MacSpeech Dictate

Out of a number of very thoughtful reviewers on this new MacSpeech Dictate, littlepb's provided an excellent insight into how the brain processes the spoken and written words differently. This neurological observation is THE major obstacle for most new users. littlepb's insightful recommendation on using this program interactively, could function for those who prefer to perfect (edit) as they gradually dictate paragraph after paragraph. Yes, good writing is mostly editing. ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - very useful
I just got MacSpeech Dictate today, and am using it to type this review. I'm really impressed. I've tried to use voice dictation software before, but have never gotten it to work efficiently. Since I have cerebral palsy, typing is very difficult for me. MacSpeech Dictate is the first software I've found that actually helps me to use the computer faster. It doesn't seem to have any trouble with my slight speech impediment, and it's doing well as my voice gets tired. I would recommend this software to anyone ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great product -- faster than Dragon Naturally Speaking!
I would highly recommend this product for people who are wanting to talk vs. type for their computer. The product is easy to install and set-up.

It works best in the notepad which adds an extra step to transfer it to the other documents I am working on, but since you basically have to edit it anyway it is an acceptable extra step.

Hurt my back, so typing was very difficult. To keep up with work and email, I thought I'd try this out. I am EXTREMELY impressed. All I did was read some words on the screen for about 10 minutes and I was up and running. I followed their suggestion to have the software 'learn' from passages I created, and the accuracy ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Product
I've used Dragon on my PC for years. This product offers an equal for the Mac. It learns fast and has great accuracy. I've been 100% problem free since day one.
