It is the same as TMG5 (not yet released) will be. It has a lot of
similarities with TMG4 (the current product) but it not the same,
especially with respect to the independence of the various windows. There
is a downloadable slideshow demo of TMG on our site and you can see screen
shots there <http://www.whollygenes.com/tmg.htm>;.

I searched my archives and found a few people that are using TMG with
Naturally Speaking and Dragon Dictate (Classic Edition). None of those
discussions noted any problems in TMG (they were mostly debates about those
two recognition programs). I haven't heard of any experience with voice
recognition in FTST. If you have any that you want to share, then I'll
know when the next person asks me <g>.

>Is nearly every operation accessible by short-cut keys?

Yes. But there are some mouse-intensive layout functions (drag and drop,
pan a chart, etc.) for which you'll want to use MS
Mousekeys.

Thanks for your feedback.
