At the present time iListen is the best Mac Voice Recognition application available on the market. Check this:

However, from the forum discussions, iListen seems way behind Dragon Naturally Speaking and ViaVoice, both of which are Windows applications. (Seem like ViaVoice also had a Mac version but I don't know whether it is still on the market.)

After trying Xpress (now defunct) and IBM's ViaVoice, I find that Dragon Naturallly Speaking is the best I've used. However, mine is the DNS Preferred 8 version and I don't know whether the more expensive DNS versions are more accurate or better in features. You can read DNS users' trials and tribulations at:

Now that Apple has brought out the MacBook which can also run Windows applications, I would be grateful if any MacBook users who have successfully used DNS on their MB to share their experiences.

I am interested in buying the MacBook but, because DNS is the most important Windows applications that I would like to use if and when I switch over completely to a Mac Intel computer, I would to research on how viable is the DNS in the MacIntel world.

Any views would be most appreciated.

Thank you.
