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.[/quote] Training was about 5 mins! It uses Dragon's technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.[/quote] Right...MacSpeech Dictate's better--it types what i say.

It uses Dragon's technology.[/quote] That's really impressive. In the version I used, I got a little impatient at telling it how to punctuate sentences and correcting homonyms (like "meet" vs. "meat" or it might misunderstand me and put "feet"). It's a little hard to use with other people around talking too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
