There was a fair amount of panic in the Mac community last year when Dragon announced that it was dropping its Mac dictation software. People have been trying to turn to other sources to replace this excellent program. Just a quick search on Internet for Mac dictation will show lots of people talking about how Mac dictate/voice control is not as quick or as accurate as Dragon. I would certainly concur with this. Whilst Mac dictate/voice control is useful it is not yet at the level that Dragon dictate was. Part of the problem appears to be that it appears to be operating through Siri and therefore requires an Internet connection sending the dictation to Apple for processing. I don't know about anybody else but I find that there can be quite a lag with this which really slows down the dictation and workflow. The beauty of Dragon especially the older versions was that it was software driven and all processing and learning was done on board your computer which really speeded thin...
