Talker Rather Than a Typer? Check Out Dragon Dictate For Your Mac

Eating lunch at my desk can be a bit of a pain. Ideally I would like to type as well as eat my food at the same time, however instead I get an important email whilst eating a scrumptious sugary donut, what do I do – leave my donut aside to reply to the email or ignore it? I would like to say I that I would put my donut to away, wash my hands to respond but the world of sticky donuts takes over me.

Well, it looks like this office dilemma could be resolved. All you need is your trusty Mac and this rather fantastic speech recognition called Dragon Dictate. Dragon Dictate for Mac 2.5 allows users to enter text and control their Mac by voice instead of using a keyboard and mouse. Tell your Mac what to do and it obeys your commands!

Now I can see myself making use of this whilst having a sticky moment with my lunchtime pudding, however Dragon Dictate might be put to use in more serious circumstances. Watch the video below as it is shows you the ingenious way Dragon Dictate can be used, leaving your hands free, when literally you have no other option!

Love what you see? Well take a look at some of the features we love about Dragon Dictate and the great thing is, is if your not a Mac user then this is also available as a PC version too for £143.99.

Talk and Text

It has been suggested that Dragon Dictate work three times faster than typing and you can even customise Dragon Dictate for Mac with your own personal vocabulary and formatting preferences.

Talk and Move

If you have an idea but need to get it down quick without worrying about typos and mistakes then Dragon keeps up with users' minds, instantly transforming ideas into text - with no typos. Also, if you thought you have to be firmly sat at your Mac to use the software then think again as you can stand up, pace and cross the room as you can use your approved wireless headset to dictate whilst moving.

Alternatively you can choose the new Dragon Remote Microphone application which converts your iPhone or iPod touch into a wireless microphone via WiFi.

Talk and Multi-Task

Tell your Mac what to do, like "Reply to this message" or "Open Microsoft Word" or "Jump to Googleâ„¢" to work faster and smarter.  Create voice commands that automate complex workflows on your Mac
