An overview of the types of speech-to-text software that are available for Mac OS X. Speech-to-text software, sometimes known as dictation software, lets you talk to the computer and have the computer react appropriately.

Reading seems like a simple activity. One that is so simple that it’s probably taken for granted by most people. But if you’re somebody with severe physical limitations reading can become a chore. I’ve unexpectedly stumbled onto a device that I think is the best solution. Would you believe it’s the iPod touch?

Keeping your CD and DVD collections on the computer can make them much easier to access and use. ITunes makes it easy to keep music from your CDs on the computer - just use the iTunes “import” command and your music is copied to the computer. Keeping a DVD collection on the computer is a little trickier, but you don't have to be a geek to do it.

Trying to learn to use a new program and memorise many commands at the same time as you are learning the art of dictation is always going to be difficult. Happily, there is one thing which you can do that will greatly increase the chances that you will learn to use MacSpeech Dictate usefully.
