Details:
Simply Smarter--Improved Accuracy & Faster Recognition
Powered By Dragon: Dragon Dictate for Mac 2.0
recognizes speech faster and more accurately right out
of the box. Dictate 2.0's remarkable accuracy is powered
by the latest version of the award-winning Dragon
speech recognition engine. This is the same
state-of-the-art technology used by Dragon
NaturallySpeaking 11 for the PC.
Optimized For Mac: Improvements to Dictate 2.0 as a
Mac OS X application enable the software to load data
faster, respond faster with recognized text, execute
commands faster and produce text more rapidly in your
favorite Mac applications.
Smarter Control--Powerful Commands
In addition to the powerful voice commands that Dragon
Dictate already offers for controlling popular Mac
applications like Mail, iChat, TextEdit and Safari, the new
Dragon Dictate 2.0 adds more ways than ever to interact
with your Mac by voice:
New Editing Commands: Most editing commands in
Dragon Dictate 2.0 now allow for the syntax supported
by Dragon NaturallySpeaking for PC. These commands
are easy to say, easy to remember, and designed to
simplify and speed up editing by voice. The new Dictate

5. 2.0 commands include:
"Select (text)", "Select Next/Previous"
"Delete (text)", "Delete Next/Previous"
"Train (text)" or "Correct (text)"
"Insert Before/After (text)"
"Capitalize (text)" , "Capitalize Next/Previous"
"Lowercase (text)", "Lowercase Next/Previous"
"Uppercase (text)", "Uppercase Next/Previous"
Commands carried over from MacSpeech Dictate 1.5 will
continue to work, as well. For example, "Select The
Word(s)" or "Delete The Word(s)", et. al.
Proofreading: The new Proofreading commands in
Dragon Dictate 2.0 take advantage of the powerful
Text-to-Speech capabilities built into Mac OS X. Use
these commands to have dictated text read back to you:
"Read/Proofread (text)"
"Read/Proofread The Selection"
"Read/Proofread Document"
Surrounding Punctuation: These commands allow you to
put punctuation around certain words or words, using a
single command. Some examples are:
"Put Quotes Around (text)"

And more!

Smart From The Start--Productivity is Faster &
Easier
Flexible Microphones: Switching between microphones is
easier to manage with Dragon Dictate 2.0. A new "Audio
Sources" setting lets you specify which microphones to
use with a given Profile. You can even designate multiple
microphones for a single Profile -- for example, if you use
both a wired headset microphone and a wireless
microphone. The free Dragon Remote Microphone app
turns your iPhone or iPod touch into a wireless
microphone so you can dictate and control your Mac by
voice, without the traditional headset wires.
Easy Upgrade: Moving from MacSpeech Dictate 1.5 to
Dragon Dictate 2.0 is a breeze:

Dictate v1.5, including custom vocabulary, and sets

profiles.

are compatible with Dragon Dictate 2.0.
Training Tools: Microphone Setup and Voice Training are
easier to manage via an updated user interface for
various set-up tools.
Expanded User Manual & Help Guide: The Dragon
Dictate 2.0 User Manual and built-in Help Guide offer
in-depth information about both new and existing
features in Dictate 2.0.
Point By Voice with MouseGrid
Dragon Dictate 2.0 lets you control your Mac's cursor and
mouse actions by voice, giving you a new option for
interacting with your desktop, and giving you precise
handling of mouse pointer-based tasks.
MouseGrid: Placement of the cursor can be accomplished
with MouseGrid commands. Using numbered 3x3 grid
sections onscreen, you can narrow down the placement
of the mouse pointer, and then use a Mouse Click
command. Some of the MouseGrid commands are:
"Open MouseGrid" or "MouseGrid"
"Small MouseGrid" (directly around mouse pointer)
"1" through "9", to narrow down placement
"Close MouseGrid", or "Cancel"
Mouse Click: To click the mouse, you simply speak a
command, with optional that designate one or more keys
such as Command, Option, Shift or Caps Lock. Choose
from these new commands:
"(modifiers) Mouse Click"
"(modifiers) Mouse Double Click"
"(modifiers) Mouse Triple Click"
"(modifiers) Press Mouse, or Hold Mouse"
"Release Mouse"
Mouse Movement: New commands let you move the
mouse pointer, just by using your voice. You designate
the direction (left, right, up, down, or any combination),
and optionally the distance (points, centimeters or
inches). These new commands are available in Dragon
Dictate 2.0:
"Move Mouse (direction)"
"Stop, or Slower, or Faster"
"Move Mouse (direction) 1-100
Points/Centimeters/Inches"

the new version detects your user data from the

7. previous version, including custom vocabulary.
