Hi, I have a near legendary case of repetitive stress injuries in both hands, wrists, forearms and shoulders. For the work I do, I need to generate a whole lot of text. I tried MacSpeech Dictate and I find that many of its features (especially those borrowed directly from Naturally Speaking for Windows) work poorly with VO. Most especially, I find that the correction related commands are nearly unusable and, if one doesn't keep the Nuance engine (the heart of the MacSpeech product) well trained it will, like its Windows counterpart, start to get pretty weird.
This is the only thing that I like better about Vista than OSX/ Leopard. The Microsoft dictation engine works great with System Access and adequately with Window-Eyes (you need to buy a set of scripts from Brian Hartgen to get it to work nicely with JAWS). It is a really nice little dictation utility that works especially well in the Office applications. Are their any other dictation programs out there for Macintosh that we know work well with VO? A few weeks back, I was trying to solve this same issue and I could have sworn that I found a collection of podcasts about VO and dictation but I can't find them now. If this wasn't my imagination, and someone else knows of said podcasts, please send me a link.
