Dragon

Dragon (formerly known as Dragon Dictate) is a super handy voice recognition app for macOS. It lets you dictate text, control your Mac with voice commands, and even transcribe audio files into text documents. Pretty cool, right?

Powerful Speech Recognition Engine

This software comes with a powerful speech recognition engine that makes your Mac smarter by understanding what you're saying. It's like having a personal assistant who listens to you all the time!

Voice Control Made Easy

The magic happens through macOS's built-in Accessibility features and AppleScript integration in most Mac apps. This means you can control everything just by talking to your computer! Plus, Dragon has an extensive vocabulary that helps you express yourself better.

Getting Started with Dragon

If you want to get the best out of Dragon, make sure you're using a Nuance-approved noise-canceling headset microphone. It’s included with every purchase! If you prefer wireless, a Bluetooth mic works too.

Training Your Dragon

To get Dragon up and running on your Mac, you'll need to help it learn how you speak by providing a voice sample. This way, it can pick up on your unique voice inflections and improve its understanding of your pronunciation. Plus, you'll end up speaking clearer too!

Custom Vocabulary Options

Once you've completed the training process, you'll be able to add new words and phrases to Dragon's vocabulary manually. This makes it easier for the software to figure out what you're saying—talk about customization!

Dictation Made Simple

After setting everything up, using Dragon is super simple! Just place the cursor in any word processor document and start talking; it'll type everything out for you automatically.

Easily Transcribe Audio Content

You can also use Dragon to quickly turn audio notes from your smartphone into text documents—no need for a secretary or assistant anymore!

Control Your Apps with Voice Commands

A standout feature of Dragon is its ability to let you control macOS apps using just your voice. It's really convenient when you have your hands full.

A Boost in Productivity

All in all, Dragon is an amazing tool that boosts productivity for both business folks and home users alike. Whether you're dictating documents or controlling apps, it's designed to make life easier!
