Siri commands enable you to get information that typically requires opening applications, typing queries, clicking buttons, and doing manual searches. Many of Siri of commands can’t be done as easy with Dragon Dictate, such as getting answers to queries without opening a webpage. As with Siri in iOS, you can issue hundreds of voice commands and queries, such as open webpages, make and get scheduled appointments, make phone calls, get traffic directions, do web searchers, send a tweet or posting to Facebook, locate friends or family members, and much, much more. To enable Siri commands, go to System Preferences > Siri. This feature is mostly for dictating text, but you can also use it to issue built-in and custom commands that Siri doesn’t do. The regular Dictation feature is now located in System Preferences > Keyboard > Dictation. When it comes to voice commands on the Mac, there’s now Siri commands, and the regular voice-to-text dictation and custom commands in the pervious versions of OS X.
On the other hand, despite serious problems with Dragon Dictate, Siri can’t perform some important actions that Dragon Dictate can, especially in the areas of voice-to-text dictation, voice editing text, and creating custom commands (more about Dragon commands later.) Siri and Dictation In other words, you don’t do a lot of dictation, and you don’t spend lots of time at the computer issuing voice Mac commands, then Siri should suffice. Yes, if your dictation and Mac commands needs are not that great.
Right off, you’re probably wondering does Siri replace the need for Dragon Dictate? The short answer is yes and no.
Previously, I’ve compared Apple’s built voice-to-text features with Dragon Dictate, but with the recent inclusion of Siri on the Mac, my previous comparison needs updating. Question: Is it possible the new Siri in macOs Sierra will be able to be used similar to DragonDictate? Thanks for what you do!
