[Athen] iListen

[Ed. Rosenthal]

We've worked with speech input for many years.  I believe that generally the
NaturallySpeaking product has had higher initial accuracy, and provides a
more complete 'tool kit' to optimize the software.  The breadth of the DNS
user interface can be disconcerting at first...but ultimately provides a
more fluid user experience...if one stays with it.

As another poster pointed out MacSpeech recently announced a licensing
agreement with Nuance and we're aniticipating a product based on the MREC
engine somewhere this year that will run on the Apple OS. (We don't know
quite what that will look/feel like, but we're optimistic based on Nuance's
past performance.)

Hi, Howard!

A comparison of recognition accuracy, user interface, user experience,  
or all of the above?  Regardless, the point might be moot since  
MacSpeech has discontinued iListen in favor of their new product,  
Dictate, which is based on the Dragon speech recognition engine.
