Voice dictation only thread

[Broph]

I'm trying it now. Seems to work even with the TV going like you said.

The thing I don't get is why it has to be processed remotely instead of your computer doing it. Products like Dragon dictate don't require anything be sent out for remote processing. I could understand maybe that iPhones or iPads can't handle that sort of processing, but Mountain Lion runs on regular computers which have sufficient processing power to do the job themselves.

I suppose this bypasses the learning process that Dragon has to do, which takes quite a while to get good.

I imagine it's just piggybacking on the same infrastructure as Siri. Doing it that way, adding it to mountain lion would have been a relatively trivial exercise compared to adding voice recognition into OS X itself.

(I note that dictation puts a space between OS and X as we are supposed to now!)

Dictation works fine for me. Although I can't seem to get it to put capitals at the beginning of a word.

For example the first letter of the last word in this sentence should be a cat capital.

Hi guys. I first wrote this little piece just so that when it came to dictating I'd have something to say. Yeah, defeats the purpose but this isn't a real world example. Just testing it out and then posting. Bye.

how?...

One reason it needs to be supported remotely is simply the fact that the program is so large that it would eat up a large space on your computer.
