[MV] IBM ViaVoice 3 and 10.4.7

[Valerie Maples]

I think if you invest enough time teaching iListen your style and  
feed it enough documents with your medical vocabulary, you will find  
it much better than previous versions.  It is *so* different from DNS  
that a comparison is unfair, IMO, from product maturity and OS  
limitations, but it is very workable and trainable for the most  
part.  Standard text dictation is much quicker than previous  
versions, but it takes a lot of time and dedication to add in a wide  
array of proper names and medical terms if not brought in early  
through learning my writing style.

Like you, I am a hard core Mac User, but my disability and medical  
dictation have me use my Windows box for those lengthier straight  
medical documents.  Due to mail and security issues and viruses and  
other horrors on PC's, I use iListen for all that.  The result is no  
more problems on the PC with no email and Internet downloads.

Let us know your experience if you decide to play with iListen.  The  
more feedback developers get, the better the product will be.
