Hello All,
Firstly a happy Halloween to you!

There has been some questionable activity here of late, including posting of
mp3 links which are, put simply, not legal. This is to say that those who

Hi All,
So I know there is speech recognition on the mac, and I have quite a few
questions about it.
1. Is it compatible with Voice Over?
2. How does it work with VO?
3. How good is the quality of it, how is it with picking up your words and
writing them correctly.
Thanks.

So are you saying that turning off plugins disables flash? How do you do
that. I can turn on/off Extensions but not plugins in Safari Preferences
and Flash doesn't show up as an Extension.

I think that the biggest difference you'll have is a slight learning curve
