Sorry for the slow response, but I get the digest version of this  
list so your response only showed up today for me.

Joe, what you wrote is true and accurate. I wrote "touched the mouse  
or keyboard" for a practical reason. My biggest frustration with  
iListen occurred when I accidently touched the mouse and keyboard.  
While I do want/need to be able to make corrections before moving the  
cursor for efficiencies sake, the accidental touches are a bigger  
problem. Since (knock on wood) I am not paralyzed, the accidental  
touches will continue to be a problem with the current version of  
iListen.

I am glad that iListen works for you, but fortunately I have found  
another option that works for me. :)

I am not looking to get into a long dragged discussion on the merits  
of iListen v. Dragon NaturallySpeaking. I look forward to the day  
when a Mac native product will meet my needs. Enough said.

Later,

Michael
