I appreciate the commentary. I am a physician who tried Power Secretary 11 years ago and could not make a go of it. I found ViaVoice much better but this is not an option on newer systems. Although I have not purchased the latest edition of iListen, I simply was not happy with my error rate in prior editions, despite multiple trainings and multiple suggested mics, including a $400 Sennheiser. Many of my associates are using DNS and seemingly doing well. I finally concluded that I had one of those voices that did not train well with iListen. So I was anxious to hear how things were going with Parallels/Windows/DNS on a dual Mac. Guess I'll try this option. Thanks. chris bourque
