The reason it only runs on Intel Macs is that it uses the Nuance
speech recognition engine. This is the same engine used in Dragon
Naturally Speaking. I suspect this is also the reason it costs more.

Here's the relevant quote from apple which in no way implies that it
works
with VoiceOver.
"Apple's commitment to accessibility is evident throughout Mac OS X,
including such ground-breaking features as VoiceOver, our built-in
screen
reader," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide
Developer
Relations. "We're delighted that Mac OS X users now have access to
advanced
speech-to-text dictation technology from MacSpeech, which nicely
complements
VoiceOver."
