[Athen] Voice Recognition on the Macintosh

[Jay Wilson]

Hello David,
Dragon is no longer supported for Mac.

The Mac built-in dictation and Voice Control features work
remarkably better than in the past. Most students who I work with on Macs
have been very happy with it recently and not needed/used additional
software.
