Problems using iListen with Microsoft Word

I have encountered a couple of strange problems when using iListen with
Microsoft Word.

In one case after doing some dictation the program would completely deaf and
would not respond at all. I exited both iListen and Microsoft Word and then
ran some tests. It turns out the computer was no longer hearing the
microphone. I was able to resume work after restarting the computer.
However, after not too long a time period iListen would not responded to the
correction command either by voice or by mouse. I had to quit iListen and
restart the program.

This is a trial version of Microsoft Office for Mac OS X that I am using. I
do not know if that has any effect. Here are the specifications for my
speech recognition setup:

15 inch LCD iMac with SuperDrive
800 MHz G4
768 MB RAM
VXI model P41TR microphone connected to a Griffin Technology iMic
(this is the stock microphone that shipped with my copy of iListen)
Mac OS X 10.2.6
ilisten 1.6.1

Has anyone else encountered anything like this?
