[MV] Re: ViaVoice vs. iListen

[tscheresky at micron.com]

What are you hoping to accomplish with voice recognition?  I guess I'm asking what will you be using voice recognition primarily for?  Typing e-mail?  Surfing the Web?  Transcription of previously recorded audio files into text?  Hands-free control of your computer?  Depending on the answer to these questions it will be easier for someone on this list to recommend a product.

I'm getting the impression that ViaVoice may
be a more accurate transcriber, but that iListen
is much easier to work with, and is perhaps
being developed more aggressively. 

I'm about to purchase my first voice recog
product, and am leaning towards iListen.
Would love to hear from users who 
have experience with both products,
or strong opinions either way.

I'm new to list, so my apologies if this 
is an ancient thread.   Please ignore
with my understanding if this has already
been covered.
