Existing users, 
I too purchased this program based on David Pogues recommendation.
Firstly, it was incredibly difficult to install. I have been using it for almost 6 months and it cannot be trained to learn my own user specific words and I am lucky if if I get an 85-90% accuracy. So, I have basically given up - I am typing this review.
Regarding 1.5: I would be willing to pay for the upgrade in the hope that the program has finally made the grade. However, the upgrade cannot be downloaded and, living outside the USA, I would have to pay an additional $49 for shipping.
Enough is enough. and I will probably to put MacSpeech Dictate on the scrapheap of obsolete applications!

Your review says you are reviewing version 1.5, then in your review you state that you don't have version 1.5. This is very unfair to other potential customers, and to the product, to have your review registered as relating to the current product, but for it to actually be based on the previous one! Please ask versiontracker to remove your review, or re-label it as related to whatever version you ARE using. I am not related to anyone working for this product. I am someone who came to this site to read the reviews. Please help us to get more accurate info, thanks.Reply to This
