[MV] Gibberish issues ...

[Chuck Rogers]

Dave (and everyone else):

You wouldn't be filling up RAM because the speech engine translates 
sounds to text, then spits it out. What the engine would do is attempt 
to make the closest match it could to what it thinks it is hearing and 
output the result to the speakpad or active application. If, for some 
reason, the active application was not excepting text, the output would 
just trail off - or it could have an unexpected result (such as 
selecting files and folders in the Finder).

That having been said, there is always the possibility of either 
program crashing for programmatical reasons, but I wouldn't worry about 
forgetting to turn off the mic, other than the effect it might have on 
an open document.

Best Regards,

Chuck Rogers
