Hi
I need info on the Mac Voice Recognition Software
Does it really work and can I dictate my words into a mic and it automaticly transfers it into text on my micro soft word

PS how much is it? and whats the garrentee?
I have an older version and will probably upgrade. Yes it works, if you are willing to devote time training it to understand you, and you learning to annuncate the same way each time. It's a lot of work to set up just for casual use IMO, but it does work and also has a very active support forum.
