The version I have here, the user reads a script and it records it,
then converts it into writing. I haven't installed it since having
Tiger though, so don't know how accessible for a VO user. When my
wife tried it, it also played back what she was reading on the
screen, then it came up on the screen as well. It also realy missed
it bad on her first dictation. But we bought that program I believe
back in 2004 before Panther even.
If VO could read the text you are supposed to say, with a pair of
earphones, it should be doable. But deffinitely not with speakers or
it might start training from the voice you use with VO instead of
your voice. If Vo can actually read it to you. Maybe if I get a day
or two off, will atempt it again with I listen.

if the
options and general interface for the program are visible to VO.
Thanks for the comments so far from every body.

If I remember correctly about most voice recognition packages, you
have to train them which means you have to be able to tell as you
talk whether what you say is actually what is being written. I think
that a sighted person can monitor this while doing the training; so I
imagine that having listen work with voiceover so a blind person can
get the same feedback might be desirable. Otherwise, you'd have to
try to speak something and only know what was happening upon
completing something and going over it.
