Hi Jessi, Just to bring you up to speed and state the ruggedness of the Mac platform with OutSpoken! I am using DigiDesign ProTools 5.1 every single day with OutSpoken and "Fred" is still faithfully telling me what is up in PT and also in Studio Vision Pro MIDI sequencer I have been using Outspoken since 1993! I also will be using PT and Logic pro with VoiceOver when it comes time. PS to the list Logic's WaveBurner CD mastering Ap is quite accessible with VoiceOver. Just thought I would put my 2 cents in.
