Nice to see you in the thread ;-)

> One of the main problems and trying to solve at the moment is how to write mathematical notation using the tools I have at hand, which is a Mac, Sublime Text and DragonDictate for Mac.

Sounds like LaTeX should be an option. When I write LaTeX I use vim and the KDE PDF viewer Okular. When I save the file I let a script compile it and Okular automatically updates when the new PDF file is ready.

While I do all that with a keyboard, I guess it shouldn't be that hard to set it up with voice commands (judging from the video in the blog post). I don't know how PDF viewers act on a Mac, but using sublime instead of vim should be no problem. To speed up the creation of formulas you might want to take a look at this post (it uses vim, but maybe there are some good ideas you can make use of):
