Dave (and everyone else): ABSOLUTELY! We had this feature before ViaVoice! (We introduced it in a product called "ListenDo!" which was a free download for Mac OS 9). iListen has had a macro function since we introduced it six years ago. You can have macros of up to 32,000 characters (that's 8 pages of text!). iListen 1.7 introduces the capability to have the macros pasted using the clipboard instead of typed, which is a great time saver. Related to this, iListen can mimic any keypress (including any keyboard shortcut with any combination of modifiers), and iListen can control the menu of any application that was programmed according to Apple's developer guidelines.
