[MV] Need help (forgot subject on previous message)

Jim,

I am trying to rev up my G3 PowerBook to take dictation in the ER.  With the 
latest version from iListen, I thought I'd compare the two on the fly but the 
lack of medical vocabulary for iListen has been problematic as you've noted.  I 
emailed MacSpeech to ask if iListen could somehow incorporate the medical 
vocabulary from VV's CD.  I've not received a response.

If anyone on this listserve knows the answer, I'd appreciate it.  Thanks.
