I would love to see Apple take over the engineering and improvement of the Dragon Speach technology and share in the profit from marketing the new version. I have been using a PC for 5 months now and can’t wait to get another Mac. There’s a good reason why a Mac costs more on average then the PC — it’s the same reason that a Mercedes costs more than a Volks Wagen — it’s better.

Hi Kori,
Pretty much the above article explains it. I’m sure the headset will be the best way to go.
You’ll need:
Macbook pro
Macspeech dictate.
Andrea pure audio usb audio interface (or a Griffin iMic would do a similar job)
6.5mm (female) to 3.5mm (male) mono adapter – radioshack
6.5mm short mono guitar lead
Samson QV headset microphone and receiver with power supply.
I’ll post a picture of the adapter setup on the post above.
You could buy all these in one go from http://www.knowbrainer.com including the adapter plugs, you’ll pay a bit more but get good help and service. Or else you can source all the parts from amazon and radioshack and do it yourself.

My son was recently in an explosion and does not want to put off going to college because of the accident. He has very limited use of his hands. Can you give a list of everything he will need to be successful. I am a little confused on all the pieces he will need to be up and running. He will be using a Mac Book Pro.

Thank you.

You’d need a real good noise cancelling headset – but worth a try! Let me know how it goes…

It’s not Samsung, It’s a SAMSON – a drummers/singers headset mic. Samson QV.

I’m interested in installing dictate onto my laptop and using it in my car! If I used the headset as you’ve described, would it work in that environment?

No it’s a separate program.

One thing is not clear to me: does macspeech dictate INCLUDE macspeech scribe or not??

Hi,
I am looking for a dicta phone that has the software to change voice to text on the computer.
I have a mac, and your article sounds like this software is impressive.
Do you know of anything to recommend?
I was looking into the Olympus, Vn 550 p c dns but that software is not compatible with mac’s.

Thanks,
Tim
