Tiger is very flexible, and if one is not windows dependent, you will find far more efficient ways to do everything there. In my opinion of course. it is certainly tons more cost effective tons any windows speech solution when you add the extras you must keep buying something that is gone where apple is concerned as the speech is a part of the operations system. if you want to try before you buy, there is a way to test voiceover even in a store. if you are interested, yell and I will tell you how it is done. good luck, whatever you choose.
