HI warriors,
Im interested in a speech recognition software. Mainly, it will allow me to create articles a whole lot quicker. One gentleman on the forum said he produced about 28 articles in two days, which is pretty impressive.

For those who have some experience with this. what do you think is better.

Dragon dictation
OR
Mac Speech Dictate

    I've never used mac speech. I have Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 preferred and I'm a big fan.

    There are a lot of threads on the forum about this already though so you might want to search for those and you'll see a lot of opinions.

    Zeze:

    MacSpeech uses the Dragon Naturally Speaking engine so if you're running on a Mac Platform and not using VMWare/Parallels/BootCamp, it's your only option - unless you're interested in their new Scribe software (which will do dictation from audio files like the notes you make on the iPhone Memo Recorder.)

    I got to preview their Via Dictate app for the iPhone. Activate the App on your iPhone and it connects via Bonjour to your Mac's copy of Dictate.

    It's gonna be sweet (and free).

      Really? Cool. I've been using Dictate on the Mac for awhile.

    Yeah - they're still in beta mode. Not opened to us outsiders unfortunately.

    I also got to check out MacSpeech Scribe. Cool but limited. It doesn't transcribe everything (say for instance, a movie). It's "trained" for a particular voice and transcribes that voice....

    So say for instance, you're driving and using Voice Memos for this amazing idea - whether product, sales letter, bullet points or heck - even shopping lists, you simply upload the audio file into Scribe and it transcribes it for you.

    However cool that is, you can simply play your audio recording into your Microphone (headset or Mac) and use Dictate to transcribe it without the added expense of Scribe.

    Depends on your work habits I suppose - and time constraints.
