Nuance Announces Dragon Dictate 3 →
— ♣Dragon Dictate harnesses the power of the renowned Dragon NaturallySpeaking voice recognition technology to let Mac users simply speak to see their words instantly captured in real time on their screen. Dragon Dictate for Mac 3 is the most robust version of Dictate yet, with a 15 percent increase in accuracy, new Smart Format Rules and new correction capabilities for a personalized experience, wideband Bluetooth support, the ability to transcribe recorded audio files from a single speaker, and much more.
“Dragon Dictate delivers an incredibly powerful voice experience for the Mac community, with the ability to not only speak text for documents, emails and more, but also command and control the Mac applications and features people use the most,” said Peter Mahoney, Chief Marketing Officer for Nuance and Senior Vice President, General Manager, Dragon. “We’ve been incredibly focused on bringing new features and increased accuracy to this latest version of Dragon Dictate so Mac users can experience the accuracy, speed and productivity that results from speaking instead of typing.”
Dragon Dictate, formally !acSpeech, has been popular among users with various disabilities for quite some time. Some have expressed concern that OS X’s new Nuance-enabled dictation feature in Mountain Lion would mean that the Dragon Dictate product might languish. It’s too early to tell yet, but I believe it’s more likely to raise awareness of just how far this technology has come.
