MacSpeech Dictate

I'm at the bottom of the class when it comes knowing my way around computers, but a thought just came to me. Isn't it possible to have more than one OS version in your computer at the same time? If it's possible, maybe I could add Tiger, or Leopard, or Panther to my iMac and then use MacDisc Dictate with the most compatible one.

Could this be done? If so, how difficult would it be? Would it be dangerous? If none of the three mentioned OS versions would work, is it still possible to download one that would?

I'm not sure I completely understand your comments.

(1) Are you saying that it would be okay to go online with my up-to-date OS version, but not with the old one? In other words, you're not saying that adding an old version in a different partition would affect the operation of the up-top-date version in any way, are you?

(2) Is there any reason why I could not dictate something and have it converted Into text with all operations in the old OS version?

Okay, I just wanted to be sure that I would not be causing problems if I did that. I'll try it now, Thanks.

I won't go through everything I've now learned, but using Dragon's speech to text app on Mojave now seems impossible. I had thought of buying the Window' version, but after learning that it costs $300, that's not a useful solution, particularly, since I don't even know how it would work on a Mac through Parallels, Boot Camp or Fusion. Dragon is now out for me, even though it has always been considered the best speech-to-text app by far. That leaves the poorer quality speech to text apps for Mac. I might try them, but I now think the best solution for me might be sites where you dictate, supposedly to trained stenographers, or whatever they call them. The site I just looked at charges one dollar a minute, which should be just fine for me. It all depends on the quality of their work.

" If not, no reason not to use them."

This is the case. Thanks.
