I am dyslexic and have been using this product on and off since it was Ilisten. I have had numerous problems installing the application and getting it to work. On each upgrade, (costly upgrades) I have had to contact customer support. On only one occasion, the last one, have I had a timely response. Mac speech dictates customer support badly let down what could be a very good company and product. BTW I am using Mac speech dictate to enter this comment.

You can't use analog mics or Bluetooth headsets. It's one of the negatives compared to Dragon Naturally Speaking. Dictate requires a digital mic, such as a USB headeset.

Because mine does not show up as an available choice even after I have selected it as an Input Device in the Sound Preferences. It works fine with Skype, but Dictate doesn't see it so I can't create a profile. Anyone with any luck on that? Have you been able to use your Jawbone?
