Pretty soon we were working at a decent pace. It took some time to get used to the way it works, but after a few sessions using it for all typing needs, we got the hang of it. We found that, if you talk somewhat deliberately and clearly, that Dragon Dictate 2.0 works well for simple dictation. The proofreading tool helps the user find their mistakes. It will also read text to the user with text-to-speech capability. This new version updated the recognition engine and added simpler commands. He also previously highlighted the iOS version which is only voice recognition and offers no device control. Our own Xavier Lanier gave the old version a whirl a year and half ago. The Mac version of Nuance’s speech recognition program was formerly called MacSpeech. While the program is much better than it was ten years ago, it still has a steep learning curve for the user who plans to not only talk to type but also control the computer 100% with the application. When I recently had a thumb injury that made typing painful, I took the opportunity to give the $179.99 Mac version of this program a try. At that time the speech recognition engine was about 85-90% accurate to my best recollection. I first attempted to use Dragon Naturally Speaking for Windows more than a decade ago. Dragon Dictate 2.0 for Mac from Nuance is a speech recognition program that allows the user to enter text using a microphone instead of a keyboard.
