8/11/2023 0 Comments Dragon speech for mac![]() ![]() Version 6 just landed and I’ve been using the heck out of it. The Skinny on Version 6Įvery year or two, Nuance releases an update to Dragon for Mac. The built-in macOS dictation isn’t bad but also can’t keep up with Dragon Professional for Mac on accuracy or features. Since then Dragon Professional for Mac has been the gold standard for dictation on the Mac. A year later, Nuance bought MacSpeech Dictate outright and turned it into Dragon Professional for Mac. (I used to run a virtual PC on my Mac largely for the purpose of using Dragon Dictate for PC.) Then MacSpeech licensed the Dragon dictation engine and things got better. In 2008, a product called “MacSpeech Dictate” showed up and it was workable, so long as you had never used the superior Dragon Dictate on PC. ![]() A Brief History Lesson about Dragon and the Macįor a long time, the Mac was a wasteland for dictation software. One of the leaders in this space is (and always has been) Nuance and its Dragon Professional for Mac dictation software. Nowadays, however, our computers are a lot faster than those of 20 years ago and voice dictation software is quite a bit smarter. I started using dictation tools about 20 years ago, when they were pretty crappy. I know a lot of folks that enjoy fancy pens and artisan notebooks but for me words ( particularly first draft words) are more something that I want to get out of my system than something to lavish upon. There’s no secret that I’m a voice dictation fan.
