Quadius,
Yes, Vista Speech Recognition definitely provides the ability to move the mouse vocally. It uses mousegrid commands just like NaturallySpeaking. It also has a great feature called "show numbers." You say the command "show numbers" and a translucent number is displayed on top of every clickable item on the screen. To select an item you say "click 5" or whichever numbered item you wish to click. I have found Vista Speech Recognition at least equal to NaturallySpeaking with regard to mouse control by voice. I have no information regarding Macs and NaturallySpeaking. Keep in mind that if you are going to purchase a new computer and you decide to stick with a Windows based PC, I definitely advise getting Vista, and if you do, Speech Recognition comes with Vista free of charge, so it will at least be worth a try.

For those of you who have switched from Dragon NaturallySpeaking to the Vista program, does the program offer the ability to move the mouse vocally? Is it almost as efficient as Dragon NaturallySpeaking? I would love to hear your input. I am also considering switching over to a Macintosh. I have heard that Dragon NaturallySpeaking now has software for the Macs, but I have found very little online about this product. I don't know how much it cost or whether it is as good as the normal version. I think it would be nice to go over to a system which is much more stable. It would be a big change for me, but what the heck. Quadius
