I'm looking for some speech recognition software. Supposedly, MacSpeech Dictate is specifically for Mac.

It uses Dragon technology, but is specifically geared to Mac programs; e.g. Pages.

If anyone has any experience with this product, I would appreciate your comments, reviews, opinions, etc.

Full Disclosure: I'm pretty much a techno-boob, so bear that in mind when responding.

Thanks in advance for your help.
 
I have the older macspeech 1.5 dictate program and it works surprisingly well. The program is very accurate once it learns the way you talk.

I use it to write my English papers and its accurate except a few times where it might miss a word because they sound similar or because i pronounce them wrong.

Overall i love the program, it has saved me countless hours of typing out boring English papers among other things.
