Description:
Dictation, Editing, Formatting, Speech Navigation and Voice Command & Control within any application. iListen frees you from the keyboard and mouse. You are able to dictate text, edit and format it with just the power of your voice.

iListen provides you with the simplest and easiest way to get text into the applications that you use - simply dictate anywhere you would type. Our exclusive TalkAnywhere technology allow to dictate and correct directly into almost ANY application on Mac OS X.

Faster installation, setup and training mean you can be up and running and dictating with iListen in about 5 minutes.

iListen also provides Speech Navigation. You can press buttons, control the mouse, navigate the Finder and File Dialogs, open and close files, print, etc... all by voice.

Transcription support is available as an optional extra. Transcription will generate text from your WAV and AIFF audio files. Now you can be productive with your Digital Voice Recorder, record now, transcribe later. (NOTE: all the rules of using iListen also apply to transcription. You must have a trained user profile for the person who is speaking, and the speaker must say punctuation such as "period" and "comma.")

Hands Free Correction makes it easy to correct, update and teach iListen new words and phrases.

iListen's Dock Menu provides you with one click access to iListen's most used functions.
