That didn’t take long. Earlier this year, Nuance Communications took over the MacSpeech product, with the intention of improving what was already a good application.
That has now been accomplished, and today Dragon Dictate is available for the Macintosh platform — a reasonably priced upgrade for MacSpeech users.
The new version offers easier editing, the ability to switch between different microphones, and it uses a computer voice to proofread your dictated documents. The speech engine has been updated to new state-of-the-art technology.
It’s nice to see speech recognition on the Mac that finally has feature parity with the PC versions. There are some nice new and unexpected features like saying ‘search Google for Greek restaurants’, and you can do a Spotlight search by voice.
