<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I have a client scenario I wanted to run by you all for some help and ideas:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I am working with an individual who has difficulty typing and mousing and prefers to use dictation software. He prefers working on a Mac and has a Macbook Pro. He tried Mac built-in dictation and also Voice
Control but it does not seem to be working that well, especially in Microsoft Teams chat. Do you have any other ideas for dictation on a Mac? He has the latest Catalina OS so I am not sure if Dragon for Mac would work any better?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">He has used Dragon for Windows in the past, so the other idea we have been exploring is perhaps running Windows on his Mac so he can use Dragon. Or if that doesn’t work, he would probably need to switch back
to Windows.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Finally, the other issue he runs into is when he is on a Teams or Zoom meeting and needs to dictate in a chat or dictate notes, the software is picking up the other speakers in the meetings and dictating them.
I have suggested that he click the dictation mic off or say “go to sleep” when using Voice Control, but those options don’t seem to be working for him. Do you know if there is a way to prevent dictation software from picking up other speakers/computer audio?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thanks for your help and ideas!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
