I wrote your company several weeks ago and never got a response. So I'll try again. I'm a lifelong Mac fan, a member of the Writers Guild of America, and a grad student at the UCLA School of Film and Television, Screenwriting Division.
I've tried for years to get someone at Apple to address the speech recognition needs and interests of their customers, and I got nowhere.
Desperate, I leased a PC system just so I could use the Dragon Systems software, but I sent it back, the benefits didn't outweigh the downside of having to use the lousy Windows 98!
So how much longer till I can beta test or buy a product that will give me continuous speech on a Mac? I'd much rather buy a G3-333mz.
Also, please design the software so that it will work, without compromise on the lightest Mac notebook, or better sub-notebook!
Hope to hear from you soon -- with good news!
