The soft where is bear lee use a bull. - Version: 3.0.2, 7/20/2006 04:18PM PST

The title of this review is how your document will read if recorded by ViaVoice (The software is barely usable). And after just reading a review of Nuance's latest version of NaturallySpeaking, now at version 9, and how it requires no training with 99% accuracy, I went to their website to see if they had a Mac version. They do, but it's STILL this garbage, which I had bought when it first came out, upgraded it to this version, and found it completely inaccurate (why Nuance is still selling this on their website is beyond me).
After a few months, I uninstalled it and haven't looked back. I've only looked longingly at what XPers can use. Of course you can use NatSpeak 9 on an newest intel Macs (with Apple's Boot Camp utility, a copy of Windows XP, a U.S.B. adapter on your headset, and the annoying chore of having to start up in Windows each time you want to use it), but if you're like me and waiting for the intel PRO desktops, you're out of luck. If you call that lucky. Haven't tried iListen yet, but I would really like just 1 Mac-only app like NatSpeak to work right out of the box. No training involved.

Thanks for contacting Nuance.
The current version of IBM ViaVoice MacOS X is only supported as high as 10.2 on the Mac operating system. At this time there is no current plan I'm aware of for a new immediate release that will support the new operating system. For any additional information you can contact us at 800-654-1187.
Looking for a product to help a student that has poor fine motor control and has trouble writing or typing. Can't even try this one.
