I just spent the day working with Dragon Dictate for Mac, the successor to MacSpeech Dictate. My initial impressions are all positive.

Implementation of the Dragon engine version 11 is fantastic. This thing is fast, really fast.
The commands are much more intuitive. They are also are consistent with Dragon Dictate on the PC.
You can now use multiple microphones on the same profile. While this isn’t a big deal for everyone, it is for me.

Dragon Dictate for Mac still trails behind the PC version but the gap is narrowing. It makes no sense anymore to load a Windows virtual machine to run Dragon Dictate for Windows. If you need to dictate to a Mac, just get Dragon Dictate for Mac. I’ll do an in depth review later but for now, if you already use MacSpeech Dictate, the $50 upgrade is a no brainer.
