As I just paid for the upgrade and it is called MacSpeech Dictate, I get the feeling that iDictate was a former name.
Dictation is the only really major thing that I find is definitely superior in Vista than Mac. The built-in Vista dictation, when run with System Access or using Brian Hartgen's scripts with JAWS, works really well, in fact, it's probably the best dictation solution I've ever seen on Windows.
I'm exceptionally disappointed with MacSpeech Dictate and Sphynx on GNU/Linux platforms. Sphynx has the excuse of being entirely a research project so we can't expect too much but Dictate is supposed to be a commercial product (it certainly costs enough) and it works like poop with VO.

Well, the adult Ed program is teaching a class called Mac for the very beginner. One of the things he is going to cover is what the subject line says here. What the heck would that be about? Any ideas? Jim
