[Athen] Dragon for Mac

[Robert Spangler]

Yeah I hope so, too.  I played around with the dictation features in
Windows a couple of years back and found them to be far inferior to Dragon,
as far as the accuracy in which it understood me.  So hopefully Apple's is
better.  I'll need to find a way to get my hands on a modern Mac; I have an
old Mac Mini from 2010 which I doubt will run Mojave.
