With keyboard dictation, you can dictate text anywhere you can type it, and the feature improves the more you use it, personalizing over time. On Apple Silicon Macs, keyboard dictation now protects user privacy by performing all processing on-device, meaning it's completely offline. And thanks to on-device dictation, users can also dictate text of any length without a timeout. On Intel Macs, however, there's a time limit of 60 seconds. Only Available in Arabic (Saudi Arabia),...

And thanks to on-device dictation, users can also dictate text of any length without a timeout. On Intel Macs, however, there's a time limit of 60 seconds. Only Available in Arabic (Saudi Arabia), Cantonese (Hong Kong), English (Australia, Canada, India, Singapore, UK, U.S.), French (France), German (Germany), Italian (Italy), Japanese (Japan), Korean (Korea), Mandarin Chinese (China mainland, Taiwan), Russian (Russia), Spanish (Mexico, Spain, U.S.), Turkish (Turkey), and Yue Chinese (China mainland). Apple has unlimited financial resources, the best programmers and unlimited voice training data from Siri. So the big question will be: will Apple's Dictation finally be better than Dragon?

I don't think there can be a single "better" voice recognition system, as the expectations of different users may differ a lot. Specifically, one can aim to please the vast majority of users, or a small but highly sophisticated minority. In the latter department, Dragon seems to be unchallenged for the time being.

See more I don't think there can be a single "better" voice recognition system, as the expectations of different users may differ a lot. Specifically, one can aim to please the vast majority of users, or a small but highly sophisticated minority. In the latter department, Dragon seems to be unchallenged for the time being. I already quoted here on the forums a text fragment I dictated to untrained Dragon almost 3 years ago, and it rendered it without a single error (note that it was not the medical version of Dragon): Capsaicin activates the nociceptors, causing a burning sensation, an erythema and an elevated sensitivity to other stimuli. Conversely, after multiple applications these receptors are desensitised and the transmission of pain signals is suppressed. The exact mechanism of desensitisation is unknown but is assumed to be mediated by enzymatic changes in sensory terminals at high concentrations of intracellular calcium. It also has to do with a disruption of retrograde transport of neurotrophic factors (such as NGF – Neuronal Growth Factor) as one of the mechanisms for reduction of hyper-excitability and premature depletion of nociceptive terminals in the epidermis. ▲ Collapse | | | Hans Lenting Holandia Członek ProZ.com od 2006 niemiecki > niderlandzki NOWY TEMAT

Would be interesting to see Apple's Dictation's score here. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Dragon alternative?
