I purchased Handwriting For Heroes, a non-dominant handwriting retraining workbook, a while back. It's great, it's the first one out there dealing specifically with this retraining issue.

Their website:

http://www.handwritingforheroes.com
http://www.handwritingforheroes.com/onl ... rvival-kit

has lots of great one handed tips and insights.

Browse through the site, and see what you can find. It has lots of useful stuff!

Has anyone used the Dragon Naturally speaking software? I'm just wondering if it's any good. I'm not sure if I should get it for myself as I have tendonitis in my non-affected hand now.
