For some reason they abandoned it, and now they license Dragon. They now own not only the only product that you can purchase, but they also own all of the relevant patents, so there will be no new competitors (though there might be other products that license Dragon's technology).Īpple had it's own dictation/transcription product decades ago.
Nuance/Dragon bought up and discontinued all of their competition years ago.
There in only one dictation/transcription engine to speak of: Dragon. I'm pretty sure that we had at least one discussion about all this previously on this list. Actually mind-boggling at times how it comes up with some words it thinks I said, and well beyond funny or humorous, just absolutely crazy.

Yes, I also use a fair bit of copy and paste or option-drag from the Chrome browser windows to other places where the Google Chrome engine extension does not work.Īpple's built-in dictation is quite pathetic and frustrating to use by comparison.
BEST DICTATION FOR MAC OS 2017 PLUS
PS: I use both the paid-for Google Chrome extensions Dictanote (in it's own Chrome browser window) and Voice In Voice Typing and its assistant Voice In Plus (in any Chrome browser window). Meanwhile, my thanks to Google for their Google dictation engine that works so amazingly well and small reasonable expenditure. I wonder if that is what Apple ended up purchasing their license for?Īnyway, definitely nothing to get excited about, unfortunately, especially under those conditions. By comparison, the dictation based on the Google Chrome engine works amazingly well but unfortunately only works with Google Chrome and similar Google applications, but works amazingly well even in Mac OS Mavericks 10.9.5.ĭragon Dictate for the Macintosh was abandoned just before I was really needing a dictation application and I was almost considering looking for an eBay version until I read that the more recent versions of Dragon Dictate for the Macintosh we're becoming almost unusable. It hasn't improved much since its introduction with Mac OS Mavericks 10.9.5. How horrendously pathetic and Apple should be thoroughly embarrassed over their lack of dictation improvements over the years. I hope these suggestions will help your situation.

I wish Apple would get busy improving their dictation software and include older Mac OS versions but I know that's never going to happen. I see that some places still sell Dragon Dictate for the Mac, but I sure didn't feel like spending $300 usd for a discontinued and unsupported software. One has to search out that feature to get that price. I also have added Voice In Voice Plus which provides some additional features that I believe cost $25 us for Lifetime use and upgrades.
Short of a fudge workaround but it does work and certainly can save one's hands and any other injured body parts, and is certainly more accurate than Apple's dictation. The Google Chrome extension that works very well for me is Voice in Voice Typing, but I also use its Developer's Dictanote software Dictanote - Make your voice type for you which you can use with a browser to type into and then copy and paste into any application. What I have found that works quite well for good accurate dictation are some extensions and applications but they only work in Google Chrome type software. I prefer to use Mavericks, 10.9.5 which has the original Mac OS dictation which has a lot to be desired, and I haven't noticed any huge Improvement in later macOS versions when I have had a chance to use it. I am in a similar situation to you as a result of psoriasis rheumatic arthritis and gout in my hands and Dragon Dictate for the Mac went kaput when my condition became serious, so I don't even have it to use.
