Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / May 2008MacSpeech Dictate: does vocabulary training work?
I tried vocabulary training in Dictate, but it didn't seem to retain the words from my documents - it flagged the same words as unknown in successive documents in different training sessions. In other words, what it supposedly memorized in the first session was not applied to the second. Also, it didn't seem to remember the words in a dictation session. I am in a non-admin account. Do I need to be in an admin account for this to work? Are the new words stored in the application bundle? Anyone get this to work? Thanks, Don  SignatureDonald S.

Correction features in general are not implemented yet, they are promised in free future updates, which we are all waiting for. I rationalize my MacSpeech Dictate purchase as a "donation", to get speech recognition working on the Mac, nearly as well as it does on PC/Windows.

I didn't see any new MacSpeech related files in the user's account after performing the training, so I wondered if they were hidden in the Dictate bundle, in which case admin privileges would be needed. Let's hope they get this working soon, even a simple version like they had in iListen would be better than having to correct unusual words and names all the time. Don SignatureDonald S.

Yeah, I really hope they succeed. They have their financial "shot in the arm" now, so they have a little money to play with. Hopefully _some_ correction features will be added in a few months. Should be very interesting to see the status of MacSpeech Dictate a year from now. The PC/Windows speech software offerings really need some competition, they keep jacking up their prices without improving the product. Presently, they are the only game in town, and they know it. The present price of Dragon medical at the Nuance website is $1,400 which is essentially the same version that they were selling a few months ago for $1,200 Mark- Donald Hall: > I tried vocabulary training in Dictate, but it didn't seem to retain the > words from my documents - it flagged the same words as unknown in [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Anyone get this to work? It does not work -- yet. MacSpeech released Dictate with basic capabilities -- high accuracy being chief among them. The rest will follow in subsequent updates.
