[MV] Re: ViaVoice vs. iListen

[Phil Tanny]

OK, thanks for the advice below.   That is very helpful to know.
I'll skip that route.

I guess the next logical question then would be,  is Windows voice
recog software better than the Mac offerings in this point in time?  

If yes, is it enough better to justify the purchase of a Windows 
machine?

Let me be the first to type "that depends!" :-) because of course
it's true that a persons individual situation is the key element
of  the equation.

Really I'm just hoping for a ballpark estimate such as,
is Windows voice recog software 5% better, 25% better,
50% better etc.  Or is it not actually better at all?

Any opinions?

Phil
