Voice Recognition Software for Mac - Dragon Dictate 3 - Now Transcribes From Recorded Audio Files

After years of waiting, this key feature, voice recognition from your recorded audio, will now be available on the Mac with the release of Dragon Dictate 3 from Nuance.

This feature has been available for a very long time in the Windows world with the Premium and Professional versions of Dragon NaturallySpeaking being able to transcribe from an audio recording of your speech made on a digital voice recorder or dictaphone. Indeed many doctors and lawyers make use of Dragon for fast turnaround of transcription rather than burden a secretary.

Announced as one of the key improvements in Dragon Dictate for the Mac along with faster and more accurate transcription in a recent press release from the Nuance US headquarters.

Dragon Dictate 3 for Mac will be Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) compatible and will be able to transcribe .MP3, .WAV, .M4A, .M4V, .MP4, .AIF and .AIFF audio recorder on a digital voice recorder or digital dictaphone. Dragon Dictate 3 will also transcribe audio recorded on Nuance's own Dragon Voice Recorder app.

For more details on this new release and for information on how to get Dragon Dictate 3 to transcribe your .dss or .ds2 digital audio files head to our main blog by clicking here.

Dragon Dictate 3 for Mac - Nuance Announce Faster, More Accurate Voice Recognition

Finally, the day I and many of my customers have waited a couple of years for - the announcement of the release of Dragon Dictate for Mac version 3 (currently at version 2.5). Why have we waited so long for this particular release of Dragon?

TRANSCRIPTION FROM RECORDED AUDIO !!

That's why there are squeals of excitement coming from the Dictate Australia office. If I had a dollar for every person I have spoken to over the last couple of years about transcription from recorded audio for Dragon on Mac I would have a couple of hundred dollars at least. So for all of you who have called, emailed and followed my blog waiting for it - here its is.

Audio recorded on digital voice recorders and of course the Dragon Recorder app can be transcribed by Dragon Dictate 3 along with directly spoken voice.

Head to our main blog for details on the supported audio formats, the full Nuance Press release and a whats new in Dragon Dictate 3 video for your visual viewing pleasure.

Not to overshadow all the over great bits that Nuance have crammed into Dictate 3 for Mac, like every Dragon release it is faster and more accurate than previous versions.
