I gave up on Via-Voice after the same problems in later versions of Panther. Wasted a lot of time trying to make it work, scansoft help service said they could not advise any date for upgrade to work with later 10.3 (they seemed to have given-up on it). Despair turned to relief on discovering iListen. It does what it says on the box and support is good and on-going (relief turning to joy). My via-voice supplied mic worked with iListen and I haven't looked back (except to trash Via-Voice). I note Via-Voice worked with Tiger, but I won't be bothering with it again. Shame on Scansoft, I used to use Naturally Speaking on a PC for years and my confidence in them has now been destroyed.
