Hi Kristeen,
If you own a 4S, a less expensive alternative you may want to consider is the
two dollar IOS app called Dictabulus recently described in David Woodbridge's
podcast.
Best regards.

Hi Christine,
The solution I think you're looking for is called macSpeech. It is made by
Nuance, and you can find the Homepage here:
http://www.nuance.com/for-individuals/by-product/dragon-for-mac/index.htm
Please bare in mind, that my comments are based on past enquiries to Nuance.
That being said, I do not know if accessibility has improved recently.. The
last time I saw an in-depth discussion on-list about this, I seem to remember
that the initial training for the app was inaccessible. This training is
important, as it allows MacSpeech to become accustomed to your voice,
although it may be possible to bypass this and train as you go.
From a quick search in the App Store, it does not seem to be available there.
Also, I do not believe the company is willing to provide free trials,
although they did offer a money-back guarantee when i last enquired about
purchasing.
There may however be a cheaper solution lurking somewhere, as MacSpeech seems
to be quite pricy if you only plan to use it until your arm gets better.
I hope this helps
TC :)
James

Hello,
I have to do a lot of typing and currently have an injured arm. I'm
wondering if there's a Dragon Naturally Speaking solution for the Mac and if
any of you know how well it works with Voiceover.
