If you have a PC, then you arguably already have the preferred version of the software.
#Best dictation software for mac 2016 windows
I’m in the lucky position of being able to use both – if you have a Mac, after all, you can run the Windows version of the software in a virtual machine or via Boot Camp. I stand by that opinion still, despite currently dictating this blog post using Dragon for Mac 5.
I highlight in some detail in “ The Writer’s Guide to Training Your Dragon” how Dragon NaturallySpeaking for Windows is, in many ways, a far superior product to the product formerly known as Dragon Dictate (now simply called Dragon for Mac). But that was a long time ago and both platforms now have excellent operating systems in the form of OS X (soon to be called macOS) and Windows 10.īut Dragon is a strange beast as, despite sharing the same brand name, the products are very different on the Mac and the PC. I also remember when the Mac wasn’t so hot, either (I’m looking at you, OS 9). I’m old enough to remember when people hated Windows with a passion. I’ve flipped and flopped between the Mac and Windows several times over the last 20 or so years. Things are a little different when it comes to using the best tool for the job, however. That’s just how it is and how it always should be – after all, huge faceless corporations don’t care about any of us anyway, right? Why should we treat our choice of a computing platform as if it’s some kind of good or bad personality trait, anyway? Some people love using a Mac, some people love using a Windows PC. The “platform war” thing has been done to death a million times with no clear victor.
