support and clear enough speech he would probably be better off with iListen
(speech recognition for the Macintosh). It's been around for about 5
years and it is continually be updated. The price is better as well at
$149-$179. I have used the product in the past and for dictation it is
very good however for command and control of the computer environment and for
correction of dictation errors it does not seem as intuitive as Dragon
NaturallySpeaking for the PC. Having said that iListen is far superior
(in my opinion) to IBM ViaVoice which was previously the only player on the
Macintosh for speech recognition.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

confined to a wheelchair and has trouble typing on his Mac laptop. He has
looked into purchasing Key Strokes which is a fully-functional advanced
virtual on-screen keyboard that allows you to type with a mouse, trackball,
head pointer or other mouse emulator to type characters into any standard
Macintosh application. It also provides advanced multilingual word prediction.
<BR><BR>It costs about $300.00! <BR><BR>Do any of you have any familiarity
with this product and care to share some comments/advice?<BR><BR>Do any of you
use something similar that would be less costly?<BR><BR>Any HELP would be
appreciated!<BR><BR>Thanks!<BR><BR><BR><o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P><X-SIGSEP>
