It's the only word processor on the Mac where you can paste in text and then edit it by voice (after "Cache Document" command). For some people this is an incredibly valuable feature. For those of us who prefer to mix voice and fingers, any other word processor is better. I used the ViaVoice notepad because that was the only place I could do correction at all. With Dictate, correction is easy in almost any program (some insert extra characters or do other weird things). Joe Senecal
