 Rating:  - Pay for supprt? No wayI upgraded to the free downloadable iListen 1.8 a few weeks ago (per the company's recommendation), which I needed to upgrade to this new product. (Haven't purchased it yet.) I needed to use iListen today, but I need an activation code for 1.8. I don't believe I ever received it. No problem, right? Just remove 1.8, and reinstall 1.7 and go to work. In order to do this, I have to reregister. Now, however, their registration process says my 1.7 activation code is out of date! ...

Several weeks ago, however, I injured my right wrist enough to require an ace bandage and a splint--there goes the typing. My profession requires me to crank out many original documents, so I started searching for a dictation program. A recent Mac convert, Dragon Naturally Speaking was not on my buying list. But, I needed to do something. So, I read the reviews of this product, and almost decided to pass because ...

Earlier today, this program did not seem to recognize any words properly -- and without the ability to learn from spoken corrections, cannot improve its functioning even though I have performed all of the trainings. Other days, the accuracy seems to be remarkable -- as good as Dragon Windows. As I am dictating this now, the accuracy seems excellent. The authors state that corrections will be coming with a future ... Read More Rating: - Mac SpeechI was using "Dragon Naturally Speaking" on my Windows programs and loved it. After a short training period I was dictating with at least 95% accuracy. I recently switched to a Mac computer and choose Mac Speech because it was by "Nuance" which I thought was the same company that produced "Dragon". I have found out that this is not the same company and the program does not work nearly as well as Dragon. I have spent lots of time with training it and still get loads of errors. I would prefer Dragon over ... Read More Rating:  - Pay No Attention to the Negative ReviewsPay no attention to the negative reviews that have been posted regarding MacSpeech. While no voice recognition software will function perfectly, MacSpeech is the closest I have seen to voice recognition perfection in over ten years -- beginning with IBM's pioneering VIA Voice in the mid 90's. Regarding MacSpeech's customer support shortcomings, again, pay no attention to the negative comments regarding it. My call was answered immediately, and a solution to my problem (dragging the wrong icon during the initial ... Read More |
