I don't remember if the training text is spoken by Voiceover. The
major problem is that the training text changes color as it is
recognized and you can't proceed until each word is recognized.
On the plus side, this process is much shorter than it was using
iListen so it is not so painful.

Yes, dragon is quite accurate, I wonder if the training screens are
even readable with voice over?

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.
