![]() ![]() All that you have to do is to move the cursor within a new document and, once you start talking, the app will automatically start typing down everything you say. ![]() Once the training process is over and you’ve learned all the terms recognized by Dragon to let you control various apps, you can also extend its vocabulary manually by adding new words and ways to figure out what you’re saying easier and faster.Īfter you’ve got Dragon configured, you can use it to dictate text to a word processor of your choice. This way Dragon will be able to learn your voice’s inflections and start to accommodate with the way you’re pronouncing words, and you will also train yourself to speak clearer and more smoothly so that your Mac can understand you. In order to get Dragon working on your Mac, you will first have to help it learn the way you speak using a voice sample. Easy voice recognition training, as well as Voice dictation and expandable vocabulary If you want to make the most out of using Dragon on your Mac, you should make sure that you’re using the Nuance-approved noise-canceling headset microphone for Mac that comes with all purchased licenses (a Bluetooth mic can be used for the wireless version). ![]() This works via the macOS' built-in Accessibility features and the AppleScript scripting integration of most Mac apps, allowing you to first of all control them using only your voice and, second, to take advantage of Dragon’s built-in compressive and versatile vocabulary to get your point across easier. The Dragon utility features a powerful and accurate speech recognition engine designed to make your Mac smarter by helping it understand what you’re saying. Fast and precise voice recognition engine The more I use this program, the more I like it! So if you prefer to speak to your Mac, instead of typing on it, considered Nuance’s Dragon Dictate for Mac OS X as it makes the tedious job of entering large amounts of information quickly, easily and accurately.Dragon (formerly known as Dragon Dictate) a streamlined and user-friendly macOS voice recognition based application that makes it possible to dictate text to your Mac, control it using voice commands and transcribe audio files to text based documents. I can see using DragonDictate quite a bit to dictate e-mails and Word documents. By doing this calibration, you’ll find that Dragon Dictate is fairly accurate. The program comes with a USB headset and you must spend about 20 minutes teaching Dragon Dictate how you typically speak so that it can learn how you pronounce words and your voice inflections. At this point, you can open a new document and simply start dictating a letter a note or what have you simply by speaking into your microphone! For example, you can say, “Open Microsoft Word” and Dragon Dictate will launch Microsoft Word automatically. Additionally, you can use DragonDictate for Mac to control applications on your Mac that you may already have. For the purpose of this review, however, I am not editing any of this text at all so that you, Gentle Reader, can get a good idea of how accurate this program is.ĭragon Dictate for Mac allows you to easily create documents, e-mails, chats, Facebook postings, and more. According to Nuance, people talk about three times faster than they can type and although I get tongue-twisted from time to time I can easily say that I can talk twice as fast as I can type! Additionally the nice thing about dictating to my Mac is that just as I can type by speaking to my Mac I can easily edit the same document with my voice instead of using the keyboard. As a matter-of-fact, I think I might use this Mac application as much as I use my iPhone app with the same name. I must say, that it works as well as the Dragon Dictation program for my iPhone.
