Thanks for that. I wasn't particularly clean on that voice a few years ago, however I have to say I was glad I was able to have access something to do my work for music. I will say, I wasn't prepared to get a mac then because I preferred jaws. Jaws is still good, and it has got better, but I really like the voice now and am looking forward to using mac again. take care
