The first continuous speech recognition for the Mac was IBM ViaVoice 
Millennium Edition.  After doing further research on the date it was 
1998 that IBM announced it would develop a Mac based version of 
ViaVoice.   ViaVoice Millennium Edition was first available on 
December 8th 1999 according to IBM's press release archive.

By that time as I stated before everything had already stabilized on 
the PC side.

Though, curiously enough, I cannot find press releases with dates for 
either ViaVoice Enhanced (the successor to ViaVoice Millennium 
Edition) or ViaVoice for Mac OS X I do know that IBM released 
ViaVoice for Mac OS X in November of 2001.  It remains to be seen 
whether or not the Mac can close the 3+ year gap in capabilities.  I 
know some of the problems are due to the Mac OS itself.
