For those Windows users who also run Macs as I do,
there is good news. The tiny Mac company "MacSpeech"
has been aquired by the 800 pound gorilla "Nuance",
the owner of the Dragon NaturallySpeaking line of products.
I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking Medical 9.5 and am currently using Vista. The update SP1 was installed and I have received a message stating maximum speech data has been reached. I closed Word 2003 and Dragon and rebooted and received a message stating attempting to recover from low resources message. With that said I am unable to dictate because this message still persists. Has anyone received this message after the install of SP1?

on Vista Speech. (WSR)
Does such a control exist?
If so, is the accuracy affected if I adjust it for
maximum speed?
I am ashamed of myself, for what I did recently to my loyal Dragon Naturally Speaking speech engine. To properly suffer penitence, I feel I must offer myself up to one of andy t's long tirades. ....y'know, where he interminably carries on about the really important things in life, such as minor spelling errors.
Confession is good for the soul, so here is the shameful description of what I did to the loyal Dragon engine. I dictated my speech into the $200 version of the Dragon engine, but not just any speech. Complex medical terminology, such as: "perioperative transesophageal echocardiography"
Shameful, because the $200 version of the Dragon speech recognition software was never designed to handle such complex jargon. My dictation was roughly 600 words, roughly 1,479 syllables, which took me 7 minutes to dictate. If all the words were one-syllable words, that would be a dictation speed of 211 words per minute!
