My father has arthritis and uses Dragon NaturallySpeaking for light dictation and some web-browsing needs. I'm not sure how well it works with FT, but I'm more than willing to try it and let you know how it does. I'd recommend the USB version, as it comes with it's own sound input device. The quality of the device used for sound input is critical. Most computers come with sound cards that do a sub-standard job of digitizing voice, which results in speech recognition errors. Even if the software's incredible if it's getting garbage it won't be able to recognize anything!
