Dave,
I've been investigating this same issue and haven't found anybody using
speech that has attempted to use their software. It is a little cost
prohibitive to purchase and then find out it won't work with speech. I too
would like to know and guess I will have to do it the hard way. Pat Tice
with handihams didn't know of anybody either so we are on our own!
