I've bought every single incarnation of this software from version 1.0 of iListen and stupidly paid for every single upgrade including Dictate. I have never gotten a single version not one to function as advertised. IListen was useless. Dictate sounded promising but after flaking out another few hundred dollars it just crashes. Every now and then I try it again after an update but as of OS 10.5.8 and Dictate 1.5.2 it still crashes . At least iListen ran. Dictate is a dog.
