Alastair Senior Member Posts: 137 Joined: 01/16/2007 | My granddaughter has never heard of Dragon NaturallySpeaking and I have been with the program I would think for nearly 20 years and a member here also. She is running an Apple Mac computer, and I'm wanting to give her a Dragon NaturallySpeaking professional program. Will she be able to plug this in and make it work without any problems. Best, Alastair ------------------------- |
Lunis Orcutt Top-Tier Member Posts: 37723 Joined: 10/01/2006 | The 1st thing you should tell her is that this edition of Dragon is called Dragon Professional Individual or DPI 15.3 for short. Don't mention the term “NaturallySpeaking” because it was 86ed 5 years ago and you want your granddaughter to keep cool Dragon should work better on a dedicated Windows PC but considering that you have to use Parallels/VMware or Bootcamp with a Windows 10 installation, Dragon should function nearly as well. However, as often as you see Mac computers on television, they do not run the world. If your granddaughter eventually needs a job that requires computer use, experienced Window proficient users are likely to be hired 1st. ------------------------- Trial Downloads Dragon/[email protected] (615) 884-4558 ext 1 |

Don't you think that reiterated negative comments on Mac look somehow partisan. Most modern Mac run windows seamlessly with appropriate virtual machine and certain to surprising speed however I don't intend to start a controversy reading your comment is usually very informative Best regards ------------------------- plb46500 |
Alastair Senior Member Posts: 137 Joined: 01/16/2007 | Well thank you both for your comments, my granddaughter is going to be a physiotherapist so how much computing she will do I don't know. I'm just going to keep a neutral attitude and if she really wants to get into this excellent voice operating system, then I can do it for her. I have been here a long time and this is the most excellent board on the entire Internet and so much knowledge it's absolutely fantastic. Thank you again for your comments very best wishes Alastair ------------------------- |
Scribe Top-Tier Member Posts: 358 Joined: 04/02/2010 | Alastair, Since your granddaughter is already using a Mac, she might want to experiment with the Voice Control application built into Apple's Catalina operating system. It is supposed to work in word-processing programs, e-mail systems, and more. I'm a PC user, so I don't have personal experience with it, but I found a feature about it here: https://9to5mac.com/2019/10/21/how-to-use-voice-control-mac-catalina/.

mwarddoc Senior Member Posts: 137 Joined: 10/06/2017 | 'my granddaughter is going to be a physiotherapist so how much computing she will do' Well, I'm a physician, and in undergraduate (at a major university) and medical school (at same major university) I was not allowed to take programming classes because 'it isn't essential to your program', and we only had two computer terminals in medical school that we could use (in a thousand bed hospital) to access labs and neither had a printer, and in residency, at a hospital with one of the leading information systems IN THE WORLD that we had people from other countries come to look at we only had one terminal on each floor and one in the residency night call quarters (but we had printers attached - perhaps that was why people came from around the world to look at our system).in the 1980's. Fast forward 30 years. She will spend the entire day typing, entering data, and cursing the computers, IT department, vendors of crappy software, and wondering how bad paper charts must have been to make us convert to computer based systems (yes, they were that bad and computer based systems are immeasurably better). So, my advice, is that you teach her to swear, teach her the foulest epithets and phrases you can think of, because she is going to need them. ------------------------- mwarddoc |
