However, ViaVoice could recognise only about 10% of what my wife said, which we put down to her Scottish accent. She found it almost impossible to complete the ViaVoice training because it was so unreliable for her. IBM sold ViaVoice in 2005 to Nuance, and they no longer develop it, so any version of ViaVoice that you pick up will be quite old now. I believe that Nuance also own Dragon, so I guess they have merged the technologies.
