Features:   Excellent

MacSpeech Dictate isn’t a part of an existing product but is built specifically for the Mac platform and leverages that interface very well. The software comes complete with extensive commands for all of the preinstalled Mac products such as iPhoto, iMovie, Safari and Mail, to name just a few and you can use the voice recognition software with any program on your Mac. The existing commands can be modified or new ones created to suit individual users’ needs.

Commands:   Excellent

MacSpeech Dictate voice recognition software is comprised of four modes: Command, Dictate, Spelling and Sleep. Each mode is seamlessly integrated and all work together smoothly. Command mode is used when you only want to control your Mac by voice. Obviously, Dictate mode is where the user speaks and the software commits words to “paper”. Spelling mode allows the user to spell out words, a particularly useful feature when using potentially hard-to-understand terms, names or words in other languages. It’s also the best way to browse the Internet via voice. Sleep mode keeps the microphone on but the software ignores everything except a command to resume listening.
