Hi, Pat -

There is an email list dedicated to speech-recognition programs for 
Mac.  It's called "MacVoice."  You can get to it by going to 
http://www.themacintoshguy.com, then click on "Email Lists."

The MacVoice list contains lots of discussion about ViaVoice, and 
also the program called iListen.  Both programs are available for 
OSX, but neither one seems to be ideal just yet.

Also, if you go to http://www.maccentral.com and click on "Reviews" 
you can find a review of ViaVoice for OSX, as well as one for 
iListen.  The one for iListen is worth reading because in includes a 
comparison of the strengths and weaknesses of both programs relative 
to each other.

I have ViaVoice, but I have not yet set it up for OSX, so I can't 
give you any first-hand feedback.

Cheers -
