Big Blue today rolled out ViaVoice 1.0 for the Macintosh operating system, which provides a voice interface for performing basic computer tasks, like creating email and editing documents, the company said.

IBM already offers ViaVoice for Windows-based PCs.

After text is created, the software's integrated transfer feature lets users transfer text into Macintosh applications, such as AppleWorks or Microsoft Word.

The new software sells for $89.95.
