Dictation using Dragon Dictate - a work around
Many DragonDictate users have been upset by the fact that DragonDictate is no longer being updated for the Mac. If you have not upgraded your system to Mojave there is still hope. I stumbled on this by mistake, so no claims for anything but happenstance. It seems as if Google's suite works perfectly well with DragonDictate on the Mac. I started using Chrome and found that the email program works very well with DragonDictate. I then moved on to using the word processing package that comes with the Google suite. This to works to treat. So, for all you disabled users who have been suffering because of the apparent inability to use the dictation program, there is now hope.
