It’s much better than Mountain Lion’s built-in Dictate, though.Īnd mistakes also depend on how you position the microphone. Although Dragon Dictate 3 still gets its wrong with some words that I really think it should get right (Mistaking “this” for “Hiss”, for example).
Under the hood, an enhanced audio engine and further refinements of the recognition algorithms are responsible for my enthusiasm. After having played with it now for good a week, I’m convinced Dragon Dictate for Mac 3 shows the way towards future interfacing with a Mac: through speech. I tested Dragon Dictate for Mac 3 with the brilliant Plantronics Savi 745 DECT system and with a WAV file from a Zoom H4n audio recorder. The new transcription capability using a voice recorder or a mobile with the mic app you can download for free from the Nuance web site, is a great improvement too. According to Nuance, the software has become 15% more accurate than its predecessor, and I do believe that’s no marketing hyperbole.ĭragon Dictate for Mac 3 recognizes my dictation faster, has more advanced correction, and lets me easily select an alternate word choice. Dragon Dictate for Mac 3 is the first version that understands what I’m saying 99% of the time.
