TrailRunner 1.6v238 (Mac OS X)
...why does Trailrunner make multiple attempts to determine my IP address, by attempting to connect to sequentially several IP address lookup sites? Thank goodness for Little Snitch and proxy servers! [alert admin]

VideoDrive 1.9.6 (Mac OS X)
This version does not work. Constantly asks for Turbo.264.app during loading. Aroona Software promise it will be fixed "in the next few days" with version 1.9.7. So for the time being don't waste your time or money..... [alert admin]

MacSpeech Dictate 1.0.1 (Mac OS X)
I too was a founding user of the previous MacSpeech product, iListen, which I have used since it's inception and with every iteration. The advantage of that product was that is was phoneme based. Whether this product is or not is unclear to me. iListen remains on my hard drive and I continue to use it on a daily basis. Here's why: This new product Dictate is a mixed blessing with both good and bad features. Certainly the recognition is much, much, much faster and accuracy, with caveats, generally improved very considerably. Also the training required for voice recognition is markedly reduced on the previous product. So what is the downside? Surprisingly, given the previous product's excellent correction mode, wherein errors could be corrected within the audio file of the program and new vocabulary learnt, there is none in this product. There is also no ability to utilise a specialised dictionary, say medical or legal, or indeed any field where there exists uncommon or technical words, or jargon. Until this feature is enabled or restored it will have little use for complex tasks. If your task is simple however, plain vanilla business letters, this will work admirably for you. Fittingly, until one is able to teach the program to out put per se rather than "per say" or "person", the expression caveat emptor applies! [alert admin]

It gets better all the time... 
The following text is as dictated without correction using iListen 1.7.0. It is sure not perfect, but quite workable considering my Australian accent, mate. <Dictate> I read review by somebody else who used I listened to write his review. I thought I would take a leaf from his book and do likewise. This is mine. I have used every vote version of iListen since 1.0 and this is by father best. It is now functional and usable in the business environment. It is inadvisable to read all the training lessons to the program, but rather one should read just the first funeral, and then have iListen learn your writing style by feeding text to wait. It is also inadvisable to look at the screen while dictating, because this interrupts the flow of dictation and reduces the recognition right. I am using one of the US be microphones, having trial a wireless microphone without success. I must say in addition that de support at MacSpeech has been outstanding and even although I'm in Australia we've and Australian accent I am very happy with iListen has of voice recognition software. I cannot recommended more highly. <end> [alert admin]

Intego NetBarrier 2.0.3 (Mac OS 9)
another Intego product. NetBarrier 2.x stinks, support isn't, and sales billed my credit card twice, and won't now reply to my emails. Try some others, like IPNetSentry from SustSoftworks and you will then learn what real support is. Let Intego rot. [alert admin]
