[MV] MacSpeech Dictate correction suggestions

[Michael Gherrity]

I would like to add to this list. I don't understand how a computer,  
or program, can use the phrase "universal access "and assume that the  
user has perfect vision. For example, the red yellow and green  
gumballs on the top menu bar of every window on the Macintosh cannot  
be resized for easier viewing. Many fonts that are used by the  
Macintosh cannot be resized. I would hope that the new correction  
program for MacSpeech would include resizable fonts for all windows.
