I tried using Dragon Naturally Speaking awhile back, and it requires you to read certain passages into the microphone for about a half hour to an hour so it can learn your speech patterns.

dUSt Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Flip's Mac talks to him. In fact, on a road trip last week, we were on his laptop in the middle of a TX desert, driving down the highway at 70mph, video chatting with one of his friends. I totally felt like Knight Rider.

Mercy me Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 He is using MacSpeech dictate which I thinkn is better than what normal Macs can do. But I use the speech to move all around on my Mac. It knows all my favorite sites. You turn it on by going to System Preferences, click speech and them turn it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
