Thanks for the hint, works fine now for me.
I've been experimenting with Win2VNC + OSXvnc as a way of dictating directly into my Mac applications. Win2VNC allows you to use the VNC protocol to send keyboard and mouse commands to your Mac (running OSXvnc). I have a two-screen setup where Windows is running in one screen on the left and Mac OS X is running in the screen on the right. I set up Win2VNC to transfer control of the keyboard and mouse to the Mac when I run the cursor off the left side of the Windows screen. If Dragon is already running, you can then dictate into any application on the Mac side.
Caveats: correction doesn't work properly in all applications, apparently since the keyboard controls for selecting and deleting text differ from application to application. For example, this dialog box in Safari works fine for correction, but OS X Mail doesn't work properly. Additionally, for whatever reason, control cannot be returned to the Windows part. Normally, I should be able to transfer control back (through VNC) by moving the cursor to the right side of the Mac screen, but this just bounces. I suspect that if we could turn off mouse synchronization in Parallels Tools, this would work properly.
Synergy might also work, but it's much more difficult to configure properly, so I haven't tried it yet.
