  • This is a few years old. How does the new one compare to the older one.

  • @TheCoolProfessor More features, faster, etc. I don't use it much. One thing that has happened in the last three users is that Dragon bought it. So the original version licensed the engine from Dragon. Now it IS Dragon.

  • do you need a special headset to use this or will any mic or headset work?

  • @darkmatter314 Most Mics/Headsets will work. If it works with your Mac, you can try to use it. Better quality will get better results. The software wants you to continue to use the same mic, though, so it can hear your voice the same way each time.

    It won't work with the built in mic

  • Great review Gary.

    I am also using the MacSpeech program as we speak. And I must say, that I'm totally thrilled with its capabilities. Even when I say something randomly, it somehow predicts what I was about to say... And even though my accent is a pretty bad Danish accent, it works just fine. :-) hey, would you look at that? When I say :-) it spells out the icon. I'm getting more and more thrilled by every minute, I love this new program! :-)

  • @LordHK007 Many. Check out their Web site for details. It has come a long way since this video was made.

  • @macmostvideo What improvements have they made?

  • i like you reviews. I used Dictate for this.

  • I have to say I like MacSpeech Dictate very much is very accurate the key is just to talk and normal voice I am dictating this comment right now and I'm not editing it so you can get the real accuracy rate of gun about five minutes of training it comes with its own wired headset and is about $150 on Amazon.com I can readiness review for about 45 seconds never be written this much I am a student and I use this program a lot for school. Overall I am glad to body MacSpeech Dictate

  • ***For those without headsets***

    I followed the instructions from the link, and MacSpeech works wonderfully for me. (I am using a Mac desktop, without a headset.)

    Hope you don't mind, macmostvideo, just trying to help :-)
