Voice control for Word x.X for Mac OS 10.2.3?

[Tim Murray]

Are there any decent voice control applications that work with Word v.X under
Mac OS 10.2.3?

I'm testing Voice Commander, and it's okay, but it works like most others: a
spoken command sets off an external keystroke. I'm wondering if there is
something that integrates more throughly into Word itself, so that for a
given macro (for instance), you could "choose" a toolbar button, a keystroke,
or a spoken word, from within Word itself.

Thanks. I own VV for Windows, but had figured that it was Windows-only.

No there is a Mac version.

But if its like 99% of software on the Market that does both PC and Mac, it
abilities won't be up to par with the PC version.
Companies that do both versions tend think " aw shucks ... because the Mac has
this much Market share we got to put out something."

When they ought be thinking " let's see how many Mac Users we can get for our software."
