Dictation on my High SierrA MACBOOKPRO very klutzy. makes new sentences on slightest pause, mangles words, etc. is here anything better? OSX 10.13.6
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)
Dragon Dictate is much better for dictation, you do however need a proper USB headset and you do need to train Dragon Dictate.
Siri does not need training and can be used without a headset - it might perform better with one though.
Sadly, there are no good dictation programs for the Mac OS.
I use both Dragon Dictate, and Mac's built-in dictation program. They both fall short.
The two main problems I encounter with Dragon Dictate, is that it simply will not work with Firefox. Also, it will often create random characters and move around the screen randomly. You can read about this on the Dragon Dictate user forums.
I find Apple's built-in dictation to be a bit better. Its main defect for me is capitalization. It simply does not recognize capitalization commands. I dictated this response completely using apples built-in dictation. I made no corrections.
Many thanks. i will try the Apple dictate again. I found different problem. Goes to initial caps after even slightest pause . Any way to regulate that?
Is there a better dictation app? Is Siri better?? Dragon?
