- Mac Mini Aluminium running at 2.4 GHz.
Hi Guys,
I have a Mac Mini Aluminium running the Snow Leopard OS at 2.4 GHz with 2 gb of RAM and my only reason for wanting to use Parallels in order to install Windows XP Pro (SP3) on this Mac is so that i can run Voice Recognition software. I have tried all kinds of VR software but I can't find one that works with Snow Leopard.
But here's the thing. I have Microsoft Office for the Mac but if I got a programme such as Nuance's Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 (for windows), would I be able to dictate directly into the Office programme?
Also, (i get confused easily) if I have the VR software installed on the Windows partition created by Parallels during install, will I be able to use the Navigation aspect of the VR software on the Mac OS?
By "Navigation", I mean things like using the VR to scroll up and down a web page, open programmes or click links.
Lastly, and on a totally different subject, I realise that I will need to install an AV prog but even that confuses me. I have ClamXav installed on my Mac but do I need to install another AV prog such as Avast on the Windows partition?
Thanks for any help, guys.
