[Athen] MacSpeech Dictate and Snow Leopard compatibility

[Shelley Haven]

Well, it's certainly not a Mac incarnation of Dragon  
NaturallySpeaking, that's for sure.  <grin>

Dealing with the cache issues which result from using both keyboard  
and voice to edit text unnecessarily complicates things.  Fortunately,  
version 1.5 allows one to both dictate and type into Note Pad (their  
equivalent of Dragon Pad) and avoid those problems.  The downside, of  
course, is needing to copy and paste your final product elsewhere  
(email, Word document, etc.).  The latest version also introduces  
commands to purge and rebuild that cache -- more of a workaround that  
a solution, but it does work.
