iListen has been replaced by a MacSpeech called Dictate. Version 1.0
is scheduled to be available on February 15. It uses the same
recognition engine that Dragon Naturally Speaking. According to
MacSpeech, Dictate has been entirely rewritten so it should support
Voiceover but they don't guarantee it.

I recently purchased leopard from apple and also purchased the iListen
package. The iListen package probably will arrive at the end of
February
since apple says there's a hold on that package. It could be an
upgrade
is in the works I don't know.

I believe there is a very nice package around called Macvoice.

Hi again,
My friend Vassilios is considering buying a new computer. he's 70
or
so and can't write well in English though he canspeak very well. he
can see enough to be able to read the letters on a Windows machine
when they're magnified three times, but his reading skills aren't
the
best either. I know that Draggon Naturally Speaking and JFW work
together but am wondering if there's a better Mac sollution, like
recognition software that works with Leopard. I think it would be
better for him since it would be cheaper and the synthesizer in
VoiceOver is more understandable. He's never worked with a
computer,
so switching from Windows to Mac isn't a problem. Let me know what
you think.
Thanks,
Tiffanitsa
