Typing up long documents frustrates you — your fingers can't possibly type as fast as the thoughts forming in your mind — and when you do try to pick up the speed, you end up filling the page with spelling errors and typos. It doesn't help that you have to sit at a desk, hunched over a keyboard. Within minutes your back is aching, your wrists are sore and you can feel the onset of a mild headache due to the brightness of your monitor. Typing is a necessary part of your life — both personally and professionally — but thanks to Dragon Dictate you don't need to type things out manually in order to have them written out on your screen. This speech-recognition software allows you to convert your spoken words into text and use voice-powered commands to control your Mac, so the speed and ease with which you complete tasks increases. Simply begin by speaking words into the included Plantronics Calisto Bluetooth wireless headset and watch as they appear on your screen. With up to 99% recognition accuracy, Dragon Dictate makes sure your words are precisely captured.
Dragon Dictate for Mac can be used with virtually any Mac application, so you can create and edit documents in Microsoft Word, Text Edit, Notepad and Pages, manage spreadsheets in Microsoft Excel and Numbers, make presentations in Microsoft PowerPoint and Keynote, navigate your e-mail in Mail and much, much more.
