This is a bigger change than you might think, as it used to demand you buy a Dragon mic to make the software work at all.
Dragon is happy to type in any app and Dragon offers the same accuracy in all of them.Ī small menu appears at top right of your screen (above) and a dialogue with a red Mic logo on it – click that and it goes green, and you’re in business.
Dragon software for mac review serial number#
But you have to admit, being able to chat at your Mac and have it type out what you’re saying has its attractions – plenty of people have never really got to grips with typing but that doesn’t mean their thoughts shouldn’t be turned into editable text.ĭragon does more than that – it also enables spoken commands (a la Apple’s built-in VoiceOver)Īfter installing, the latest Dragon Dictate (which just had an incremental update to add El Capitan compatibility) asks permission to access Accessibility in System Preferences so it can use the built-in mic, and then a short welcome screen takes you through a few other steps: it asks you to put in your serial number (or go for the 14-day free trial), then to register with name and email address, and then you get the option to set which microphone you’re using, in case you have something better than the Mac’s internal mic, and some text to speak with so Dragon can evaluate your speech and your audio environment.Īlso, this new version no longer needs you to enter text into the Note Pad within the application. This quite venerable, by now, dictation software has reached a new high, but a lot of this territory has been since covered by Siri and even the straight dictation software in Mac OS.
