In this regard DNS is no better than iListen.  In DNS if you want to
speak a command while in dictation mode you better make a significant
pause, or your command will be recognized as dictated text.

I second that! I need to use my computer hands-free as well, which is
why I've been hesitant to move to iListen. One of the big things that
turns me off is not being able to mix command & control with dictation
without explicitly switching modes.
