At that time, there wasn’t much available online confirming or denying the ability to run Dragon NaturallySpeaking inside of a virtual machine.

In this case, I’m running Windows on a Macintosh computer. Virtualization technology allows you to run one operating system inside of another.

Running NaturallySpeaking and Microsoft Word on Mac OS 10.10 with VMWare Fusion editing this blog Using Dragon in a virtual machine Installing Windows in VMWare Fusion The next step was to see if running a virtual machine was an option. I really love Dragon NaturallySpeaking for Windows and I wanted a similar experience on the Mac. Again, not near the experience available on Windows. So, if you have a word like Homoto, JIRA, or Radigan the built-in dictation always gets it incorrect and it doesn’t learn over time. The problem is, it doesn’t learn new words or your voice. OS X 10.9, Mavericks, has voice dictation built-in to the operating system. To say I was disappointed was an understatement.

I still find though, the Windows software is much better. Using Dragon Dictate with Microsoft Word makes things significantly better, as Microsoft Word exposes more of the document to Dragon Dictate. In other words, it’s like typing with a blindfold on. Dragon Dictate doesn’t know where the cursor is in relation to the text anymore if you touch the cursor. Any edits a human makes outside of the software causes the experience to go haywire. On the Mac version, it has to keep track of all of the text and edits manually. On Windows, Dragon NaturallySpeaking can easily see and modify all of the text inside of a window. In reading online, it appears the Mac platform isn’t near as flexible as the Windows platform for voice dictation. Actually, I’m surprised Nuance even sells it, given how poor the user experiences as well as the number of bugs. Unfortunately, the Mac version of Dragon Dictate leaves a lot to be desired. After a couple of months working with Dragon NaturallySpeaking on Windows, I decided to give the Mac version a try. Voice dictation has transformed my experience blogging making it easier to get my thoughts down on paper and as a result, I believe my voice sounds much more natural. The software is surprisingly accurate, learns new words, and the correction experience is wonderfully simple. Dragon NaturallySpeaking for Windows 13ĭragon NaturallySpeaking 13 for Windows is truly awesome. The effectiveness of voice dictation on the iPhone encouraged me to look for options on my desktop computer. 95% of the text entry on my phone is now done via voice.
It was easier to text, email, and communicate with others not having to use the small keyboard. Once Siri premiered on the iPhone, voice dictation transformed my use of the device. Not being the best typer, I was relegated to keyboarding for another 10 years.
My first experience with Dragon Dictate included a massive amount of floppy disks, a bad microphone, and a very poor experience. Ever since voice dictation became within reach to consumer in the late 1990s, I’ve always been intrigued with the technology.
