About ViaVoice
Welcome to ViaVoice, now running on Mac OS X, the all-new operating system from
Apple. IBM's ViaVoice incorporates the most advanced consumer speech-recognition
technology available. With ViaVoice, you have at your disposal a sophisticated tool that
can save you time and add great value to your computer activities.
What Can I Expect?
Every new technology brings innovation. Within its wide scope of possibilities, ViaVoice
and you work together, to develop speech patterns and recognition capabilities. With
frequent use, this may reduce the time required to perform many common tasks, such as
correction.
Can I Install ViaVoice?
Mac OS X is a multiuser operating system, therefore only users with Administrator
privileges can install ViaVoice, so make sure you have your Administrator password
handy. This program must be installed on the OS boot volume. Consult the ReadMe file
for information about using previous versions of ViaVoice and other information.
What Will I Need?
Have all components at hand, a compatible USB headset microphone, the installation
CD, and this User's Guide. You need to carefully review the system requirements listed
on the box. Once you have established that your Macintosh
meets or exceeds the
®
minimum system requirements, you can begin the installation process.
How Long Will it Take?
The amount of time it takes to set up ViaVoice depends on your hardware configuration
and other factors. After the initial installation is complete, the ViaVoice SetupAssistant
needs to process your Voice Model before you can start ViaVoice. It is estimated that this
step will take approximately 15 minutes.
