Indeed Andy. Usually Dragon on the PC can get to 75-80% after 10
minutes, but further refinement is always required.
Never believe whats on the box!

I find it extremely hard to believe that it can be trained to be that
accurate in less than five minutes...I'll believe it when I see it!

Hi All,
MacSpeech has finally canned iListen in favour of a marrying with
Nuance, and leading to Dragon for Mac, or 'MacSpeech Dictate' as it will
be called.
On sale from 15th February.
""Now for the first time, Mac users can begin dictating straight into
their applications with very little time spent training the software to
recognise their voice." It claims that training MacSpeech Dictate up to
a 99 percent accuracy level,generally takes less than five minutes and
that the product "performs at the highest accuracy level on the market
today...Using the new MacSpeech Dictate, user-spoken commands are
recognised separately from dictation, liberating the user from the need
to tell the software to change modes, simplifying the experience.""

For someone who had to get to grips with, and train, the enormously
awkward iListen, im personally jumping for joy. Thank the gods!!
