Dragon Dictate 3 is at least as lively on the old MacBook as version 2.5 was, and seems to be working fine. My late 2008 unibody MacBook is only 2.0 GHz, so I was interested to see how Dragon Dictate for Mac 3 would perform on it. Nuance also recommends a minimum of a 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo processor. In order to install Dragon Dictate for Mac 3, you’ll need at least OS X 10.7 Lion, so Snow Leopard holdouts will be henceforth limited to version 2.5 as their ultimate Dragon Dictate upgrade. Mountain Lion Dictate is great, and I’m delighted that Apple has included it in OS X’s feature set, but its untrainability and consequent lower level of accuracy renders it more of a utility for occasional use than a serious workflow enhancer tool, which is what Dragon Dictate is. Some might question whether a freestanding dictation program is a worthwhile investment now that Apple has built a Dictate function into OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Nuance’s new Dragon Dictate for Mac 3 is the best voice application I’ve yet encountered. I’ve used Dictation software for some 15 years and its a tool I enthusiastically recommend - even if you don’t have issues with typing pain (I do) or a disability.
