My new M1 MacBook Pro inherited the final version of Nuance's Dragon dictation app through Migration Assistant - just tried it on my old top-end 2017 retina MacBook running High Sierra, and Dragon still works fine there, but with a small fraction of the computing power, so I guess that I'll use that for dictation, reluctantly, though I enjoy the MacBook's lighter weight.Īpple no longer does Enhanced Dictation (you've got to go to System Preferences / Accessibility / Voice Control and click "Enable Voice Control" and then go into the "Commands" option and turn off ALL the "Basic Navigation", "Overlays & Mouse" and "Accessibility" options plus whichever of the "Dictation", "Text Selection", "Text Navigation", "Text Editing" and "Text Deletion" options you don't need or want to use, and then the user still doesn't have all of the extremely useful AI learning functions and capabilities that Dragon Dictate, or whatever Nuance's Nom de Jour is/was that day, used to have). I guess that Nuance has pulled the plug in macOS 11 and later, or the old code couldn't keep up. Dragon Dictate WAS working fine on my Apple silicon MacBook Pro, but today () it crashed.
