Thinking of Voice Recognition on the Mac? Have a look at the Demo videos from Nuance

With the recent release of Dragon Dictate version 3 for Mac from the people at Nuance many are keen to try this technology. Typically held back by the "i'm not sure I would use it" little voice in your head or by a bad experience of two with Siri, voice recognition on your Mac is a whole different ball game. Why?

Well first of all it's running on your Mac. You super powerful (compared to your iOS device) computer, with plenty of ram for all that complex voice to text conversion. Powerful enough to process your spoken words on your machine instead of recording and sending your audio off to a remote server for processing which is how Siri works.

Not only that but by keeping your spoken dictation local you build on your personal voice profile, Dragon will learn from what you actually say. The more you use it the more accurate it becomes for your style of dictation and the words you commonly use.

But me telling you all this is great but you really need to see Dragon Dictate 3 in action. The lovely crowd over at Nuance have created a few "how to" and demo videos of Dragon Dictate 3 in action. I have accumulated all of them into one blog post and I describe what you are viewing in layman's terms so that you can understand exactly what you can achieve with speech recognition software on the Mac.
