hello, yes Dragon Dictate does work on an actual Mac computer, this is evidenced by the fact that I'm writing this e-mail completely with Dragon Dictate, the thing that you must be aware of is that as you dictate, is probably an extremely good idea to turn voiceover off. You can certainly use voice over when you are not dictating. It is kind of tricky to edit your documents, I would strongly suggest that if you do do this if you can invest in a good braille display. Just my thoughts. Maurice minds, amateur radio call sign KD0IKO. Note this e-mail has been dictated with Dragon dictate, please forgive any errors in the software, and they may be the result of the software, or the dictation process. Thank you very much for reading this. On Aug 9, 2011, at 11:38 PM, irenehollybarry wrote:
