ClaireWare Speech Typer 1.0.4 is a program which lets users type widely used words and phrases. Up to now, Apple's Speech Recognition technology has been used just to make commands.

While Speech Typer does not make your Mac a full fledged dictation machine, it does allow you to "type" commonly used words and phrases just by saying them.
