The connection isn’t difficult to make, given that “Voice Control” is powered by the Siri engine which itself is powered by technology from Nuance Communications (the maker of Dragon). Updates to macOS, frameworks and Dragon’s authorization server’s spottiness quickly made the software unusable by early 2019.Īpproximately 1 year later, macOS Catalina was released with the new Voice Control feature which promised…the exact same features of Dragon for Mac. In 2018 they canned it.ĭragon for Mac barely worked, but it did work. The best voice to text option on macOS was Nuance Dragon for Mac. I really should write more how-tos I suppose. Not much I can do when the software I’m reviewing is broken or suddenly has a major updating looming. I’m still 3 music-based articles behind, so I spent portions of this weekend putting together this article while I revisit Prolog. (if you want to know why this matters to me <–)
This is a multi-faceted issue, and I will walk you through my daily hell. MacOS Catalina made accessibility worse for users that utilize their voice to type.
