Each has their strong points, but I'd start with Speakable Items and see 
how that worked. The Panther addition looks like it allows you to control 
any OS X menu by voice.

The main issue for me is accuracy, Speakable Items on my PowerBook rarely 
can understand what I'm saying with either the internal or headset mic. 
iListen is much more accurate. It occansionally gets commands wrong, but 
usually gets them right.

>From what I saw in a quick glance, Speakable Items will give you more 
control to start with. I haven't tried customizing Speakable Items since 
OS 9, so I don't know what's posible. With iListen you'll need to create 
voice macros yourself, although these can be quite powerful.
