Insert the CD titled “Application Disc”. A window like the one
in Figure 2-1 should appear. If it does not, double-click the
CD image on your desktop. Drag the MacSpeech Dictate
icon shown over to the picture of your Applications folder.
This will copy MacSpeech Dictate and its documentation to
the Applications folder.

Data DVD
During the initial installation, set-up and training, MacSpeech
Dictate will ask for the Data DVD (in most versions titled
“MacSpeech English Data Disc”). This comes with the prod-
uct, and is a separate disc from the Application CD. Please
have the DVD handy for when the program requests it.
Your Reiration Code
Registration Codes have 16 characters broken into
4 groups of 4 characters each by dashes. Here is an
example:

This code should be on a sticker, on the sleeve for the
MacSpeech Dictate Program CD. After entering your
Registration Code you will receive a license file back
from MacSpeech’s servers.
