Is there a Mac software/hardware solution that will let me speak instead of typing and that will work with any program (AE, FCP, word processor, code editor, mail program) when it is expecting typed text? AFAIK, Nuance is ahead of the game here. Check out their Dragon Dictate 3 for Mac. In addition to standard voice recognition, it includes features to control common Mac apps such as Word, Excel, Keynote, Mail, etc. And there's now an "Express Editor" feature that lets you dictate text into a text field of any (or at least many) Mac apps. $200, often on sale: http://www.nuance.com/for-individuals/by-product/dragon-for-mac/dragon-dictate/index.htm I don't use Dragon, but I have friends who, because of various CTD/RSI issues can only use a keyboard a little bit or not at all. They all use Dragon and are fairly productive. Don't personally know of anyone using it with AE, though. Thoughts from others? Jim |
