Yes, that is precisely why I posted in this Mac NG.

It is strictly a Mac issue, because Apple supplies Boot Camp

Boot Camp allows the efficient operation of Dragon
NaturallySpeaking v10.0 "medical"on a Vista Ultimate
partition.

Medical Dragon demands accurate pronunciation, because
a patients life could hang in the balance over the
mis-pronunciation of one syllable of a medical term.

Mac users here give lip service to Macs being used in
the enterprise, however when push comes to shove
it is different - - - there is little or no practical
support here for actual problems encountered.

...such as which "standard" to use for the all-important
pronunciation of medical terminology.

Odd that this concern of yours was omitted from your OP.

What is odd about that, being it is common practice not to
burden an initial post with details?

How silly of me to forget.

In this case take it to comp.sys.mac.apps...

Yeah, r-i-g-h-t, where this important topic will get
much less exposure that here. Any other useless ideas?

...or directly to Dragon.

What! - and deprive all the unwashed Mac users here of
the myriad benefits of correct pronunciation?

They appear stupid enough in text, let's not exacerbate
the situation by having them _sound_ stupid as well.

Well, it's goodbye from me.
