[MV] Re: ViaVoice gone?

[Brian Farley]

Patrick and Randy:

Maybe a bit of both; including low sales as Apple's market share keeps 
shrinking. It's a shame because with more work  (what do I know...), VV 
could correct within designated applications. I would love to see Apple 
buy either--assuming it's not just to bury.  Now VV is neither here nor 
there.  iListen continues to improve but it's interface is more 
complicated and correction is tricky.
Both can be exasperating when they get into a "passive-aggressive loop".
