I was afraid of that. I gave them a year to accomplish that.
It appears, unfortunately, that I may be correct about
that pessimistic estimate.
Do not see how they can hold on to their present market,
but they may surprise us all.
Their competition is Nuance, the present owners of Dragon
NaturallySpeaking for the Windows platform.
At least now MacSpeech has added some new entries to their
own website, after months of ignoring that website.

I can hardly wait for someone with a thick accent to "answer" my
questions pertaining to MacSpeech Dictate.
In my view, MacSpeech would have been much better off keeping
you on the payroll as their sole technical sup****t person, instead
of wasting money by outsourcing sup****t.
Thanks for the update, Chuck.
