[DM-MUG] Voice To Text Software

[Matt Stanton]

Dragon Naturally Speaking is a windows-only package.  The company that 
distributes Dragon NS also has a dictation package for Macintosh called 
'MacSpeech Dictate'.  It is similar in cost to the 'preferred' edition 
of Dragon NS ($199).  It requires an Intel-based Mac with Leopard or 
better (10.5.6).  It comes with a USB noise-cancelling mic if you buy 
the full version (upgrade version doesn't come with the mic, but you'd 
obviously need the full version).
