[...] Mise à jour 09.2007: Bonne nouvelle pour tous, Dragon NaturallySpeaking tourne très bien sous Parallels avec OSX. On peut donc dicter sur nos Macs! [...]

Just out of curiosity, how much memory do you have in machine, and how much is dedicated to the XP virtual machine? I had Parallels set up with DNS 9 Preferred back in February, but it was dog slow on my 2 GHz MacBook with 2 GB of RAM (1GB available to XP).

Ah well, Crossover needs my OSX install disk, and I don't have it with me here. This will have to wait until I get back home!

I'll give it a shot, but honestly I don't have very high hopes. It's not on the supported list, and speech recognition stuff is… well, delicate. (Dragon was, like, the one application which didn't work on VirtualPC, and needed workarounds to work in the first version of Parallels.)

If you haven't looked at it yet, you might also want to give CrossOver Mac http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/ a try.
