[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1577606, member: 131855"] I started using Dictate 4 a about two weeks ago but haven't used it extensively. It seems to bet better than version 3. At least for me anyway. I would be using it more than I do but when my wife and I are in the same room my talking to the computer constantly drives her nuts. Just a guess at the moment but I am probably getting somewhere around 95% accuracy. May be able to do a more specific test in a day or two. If you decide to try it there are a few things to keep in mind: 1.It world better with a decent headset/earpiece type mic. I'm using my Mac's built in mic at the moment but experience suggests that while adequate its less than an optimal situation. 2. When speaking don't wait for a word to appear on screen. Accuracy is better when the program can use the context provided by phrases and sentences to help it figure out what you are saying. 3. Unless you are doing a lot of writing from a template filled with boilerplate the option to let the program analyze some of your writings while developing the profile may help it get better accuracy. You might find [URL="https://www.yahoo.com/tech/hello-computer-speak-your-text-with-dragon-dictate-80097045492.html"]this review [/URL]helpful. It actually shows the program in action. [/QUOTE]
