MacSpeech Dictate V1.3 Is Released

24 February, 2009 @ 4:26 pm by Lioncourt

Today, MacSpeech Dictate V1.3 was released with a host of new features.

Users can now utilize MacSpeech Dictate to work with any document, including those that were not created with the application. It features a new "Cache Document" command that allows the software to read a document’s contents, in order to navigate the document, and to enter and edit text.

Additionally, this latest version also introduces an extensive new Help Book system, two new visual microphone status indicators, and new commands for “Cache Selection,” "Press The Key," "Press The Key Combo," and "Cancel Training."

MacSpeech Dictate 1.3 fixes reported issues, adds several enhancements and is free of charge to all existing registered users.

    As much as MacSpeech Dictate sounds like a wonderful product, I’m still curious how compatible it is with VoiceOver. Specifically, I’m curious how a VoiceOver user might get through the speech training process and what the behavior is like while actually dictating. I’ve written to the folks at MacSpeech, however, have really not gotten much of a reply excepting a suggestion that a headset should be used to prevent the Alex speech from being recognized. Frankly, this is very disappointing. There are many blind folks who undoubtedly would embrace a solid speech recognition solution, not to mention folks with multiple disabilities, blindness being one. My hope is that MacSpeech will find a way to test the product’s compatibility with VoiceOver, or that at some point, a demo might be made available. Be all that as it may, the new MacSpeech Dictate sounds like a fantastic product and one which will possibly be accessible to VoiceOver users.
