Hi Chris, Steve Sawczyn did a demonstration of mac speech dictate on one of his programs, and you can go to
http://www.atmain.com/show
for the archive of that show, and there, you might be able to obtain his email address.

Hi,

I'm really struggling with MacSpeech Dictate. It does a terrific job
recognizing speech but a number of features, including the "correct
that" command that gives the user the ability to both fix an
incorrect translation by the software and also add the term and its
sound to its dictionary to improve recognition in the future. Some
of the commands partially work but one can get stuck in a dialogue
with no obvious or even obscure way out that I could find.

I have two questions:
