Comments on: How to get Dragon NaturallySpeaking to dictate into OS x applications http://thewaronbullshit.com/2008/01/11/dragon_in_osx/ Take No Prisoners Wed, 20 Aug 2008 02:57:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: Kavan Wolfe http://thewaronbullshit.com/2008/01/11/dragon_in_osx/#comment-1913 Kavan Wolfe Thu, 12 Jun 2008 07:28:29 +0000 http://thewaronbullshit.com/2008/01/11/dragon_in_osx/#comment-1913 @Dave, I haven't run into any problems, but I haven't tried much of the OS control stuff. Lately I've been using Dictate. It's essentially an alpha release that they called a full release and sold. The people at MacSpeech should be ashamed of themselves. @Dave, I haven’t run into any problems, but I haven’t tried much of the OS control stuff. Lately I’ve been using Dictate.

Have you explored any of the Mac command control elements to such a work around (ie. use the DNS to control the mac environment like open aps, navigate pages etc)? Cheers for your insights here, Dave Kavan

However, soon you will be able to use Dragon "off the peg" directly on the Mac. MacSpeech are dumping ilisten and have a new product that uses the Dragon voice recognition engine they have somehow obtained from Nuance. Here is the URL > http://www.macspeech.com/pages.php?pID=53&osCsid=a9d639ddf7dfdc0b358589df81897dbd BTW I have used Dragon Naturally Speaking on my MacPro using Parallels. I read about using a VNC to directly use this in OSX apps, but never tried it. ps found your blot because I was reading a book on Service Oriented Architecture by Marks and Bell. It sounded like bullshit. So I googled Service Oriented Architecture bullshit and went straight to your blog. I am a MD so I look forward to reading some of your health reflections. I am now engaged in trying to guide a 100 bed hospital in whether to ditch their heritage system (Meditech) or to try to add a kindly front-end to make it seem useful. Given I have no background in IT and am a busy physician I am not sure I am equal to the task! But distinguishing pearls from bullshit in a subject area that is not your own is a process well worth reflecting upon. I can easily identify bullshit in medicine - but IT....
