Siri also only works for US English and you need to be online to use it although there is a way to dictate offline on a Mac including on Apple Silicon M1 and M2 Macs.

Siri is still mainly designed as a personal assistant to launch apps, answer questions and generally speed-up your workflow on a Mac rather than dictation although with macOS Big Sur and Catalina, Apple is moving Siri closer towards being a more professional dictation software. However, although Siri doesn’t do a bad job of transcribing text, using Siri to dictate on a Mac is nowhere near as accurate as professional dictation software. Since macOS Catalina including Big Sur and Monterey, you can dictate on a Mac using Siri. Dictating cuts down on scribbled notes on pieces of paper if you want to go paperless.It’s more confidential than dictating notes to a secretary or colleague.

It’s an especially good way for creative writers to get all their ideas down on paper without editing along the way.

There are many reasons to use dictation software on your Mac but some of the most important ones are: Text to speech is already in everything from Siri to Google Docs although professional dictation software like Dragon Dictate offer much greater accuracy as they actually learn how you talk. However, most people can speak up to 4000 words in the same time period – that equals a massive potential increase in your productivity especially if you’re having to tediously document business operations. The average person can type anything up to 1000 words in half an hour. Dictation Microphones To Enhance Recognitionĭictation software enables your Mac to translate spoken words into written text which enables you to write much more than typing alone.

If you have the right kind of accent and aren't suspicious of apps that mine your data then you should find Dragon Dictation a novel and easy-to-use way of taking notes on the fly. The app has now been updated to make this optional anyway. It claims the reason the data is taken is to aid recognition of the names in your contacts. The developer of Dragon Dictation said on a iTunes post: "we only upload names, not emails, phone numbers, or other personal details," insisting that they don't even know which of the names is the owner of the phone. This is mentioned in the EULA, but it may not be clear to all users. Luckily, Dragon Dictation has a text editing feature that lets you go back over your transcripts and correct them manually, but if it makes as many mistakes with you as it did with me you'll probably give up after a while.Īnother issue that many people have noted is the way Dragon Dictation takes users' phone contacts and uploads them to their server. I tried to talk very slowly and even attempted an American accent but to no avail. Perhaps this could be because of my regional British accent, because many reviewers on the App Store are praising the accuracy of Dragon Dictation. In reality, I have to question the accuracy of Dragon Dictation because it never recognized any of the phrases I said during my extensive tests (evidence of which you'll see in the garbled nonsense written in a couple of the screenshots).
