Hi Folks,
MacSpeech has been a long term vendor of speech recognition programs
for the Mac. Their first program was iListen which (I believe) has
been discontinued. MacSpeech Dictate is the current product and uses
the same recognition engine as Dragon Naturally Speaking. I've tried
it and it seems to do a good job of speech recognition but still has a
few problems with correction. One problem you will run into is
training the recognizer. It seems to require a sighted person to tell
you what to say during the training process. On the plus side, it
seems to require less training to get good results.
HTH and Good Night!

I think mac speech dictate is indeed the name of the program.
Apparently it requires at least version 10.4 tiger of the Mac OS,
which is some ways is a good sign, perhaps it's developed using coco
which would usually be accessible. It's a shame they don't offer a
demo.

Hello,
A while back, Macspeech was being discussed on this list and I don't
know if it's accessible for those using VO. If I remember correctly,
it didn't have a downloadable demo and no one wanted to purchase
it to
give it a try. I'd also be interested if anyone has used it with
success.
