Any chance you have pointers on how to set that up? You'd probably laugh/cry to see my setup right now, with my Windows desktop on the left monitors and my MacBook on the right monitors because I need both... purely because Dragon is only sold on Windows since this started been an issue for me. A more tightly coupled super-aenea sounds pretty fantastic.

Sure: First run Talon on both sides. Then go to your talon home directory (click talon icon in tray -> scripting -> open ~/talon). There's a draconity.toml file there.

On the Dragon side, you need to uncomment and update the `[[socket]]` section to listen on an accessible IP.

On the client side (Mac in your case), uncomment / update the `[[remote]]` section to point at your other machine.

You also need to make sure both configs have the same secret value.

From there, restart Dragon and look in the Talon log on the Mac side for a line like "activating speech engine: Dragon".

To prevent command conflicts, I recommend setting Dragon to "command mode" (if you have DPI), and only adding scripts to Talon on the Mac side.

If it doesn't work, you can uncomment the `logfile` line in draconity.toml on the Dragon side, restart Dragon, and look in the log to see what's going on.
