Other notes:

Besides the "Do Select" or "Do Select Backwards" commands, there are also 
voice commands such as "Press move left" or "Press Extend Right". Also 
you can switch to spelling mode to dictate a correction letter by letter, 
then switch back to dictation mode to say "Press One".

The only place in iListen where you must use the keyboard (or mouse) is 
when commiting corrections. And even there, I think there is a preference 
option to turn off that dialog.

Also, if you don't like the commands available in iListen, you can make 
your own. For example, I made commands such as "Move Left 5" by using 
copy and paste to duplicate the "Press Move Left" code 5 times. I used 
the same techneque to make a spelling command "Choose 1" that switched 
back to dictation mode and press the first choice button."

I used to use ViaVoice for dictating program code, but since the release 
of iListen 1.6, I've been using iListen instead. I found Via Voice easier 
to use when dictating into it's own Speak Pad application, but for 
dictation into other applications, iListen works much better for me.
