A fast, accurate, and personalized speech recognition experience.The all-new Dragon for Mac delivers fast speech recognition that’s 15% more accurate than ever, along with versatile transcription and mobility features, to drive individual productivity at work. “We’re looking at a ton of really exciting opportunities,” said Mahoney.Dictate, edit and transcribe anywhere-all by voice.
While the future of the MacSpeech brand remains in question-Nuance says it will have more to share in the coming months-the two companies will be united with an integrated product roadmap. Developing for a mobile environment raises a lot of different challenges, said Mahoney, such as more significant issues of ambient noise and even the way people talk to mobile devices versus desktop computers, but he also suggested there was room for integration between the mobile and desktop software. In recent months, Nuance has moved into the Apple ecosystem by producing a pair of free speech-related iPhone apps,ĭragon Search. “When they moved to the Dragon engine in OS X, they decided to do a ground-up rewrite of the application.” “We were happy with the way that they built the product,” Mahoney said of MacSpeech’s software. He said Nuance considered building its own Mac software, but that because of dictation software’s intimate integration with the operating system, the company wanted a team that really knew both speech and the Mac OS. “We think of it as an extension of the Dragon family into the Macintosh world,” Mahoney said of MacSpeech. Dragon products have long been the category leader on the Windows side, but they’ve always been notably absent on the Mac, so the MacSpeech acquistion gives the company a stable foothold on the Mac platform. “We already had a great relationship with MacSpeech,” said Mahoney. The deal makes sense from a business perspective: MacSpeech currently licenses Dragon’s speech-recognition engine for use in Dictate.
