<p class="MsoNormal">Dragon Dictate for Mac is DOA and has been for a number of years. There are two things that work on the Mac from Nuance: <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. Using a MacBook or a big Mac, one can use a partitioned HD and run the DNS on the Windows partition (problem is having to cut and paste the dictation makes it time-consuming and awkward).<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. Using Dragon Anywhere subscription with a portable recorder, one can dictate directly to Macs. Difficulties exist around bluetooth connections, ability to manipulate, edit, and correct text. Cannot use it hands-free.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since Nuance has recently been bought out by Microsoft, it is unlikely the Mac product line will be revived or supported.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is news, though, that Apple has developed their own more sophisticated (more than the current dictation app allows) speech to text program. called Dictation. It costs about $35 for the pro version (no ads) and there's a $20/year subscription
required. It does NOT require the internet to use (as with Dragon Anywhere), and it will sync across your various i-Devices.<o:p></o:p></p>
