MacSpeech are apparently working on an update for their 1,5 version. I too recently bought MacSpeech in preparation for a Uni degree I'm doing. Having argued the case for an Apple Mac with the Universities disabilities office, I am disappointed that MacSpeech seem to have been more interested in getting professional versions of their system onto the market.
Over the Summer they released, legal and medical versions at $500 +, just in the last week they've released international versions.
I know that profitability is important, BUT, it doesn't look good if their Snow Leopard update isn't round the corner.
Hopefully now the international versions are out, the Snow leopard patch (fix) will be around the corner!?
