dragon naturally speaking software for mac

Â€˜At the core of MacSpeech Dictate is the world-renowned speech recognition engine, Dragon NaturallySpeaking.â€™įor those who have been limping along with iListen or Via Voice â€“ you wonâ€™t believe the difference! The latest version – Dragon Dictate 2.0 – achieves almost full accuracy with just 5-6 minutes of training. It is now up to version 2.0 which has been renamed ‘Dragon Dictate’. So personally it’s been a 10 year wait for Dragon Naturally Speaking to arrive on the Macintosh – but finally it’s here! After using Macspeech Dictate since it’s release 2 years ago, I can say Macspeech Dictate is far and away the best dictation software for the Mac. Viavoice wasn’t as good as Dragon Naturally Speaking but it did the job (and meant I could get rid of the PC!) I used ViaVoice for the next 6 years.

Not long after that, IBM released Viavoice for the Mac. I would dictate to the PC and then copy files to my Mac on a thumb drive!ĭragon Naturally Speaking was by far the best voice recognition software – but sadly it was not available for the Apple platform. I’ve been waiting for almost 10 years for Dragon Naturally Speaking to arrive on the Macintosh! And finally it’s here – Dragon Dictate.ĭespite being a long time Apple user user, in 1999 I purchased a PC (yes that’s right!) just to run Dragon Naturally Speaking.
