Where can I download the demo?

It works well for me - the set up is easy and straightforward (at least for me), and the recognition right out of the box very, very high (if used with the right set-up, that is, a good headset and after the initial training session, which only lasted 5 min for me). For some reason, the accuracy is dependent on the software that you use. I got lucky: the apps I need Dictate the most for (Scrivener, TextCite) for well with it. Others, like Mail, have a much worse accuracy. You can always use the notepad that and then copy it over, however (and obviously the accuracy in the notepad is very high as well). The main problem is that this version does not yet allow good ways to edit text through the use of speech at this point. MacSpeech will add this feature in a future release (standard in the the Win version), and for high-power users of speech recognition this is critically missing feature at this point. As for me, I can do the editing later on with my hands, and that's fine. I save a lot of time dictating passages from books and journals and slowly getting used to dictating my writing to my computer, rather than writing it.

I use a Logitech headset and am very happy with the results.
