He dislikes typing about as much as I do. His hope is that, at least at home, he will never have to type again. Since I told him about this type of technology, the Gadgeteer Kid has been very motivated to try it out.

I have tested Dragon Dictate with a variety of software that allow text input: Microsoft Office 2011 (Word and Outlook), Pages, WordPress, Lotus Notes, etc. While the lag is noticeable, it is not too irritating or painful. The iPhone microphone app definitely lags since it is bouncing through your WiFi bubble and back to your computer. I have to speak slower than normal speech but that just gives me more time to think about what I want to say. I have found the provided USB microphone is the most accurate of the three input methods/devices I tried: USB mic, MBAir’s internal mic, and iPhone. This ‘learning process’ increases the word/transcription accuracy of the software. The software provides you approximately a dozen passages of text that you read to each input device/profile.

This process takes anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes and has to be done for each input method creating a different profile for each (USB mic, bluetooth headset, iPhone, etc). That said, just recently, Nuance has released an iPhone app which gives you another, potentially more convenient wireless input option allowing you to use your smartphone as a microphone/input device via a WiFi network.Īfter selecting an input device, you have to read to the software/your computer, allowing it to learn how you speak/talk. I was hoping that my Plantronics 925 or 975 would be compatible, since they are so much more compact and transportable than either the wired or Calisto headsets. The Plantronics Calisto bluetooth headset is currently the sole wireless option Nuance suggests. If you prefer to go wireless, there are not many (blessed) options available.

Nuance also has a download only and Bluetooth microphone options as well. With the version of Dragon Dictate I received, Nuance included a Plantronics USB microphone for vocal input. Once that is accomplished, you are almost ready to start talking to your computer. The first step is to load the software onto your hard drive, followed by the vocabulary/grammar database. So, with their recent release of version 2.5, Nuance sent me a copy of the software to give it a go.Īs with most applications today, installing Dragon Dictate for Mac was extremely easy. He has written several very positive commentaries/reviews on Dragon Dictate for Mac. What/who convinced me to make the leap was Dan Cohen, a fellow writer/reviewer over the. I have debated for years on when to give this type of technology a try, always worried that whatever software I tried would fall short of my expectations. For Mac users, their Dragon Dictate software is really the best (and potentially only) option at this point. From everything I have read, Nuance is the industry leader in the technology.

It has taken a while, but those times are here (and some would argue that they have been for a while) for both the Windows and Mac users alike. In the interim, I hoped for computer and software technologies to evolve to the point of being able to talk and have my speech transcribed into written word.
I was so bad, in college I used to bribe my girlfriends with dinner out on the town if they would type my papers for me, thus saving me hours/days of effort. I was in band, shop, PE and even took extra math and science to get out of typing. It is my own fault, during high school I did everything I could to get out of typing class. This is not ideal for my day job or writing reviews here at. The black and white, dead-truth of the matter is, I am a horrible typist. The Gadgeteer is supported by readers like you!
