It always helps me get a draft of a piece of fiction out quickly. If you have a MAC be aware that all the reviews about Dictation crashing in Word are TRUE. I dictation initially in RTF and it works like a dream. But when I turn the doc into a Word doc so I can have better formatting, etc. and I go to edit w/Dictate, it crashes a lot. It's reached the point that I save at every change which is kind of nuts. So I should just put the doc back into RTF if i want to edit w/dictation. I don't use it for emailing, social media, paper grading, but know people who do and say that it is very fast. I'm a little skittish because of the instability of Dragon outside of an RTF environment on a MAC. If you have a PC, you are all set. Still, despite the drawbacks, dictating is an incredible way to let your mind run free and to really produce work that I, at least, feel might never have been written if I hadn't been able to "talk" it. So, with a slight amount of care, it will work great for you. Review: Great w/internal mic on Macbook Pro - This has been working great for my Macbook Pro. It seems to work best when I use the internal mic rather than a wireless headset. I highly recommend going through the tutorial a couple of times and you'll know how to do most things, i.e. quotation marks, capitalizing, etc. I use it back and forth with typing.You definitely need to keep an eye on it to be sure it is typing out everything the way you want it to, i.e. sense vs since, Jesus' vs Jesus is. It seems to work best for my sermon preparation so that I can ensure what is being written sounds okay spoken before writing it. It is great for pulling a quote from a book so you don't have to keep going back to it and copying. Also, it is better to speak in long sentences to it if you can because it seems to use the words that make more sense in the context of other words (e.g. if you used "sense"). ## Features - Brand New in box. The product ships with all relevant accessories ## Images ![Dragon for MAC 5.0, US ENGLISH (Discontinued) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51UyKkn2s1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I write material I wouldn't ever produce if I were typing! *by K***K on July 14, 2016* I love dictating.

Nuance agrees -- actually, their rep informed me of this, before passing me on to an entity call Digital River, promising me a substantial discount from that outfit on version 6. However, Digital River had not heard of this, and had no intention of offering any such discount. So version 6 will probably work until High Sierra -- is there a pattern here? Perhaps it should be clearly stated that the <$50 Dragon for Mac offerings will not work on current Apple OS iterations. So it's $300/year, much as a subscription, but without the candor. While not exactly brimming with ethical elegance, this is not, I suppose, criminal behavior. Though what is perplexing is that I've had a copy of Dragon Naturally Speaking 12 for over six years on a Win 7 laptop, and it actually keeps getting better. So I suppose there's a robbing the rich to pay the poor theme, though I'm no longer sure if Apple owners are actually wealthier anymore. At any rate, this option will probably appeal only to the lower 99% anyway -- a fast-fading market (note Apple's slippage). Meantime: Gnucash, Office Libre, where are you!
