[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1803936, member: 190607"] I'd say that the chances of that happening are non-existent. Nuance bought up all their competitors, which means that they hold all of the critical patents on this technology. Not to mention decades of development. The obstacles to another developer who wanted to enter this space are just too great. I know that Apple has licensed Nuance's speech-to-text technology. My hope is that they can enhance what is already in the Mac OS. But I don't know the limits of their license. What I *can* tell you is that hundreds of doctors and lawyers across the country are going to be abandoning the Macintosh now for lack of this product. I don't know if Apple cares about this or not. I do hope that folks write to Apple and ask them to make sure that professional-level speech-to-text is available for the Mac. If Apple doesn't hear that there is a demand, then they won't help at all. [/QUOTE]
