Dictation programs, which let you control your computer and type using only your voice, aren't for everyone. But those who use them for productivity, or to write dialogue more naturally, or for accessibility reasons, will likely turn to Nuance Communication's Dragon brand of software, the leader in this category. In sampling speech recognition and voice command software, I've had overwhelmingly positive experiences with Dragon products, and the same can be said for. For Windows impressed me like none other, and scooped our Best Buy award. I've also been extremely pleased with the smartphone apps Dragon Go! For search and other web functions, as well as for transcribing when I am not in the mood to deal with Siri.

I've been using Dragon Naturally Speaking on the PC for years but hesitated buying the Mac version because of various poor online reviews. Finally I've taken the plunge and bought Dragon Dictate 4, and this review is written after completing two of the training exercises and using the software for around an hour.
Having set high expectations for Dragon Dictate for Mac 3, I can't say that it hits quite the same high point as the Windows' version of the product, although it is still very good at what it does and is worthy of a Best Buy accolade. Version 3 shows improvement in speed and flexibility, but it's still a very different product from the Windows version, Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
The two are as different as their names. Dragon for Mac is a little more rigid than the highly flexible and intuitive NaturallySpeaking Premium. I was also surprised to find the Mac app's interface looks radically different to that of its Windows counterpart.
In terms of core functionality, however, the two programs are similar. With both Dragon Dictate for Mac and NaturallySpeaking, you can control many applications and functions on your computer using just your voice, as well as dictate speech-to-text in word processing, note taking, and email applications. You can also dictate to Dragon's own notepad app, which comes with the software, although I found Dragon responded much more quickly and with less lag when used in Mac's own TextEdit program.
