You read into the computer for about 5 to 10 minutes and it learns from your voice. The built-in training of Mac speech dictate is excellent. Then if you decide you want to go hand-free, get a SAMSON QV headset and go wireless! My suggestion would be to buy the basic Macspeech dictate with the built in microphone and get used to using it. Note that you have to re-train the software if you change microphones. The accuracy with the SAMSON microphone is incredible. I can now dictate as I walk around the room using my wireless headset. I can walk around the room, tilt my head, looked different directions, and the microphone stays consistently the same distance from my mouth, resulting in excellent recognition. The advantage is that each time I clip it onto my head the microphone is exactly the same distance from my mouth. Now I use a headset microphone – a Samson airline QV. If I spoke a bit further away the accuracy would drop. But it became a bit unusable in that I had to hold my hand up to my mouth all the time and keep my head exactly the right distance from it. I have tried various microphones, headset, handheld, and while there is some small difference between the microphones, is more important that whatever the microphone you have, you use it consistently.īy consistently I mean speak with the same tone of voice, speak exactly the same distance from the microphone each time you use the software, and speak using the same volume.įor while I was using a handheld wireless SM58 to dictate into the computer and I found that when I used it properly, keeping it about 10 mm from my mouth, this achieved the greatest accuracy of any of the microphones I have used. The software itself is fairly simple to use and it takes you through all the necessary setup, but I found one of the most important things in achieving good recognition was to have a consistent microphone setup. I have previously reviewed MacSpeech Dictate but here are some tips on how to use it well.
