Nuance, the makers of Dragon Dictate for Mac, claim that this is up to 5 times faster than typing the text yourself.

Typing can often impede your thought process so with Dragon Dictate you can just sit back, relax and just speak what you’re thinking. So what are the advantages of using voice recognition technology to write? Obviously the speed of transcription is way faster than if you were to type yourself. As I said, anyway you can type then you can dictate and Dragon will do the typing for you. You can also use Dragon to write text in your favourite chat application, write e-mails or dictate a blog post directly in WordPress or using an application like Mars edit. Not only can you create documents in text edit but also pages, Microsoft Word, Google Docs or any word processing application. As you can see Dragon Dictate is very fast and very accurate.

Dragon Dictate however will work with any text editing software, in fact Dragon Dictate will convert voice to text in any window that you can type in. For this example I’m using text edit on my Mac.

Voice recognition, as I mention in the video, is said to be upto five times faster than typing yourself. Simply sit back, relax and talk using Dragon – yes there will be mistakes (there is one in the video, did you spot it?) but the key point is you can get your thoughts out without being interrupted or slowed down with your typing speed. Perfect for those of you just want to speak your thoughts, maybe writing a blog post, your first novel or a story for publication if you are a journalist. In the following quick video I wanted to just show you Dragon as it is most commonly used, simply to type as you talk. Nuance the makers of NaturallySpeaking also have a Mac offering in the form of Dragon Dictate which shares the same voice recognition engine known as Dragon.
