Success with Dragon NaturallySpeaking on MacBook with Parallels

Just a note to say I was quite (completely!) successful in getting Dragon NaturallySpeaking to work on my Macbook. I've blogged about it more in detail here:

I still have to find a way to make it dictate into OSX applications directly (my dream!) and teach it custom words so that I can easily mark up text in HTML (or markdown). I'll be having a look at NatLink (I have Dragon Preferred).

Stephanie,

I could be wrong, but based on my knowledge of DNS and OSX, I would suspect that you will not be able to get DNS to dictate into OSX applications. There are just too many intervening variables that would, more than likely, prevent this.

However, if you find a way to do this, let us know.

Hi Chuck, the method

Hi Chuck,

the method outlined here seems to have worked, at least at some point:

For the moment, I'm stuck with not managing to get VNC set up.
