The mic will definitely be a factor. Years of using Dragin taught me that even 
subtle things are a huge factor. I imagine iPhone mics are better than most but 
getting a proper headset may help on a Mac.

Thanks,

Another +1 for the built in. I do a lot of writing each week on my Mac, and
once you get used to it, it's so so very helpful.
Worth having a go!

Very helpful. It seems that enhanced dictation is no longer available on
MacBooks. Dictation sort of works on my MBP, ‘sort of’ relates probably to
my ineptitude. From this article it seems as if iphone achieves better
dictation than MacBooks. I’m persevering.

Thank you for these very helpful answers. I had no idea that there was
in-built voice recognition on Macs. I shall now explore it.

Hi Virginia -
Extensive experience of voice recognition, because of the RSI in my hands.

I used to use Dragon on my Mac. It was, indeed brilliant, but they stopped
updating it for the Mac.

I now use the built in software on the Mac, which works extremely well. Just as
good as Dragon, and much cheaper.

The main difference is not being able easily to use voice control to operate
the computer. I used to be able to do things like switch between apps using my
voice, and that doesn’t seem to be possible now.

There is a Dragon App for iPhone. I used it for many years, and it was
brilliant. They started charging for it, so no longer use it. (And voice
recognition on the iPhone is really good, anyway).

Hi Smuggers. Has anybody experience of voice recognition software? My
brother says Dragon is the best but as he uses a PC I thought I should first
check with Mac users that Dragon is the best for my MacBookPro. Any
suggestions would be much appreciated. Virginia
