[MV] Re: iListen compared to ViaVoice/DNS

Rev. Dave (and everyone else):

As I mentioned, some people will do better with one program over the 
other, and there is really no way to tell what each individual's 
experience may be without them trying it.

That having, been said, however, I believe you will find the accuracy 
in iListen significantly improved over earlier versions, and the 
Correction interface now includes the ability to add new words directly 
while in correction.

So, with the above proviso clearly stated, I would not hesitate to say 
that most users will be able to get at least 95% accuracy (if not much 
higher) as long as they consistently use Correction to teach iListen 
how to better recognize your voice. The more one uses correction, the 
less you will have to use it over time, btw. I met several users at 
Macworld Expo in January who maintain they are getting over 99% 
accuracy with a fully trained voice profile for which they have 
consistently used correction.
