IBM VIAVOICE for Mac OS X USB review:2 stars (ViaVoice Mac OS X doesn't work beyond 10.3.5) - I recently purchased ViaVoice MAC OS X because I had used the OS 9 version and liked it. When I up-graded to a new G4 Powerbook running OS 10.3.7, I purchased the new version so that it would work with OS X. After installing it and going through the training, I found that I could not use it, because it kept unexpectedly quiting when I tried to launch Speakpad. I called Scansoft and was informed that it only works with 10.3.5 or below. I have searched many descriptions of the product and no mention of this was found. Tech support said that they had been working on it, but saw no new release in the near future. I would not recommend the product if you plan to use an up-to-date operating system. ScanSoft ought to make this clear in their product requierments.5 stars (Outstandng product) - I receive my ViaVoice software last night one day after I ordered it. Amazon told me it would get here in seven to nine business days, but it came the next day. Hats off to Amazon for quick delivery. Thirty minutes after I opened the box, I was dictating on my Macintosh using ViaVoice. I took the time to go through two of the training lessons, and the more I read to ViaVoice the better it got at recognizing my words. Now, after only a few hours of working with ViaVoice, my dictations are almost one hundred% error free. I wholeheartedly recommend ViaVoice to anybody who is looking for a dictation package for the Macintosh which is price effective and easy to use. By the way, this entire review was dictated to ViaVoice. I left in the few errors and that it made so that you could see how effective is. 1 stars (Save your money!) - I purchased ViaVoice for Mac Enhanced version and immediately had problems with it. Foolishly I upgraded to ViaVoice for Mac OS X, release 3, and thought the problems would be over. I was wrong. This software has very poor overall performance. It slows, hangs and freezes at the drop of a hat. There is no rhythme or reason to the freezes. I've tried stoping and restarting, reloading, various combinations, and it never seems to work properly. Being a Mac Addict since 1986 I think I know a thing or two about this system. It's not a user issue, it's a software issue!
