MacSpeech

MacSpeech is a company that develops speech recognition software for Apple Macintosh computers. Its previous flagship product, iListen, was recently succeeded by Dictate, which is now built around Nuance's licensed Dragon NaturallySpeaking engine. MacSpeech was established in 1996 by current CEO Andrew Taylor. [ [http://www.macspeech.com/pages.php?cID=4&pID=24 MacSpeech - Speech Recognition Solutions for Mac OS - The MacSpeech Story ] ] MacSpeech is currently the only company that develops voice dictation systems for the Macintosh. Its full product line is devoted to speech recognition and dictation.

The first commercial voice dictation product for Mac OS X was IBM's ViaVoice , but ScanSoft, the company that had exclusive global distribution rights to ViaVoice, merged with Nuance and stopped developing ViaVoice for Macintosh. (The first dictation software for Mac OS 9 may have been Dragon Power Secretary.)Fact|date=March 2008
