Dictating Software For Mac

I’m a desktop kind of person who almost always prefer a computer over a phone — unless I’m away from my desk. I have already mentioned on several blog posts that I take a lot of time to create a blog post — from researching to writing to editing to formatting. And that’s why I’m always trying to find a way to streamline my content creation process — to make it more consistent, stress-free, and efficient. Obviously, the biggest task involved in publishing a blog post is actually the writing process itself. Once the first draft gets done, the rest happens like magic!

Don’t Miss: Over the past several months/years, I tried several dictation or voice to text software — including the super-popular Dragon Speech Recognition Software (but I tried it several years back) — and nothing really worked for me. Meet “Voice typing” On Google Docs I was an active user until few months back and then almost stopped using it.

Dec 16, 2014 - Speech-to-text software, or dictation software, lets you control your computer, dictate text, or both. These are the options for Mac OS X users.

A couple of weeks back I noticed that Google introduced. However, it’s not supported in its iOS (on iPhone and iPad) apps, yet. If you are an avid Android user then you probably know that Google has added speech recognition capabilities to it long time back. In fact, if there’s a speech recognition software that has always worked for me then it’s Google.

Google’s speech recognition technology — on Search, Translator, Google Now, etc — works like a charm thanks to Google’s immense knowledge of everything. However, Google didn’t have an independent dictation software — especially for desktops — until now. But what about Microsoft’s Cortana and the overhyped Apple’s Siri?

Of course, Cortana works. But again, it doesn’t offer a voice dictation on Windows Phone or elsewhere that works (correct me if I’m wrong!). And then there’s Siri. Oh yeah, it works perfectly when you see its demo on an Apple Event. But it never worked for me. I’m pretty sure that a lot of you will now advocate for Siri or the in-built free dictation software on iOS or Mac OS X. So, I picked an excerpt from and then turned on dictation in iOS (on iPhone) and Google Docs (on the web) at the same time. Here are the results: Note: While dictating on Google Docs, it was typing “period” or “full stop” as it is instead of inserting one.

So, I edited all of them manually before copying here. Because says it detects all the common punctuations like period, comma, exclamation, etc.

And it did except a “period”. So maybe I missed something.

Best Dictation & Voice Recognition Software Comparison 2018 The verdict? Google is STILL the best dictation (voice to text) software on the web. And that’s not all. Google’s “Voice typing” now works with a variety of languages and accents. ABOUT MAHESH (@maheshone) Hey there, I’m Mahesh ( ).

No, you cannot create a hanging indent in Google Docs they way you would in Word, but there is a work around solution: 1. After entering you citation, hit enter after the first line. At the beginning of the second line of your citation, us the increase indent option on the Google docs toolbar. Where is the hanging in dent in microsoft word.

Minterest is a digital marketing and technology journal that I founded in 2007 to feed my super curiosity (oh yeah, I’m a solo-blogger). I write about tech, marketing, and everything in between that excites me. And I love to work with small businesses to help them get the most out of the web. Outside of that, I'm equally passionate about the financial markets and I also spend a lot of time doing random things (see ).
