In dictating, every utterance appeared before my eyes with only a little lag, and version 3 seems a little more responsive than the previous Dragon for Mac apps. If you pause or slow down between clauses, you might find a more natural rhythm to dictating, and you'll see better results with Dragon, too.
I tested the software using both a USB headset microphone—and you need a microphone to use Dragon. When you set up the software, the dialog boxes tell you multiple times that you'll get the best results with a microphone, and it's no joke. Using a USB microphone, Dragon nailed nearly every word I said, even with a good deal of ambient noise, including a jackhammer pounding away at the sidewalk outside my window. A good one is included with the shrink-wrapped software, but if you buy the digital download, you'll have to buy a mic separately.
Good to know: Apple's OS already comes with voice-control features of this kind called Speech Recognition that's pretty powerful. If you're looking at Dragon Dictate for the controls rather than dictation, I recommend first learning what Mac OS can do. (Hey, you've already paid for it.) It's very possible you'll realize you don't need Dragon. Dragon's may be more rigorous, although you'll have to surmount a modest learning curve first.
Requirements
Dragon Dictate for Mac 3 requires an Intel-based Macintosh running Apple OS X 10.7 Lion or OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, as well as 4GB free hard disk space and a recommended 2GB RAM. You'll also need an Internet connection to register the product, and a DVD-ROM drive to install it if you buy the shrink-wrapped version.Dragon Dictate Mac 3 Download Windows 7
As mentioned, you do need a microphone (which is included with the $199 boxed product). If you buy the digital download version of Dragon for Mac (also $199), plan to invest $20 to $30 for a simple USB headset with mic because, without it, you're wasting your money on Dragon. Alternatively, you can try this neat little trick with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch (fourth generation): Download the Dragon Remote Microphone app (free) to use your phone's mic, or the mic attached to the earbuds, to dictate to Dragon via WiFi.
Speak to Your Mac
Dragon Dictate 3 for Mac has the potential to transform your productivity if you write often, but only if you're willing to invest some time to learn the system and train the software. The learning curve isn't too bad, but you should not expect to be a pro with Dragon on day one. The $199 baseline price keeps Dragon Dictate for Mac from being an impulse buy—as it should—but if you've been seeking a product for voice commands and real-time transcription, Dragon can be a worthy investment. For educators and students (a discounted Student/Teacher edition is only $129.99), writers, professional speakers, anyone with mobility or vision issues, and so many others, Dragon offers a multitude of uses. There are even specialized (and expensive, at $599) versions of Dragon products for professionals in the medical and legal fields.If a compelling use case for your work doesn't jump to mind, perhaps Dragon Dictate is not a tool you need. For basic voice controls, you can always use Apple's own Speech Recognition, which is included in the Mac operating system at no additional cost. It's really the advanced dictation that makes Dragon Dictate worthwhile, as its name perhaps suggests.
