Have you heard of iListen http://www.macspeech.com/ it may be worth a go -
I have used it with one student and although it does not have all the
features of Dragon Naturally Preferred and does not work in all applications
it has improved in its recognition rates in recent times.


Best wishes E.A.

Subject: [Athen] Voice recognition for Mac

Hi all!

OK - here it is - I'm not familiar with AT for the Mac. I admit it.
Hard to believe that I've not had students asking me until now. But just
today, I've had a student in my office to discuss options. So, of course, I
come to you, this oh-so-wise group, to gain knowledge and understanding.

Student is running Mac OS X, has Boot Camp, but not very familiar with it.
Although he does use Word... Is willing to consider running something
PC-side, but he much more comfortable with the Mac environment. He is
desperate for voice recognition.

What are your suggestions???

Many thanks in advance to one and all!

Heidi
