Back when the product was MacSpeech and used the Phillips voice recognition engine, as I understand it, a user's voice either fit the model in the program, and the program worked really well for you, or it didn't, and the program's performance was unavoidably unacceptable. I'm wondering if that is still the case, or if there are now very few failures. So far we've heard of one, Gerald's, though we really didn't get any details to be able to tell why his experience was a failure. ___________________________________________ Randy B.
