Dictating with ViaVoice

There are two methods you can use to dictate and process text with ViaVoice: dictating
into SpeakPad or using Dictation Stream Redirection (DSR), which allows you to dictate
into another application.

Dictating Into SpeakPad

This is the most common method for dictating, since SpeakPad is built upon Apple's
TextEdit technology. This integration provides a simple and seamless way to dictate and

applications.
