Mac Speech runs flawlessly on Leopard with Intel core 2 duo!!
After reading all of the "scary" reviews I was really unsure about purchasing MacScpeech, but my experience was one of extreme ease and definite satisfaction! The program installed effortlessly. It acclimated to my voice within a few short minutes and I was off and running!
MacSpeech
's accuracy is amazing! Only occasionally does it mistake a word, and that is usually because I used a specialized term not in it's data base or I forgot myself and used slang. Its fast too! Never has a problem keeping up!
If you have an aluminum Mac, which have Intel core duo processors, with 2.8 Ghz processing capability and 2GB of ram memory, you will have no problems. Anything slower and less sophisticated may have problems keeping up with MacSpeech.

Great product -- faster than Dragon Naturally Speaking!
I would highly recommend this product for people who are wanting to talk vs. type for their computer. The product is easy to install and set-up. Since I can "teach it" it is getting better all of the time. I had Dragon Naturally Speaking and have found this product to be quicker, easier to use and more efficient. It works best in the notepad which adds an extra step to transfer it to the other documents I am working on, but since you basically have to edit it anyway it is an acceptable extra step.
Better than I expected
Most of the negative reviews of this product have to do with defective CDs that were shipped in the past. The software itself has been cited as superb - and I totally concur.
Hurt my back, so typing was very difficult. To keep up with work and email, I thought I'd try this out. I am EXTREMELY impressed. All I did was read some words on the screen for about 10 minutes and I was up and running. I followed their suggestion to have the software 'learn' from passages I created, and the accuracy kept improving. Took a little time to go through the user guide (which wasn't as huge as many other programs - and had some humorous touches) to learn some shortcuts and tips. My back is better, but I'm still using it. For long documents, it's actually easier than typing.
One last note, people who have used speech recognition software will say it's not as fast as typing. One thing to keep in mind is they're often comparing their typing after 20 years of practice to the software after 20 minutes of practice. Not fair. I was forced to use the software almost exclusively for two weeks - and became equally adept at it. VERY glad I bought it - it's impressive!

very useful
I just got
MacSpeech
Dictate
today, and am using it to type this review. I'm really impressed. I've tried to use voice dictation software before, but have never gotten it to work efficiently. Since I have cerebral palsy, typing is very difficult for me. MacSpeech Dictate is the first software I've found that actually helps me to use the computer faster. It doesn't seem to have any trouble with my slight speech impediment, and it's doing well as my voice gets tired. I would recommend this software to anyone with a disability who needs to be able to use the computer at a normal pace.
One note: the user guide that comes with the software is woefully inadequate. It's taken me most of the night to figure out how to do simple editing and formatting tasks. But once you get the hang of it, this is great stuff.
