------ Forwarded Message From: Constance Warner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2007 15:13:15 -0400 Subject: iListen: OK or not OK? Has anybody out there tried iListen, or have any of your friends used it? What did you/they think? iListen is voice-recognition software for the Mac. You talk, it types, with 90-some percent accuracy. It's supposed to be a great advance in voice-recognition technology for the Mac. Why am I interested? Voice-recognition software is cool; it can shave hours or days off the time required to finish a project. I use Dragon Naturally Speaking on my dual-boot Mac right now, and it's FABULOUS. But you can't really move a text file (Microsoft Word) back onto the PC side of the computer (and back into Dragon) to continue working on it, once it's been on the Mac side. (The typeface turns into an unreadable mess if you do.) So iListen might be convenient, in a belt-and-suspenders kind of way; but it's not free ($120 is the lowest readily available price), and you can't get a demo version. Does anybody out there know if iListen is worth the price? --Constance Warner ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
