That leaves users with the unenviable choice of either making do with an inferior product or dropping their Macs in favor of Windows, where Nuance still supports Dragon Professional. So Apple’s own offering is far inferior to Dragon for Mac and is not at all productive for me to use.'

'So if there is an error in recognition when dictating people like me can’t take to the keyboard and simply carry on.

'Apple’s own voice dictation app.(found in accessibility) is inferior because it doesn’t learn from your mistakes, it can’t cope with work jargon, foreign names, you can’t train it to recognize words so it doesn’t repeat the same recognition mistake, you can’t add to its vocabulary,' said Hughes. Unfortunately, Hughes tells us, there isn't anything close to Dragon at the moment. It would be one thing if the other options for Mac users could match Nuance's now-discontinued offering. Which leads us to the next part of the story. In other words, the clock is ticking for anyone who relies on Dragon for Mac to either find a new app or migrate to Windows. Customers’ statutory rights are not affected.' 'Customers may still receive telephone support for up to 90 days from date of activating the software in North America and up to 180 days from date of software activation in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Asia-Pacific regions. After much consideration, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue the Dragon Professional Individual for Mac line-up,' the statement reads.

'Nuance is constantly evaluating its product portfolio to see how we can best meet the needs of our customers and business.
