I am working on a book and interview many people for an hour each. I am a Mac user and do not want to buy a pc just for a good solid speech recognition software. It has been a while since this post was created — a year and some change. What program do you suggest I purchase and why.
Is the Dragon speak on PC that much better than anything I can get on a mac. Thanks M. It needs to be trained to the voice it is recognising, and requires you to speak clearly. I have a thick stack of reels to transcribe, and I would FAR prefer training a robot to handle the transcription than I would training and paying a bubblegum popping employee. But keep in mind that the audio quality has to be very good and it have to be speaking straight into the microphone, and it certainly would not be able to do two voices like in an interview.
Have they worked out the bug in Dictate, such as you described here? A few reasons. So you must dictate by commands, which is tedious to say the least. Please advise. I have a Mac and work in pharmaceuticals. I travel from account to account long distances in my car and would like to use a handheld digital recording device that I could attach to my Mac and have it transcribe to text.
Sounds to me that, unlike Dragon, one cannot use an external recording device with MacSpeech Dictate. Would this work correctly and would it allow me to use an external digital recorder? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ditto the Q from Marti for me! Waiting and hoping!! It may be of interest to some recent questions! You still have to use your hands too much to paste the dictation into the app you want or to email it etc.
Mac-speech dictate is hands down the best dictation software for the Mac. Marti, this should help: Unable to start Dragon Naturally Speaking 9. Resolution There are two ways to solve the problem:. In the Administrator account, Windows Vista will put the program into elevated mode automatically.
Dragon Naturally Speaking arrives on the Macintosh! Apr […]. I have been swayed not to go with the Mac version as bloggers report multiple problems from editing to a major slowdown over time to increased not decreased numbers of errors. I have gone and purchased parallels desktop 6 and athe home version of dragon.
Now you are tempting me to not go through this huge hassle and just go for Dragon 2 Dictate. But for MP3 recording you also say that as second program Macspeech is required. Appreciate your input. No, I would definitely go for the Mac version rather than running parallels. Editing is not really a problem at all. I was having some issues and I sent a message to the support team and I they got back to me rather quickly telling me to delete some preference files which I did and it fixed everything up, and they got back to me within 24 hours.
To me, the worst problem is that sometimes Dragon dictate loses audio after the computer sleeps and wakes up. But having to boot Windows every time you wanted to run Mac speech would be a far bigger hassle then that. There is no doubt that the current Dragon dictate is behind the PC version, maybe five or 10 years, but the PC version was pretty darn good five or 10 years ago, and the Mac version will keep getting better — the upgrades so far have shown this.
I have only tried Dragon Dictate where you speak directly into the computer. I have been using Dragon for years. I have 10 and 11 is out. Have you tried Dragon with the Mac windows app and it did not work, or do you just not like the idea?
You could check out the dragon forums to see if people have been successful in doing it, I heard there were some problems with the audio quality but there may be a way round that.
As a Dragon Naturally Speaking User and long-time Windows user about to buy an Apple iMac for the first time, your article was invaluable — thank you. Does MacSpeech Dictate have those book extracts that get you up and running on a PC after a few hours? Yes it has the readings, probably about 20 minutes worth to get you going, then extras to improve accuracy. Oh — and I too want to know if Dragon which I already have will work in a Mac Windows partition, or whether MacSpeech which I would have to buy is my only option.
It would be a hassle to have to boot your computer into windows every time you wanted to use speech recognition. You would probably lose things like being able to dictate directly into all your applications, having hot keys to turn the microphone on and off and so on. I write reports for a living and It works well. This seems to be getting better though.
It will be nice if it boots up straight away […]. Dragon Dictate 2 is now available for download. Bummer, the program remains fatally crippled. Reading above, in the new Dragon for Mac Could you elaborate a bit, please? Well, if you use the built in text editor, it works fine to do both. This works fine. So it seems to me that the problem lies if you edit manually and then try to select with speech. Why is the Mac version so much more expensive? Name required. Mail will not be published required.
