Voice Type:Real Time Dictation 4+

I am a avid user of dictation on my Mac using it every day, many times throughout the day and I found the Mac native dictation, albeit improved, still very limited, and also kept messing up a lot of words and I always had to go back and adjust things especially if it was more than one sentence. So I tested out the 5 popular dictation apps and this one is easily the best bang for your buck. It doesn't mess up my words, and I am able to add my own vocabulary/names. It allows you to do the key important things that the other dictation apps also allow you to do without all the extra transcription stuff and larger costs. If you want better dictation this is the app. I have no affiliation with this app or the developers… this is just a really good app.

Mac Sequoia 15.1 caused my dictation to stop working. This is the only thing I found that could get me back to the productivity levels I needed. I'm not usually fond of auto punctuation, but this thing works perfectly. I'm still on the trial level, but I see no reason why I would not move forward with the one-time purchase price. This review, of course, was written using the app itself.

I really want to like this program. Really. But the way it works isn't very helpful. The quality of the transcription seems to be excellent. But the handling of punctuation leaves a lot to be desired, period. as you can see from the previous sentence. The program seems to bundle up a few seconds of audio. The program tunes to bundle up a few seconds of audio. and then transcribe it. The transcription itself goes very quickly. But it should be able to do that on smaller sections of audio. Also, comma, it should not be guessing your punctuation. This makes it useless for writing. This program is, I think, off to a good start. But it needs a lot more refinement. I'm not asking for a budget version of Dragon from this, comma. But it can get closer. I'm looking forward to trying it in the future. when it is closer to complete.
