Thanks Kyle for your reply. Are you going to get the Dictate iPhone App when it is released?
"The via Dictate app allows the iPhone to be used as a remote extension of MacSpeech Dictate, when MacSpeech Dictate is running on a Macintosh. The via Dictate app is intended for distribution at no additional cost, plus requires Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and a launched MacSpeech Dictate running on a machine accessible by via Dictate. MacSpeech Dictate is the only desktop speech recognition solution for the Macintosh. MacSpeech Dictate provides unprecedented speech recognition accuracy with minimal training and works with existing Mac applications. MacSpeech Dictate delivers a true Mac user experience, and conforms to behaviours already familiar to Macintosh users worldwide. Beyond dictation, MacSpeech Dictate lets people perform basic navigation of their Mac and control it with their voice to launch applications, open new windows, execute menu commands, etc." Kind Regards, Ronni On 31/05/2010, at 4:53 PM, Kyle Kreusch wrote: > Hi Ronni and all > > > Not anymore ;-) > David Pogue doesn't use Dragon anymore. > What he uses is MacSpeech Dictate and he wrote that he has been using it for > quite some time now. > So if David Pogue uses it, others should definitely give it a try, too. > > Now you mention it I do remember him posting that on twitter I'm pretty sure > he switched around the same time i did shortly after their 1.5 controversial > paid upgrade because that's when they added the features that he uses a lot > like the in-line dictation editor. > > > The current version is MacSpeech Dictate version 1.5.5 > > Yes and it's much improved on earlier versions. > > > Kyle, Have you tried MacSpeech Scribe? > > No.. > > If so, how does MacSpeech Dictate $289 compare to MacSpeech Scribe $199? > Both seem to do much the same, but obviously MacSpeech Dictate must do more, > or better > > And there's a very good reason MacSpeech Scribe is not a dictation > application It's designed to work with pre-recorded dictation audio OR audio > recorded on a digital recorder.
