DragonDictate was great and then they stopped developing it after version 6. It still works on my Intel iMac in Ventura. Soon I will be moving to a Mac with Apple Silicon and I'm pretty sure that will be the end of Dragon for me. Enter Voice Control - This is included for free in Mac OSX and I am getting more impressed with it. Certainly is unbeatable value for money. Accuracy is excellent. Nearly to the same level as Dragon and for the price it is more than good enough. I've spent a few weeks with it, to get accustomed to the different commands and its quirks and foibles. When you get used to the way it works and see the AI improving it the more you use it, you might just be impressed. In this video I show you some basics and how I use it. I have a tip for getting words or sets of words in a sentence to be capitalised. This is the first in a series of Voice Control tutorials.

In a previous video tutorial I showed you the application called LightPaper which I thought was pretty impressive for text entry on the Android operating system. That application does have some extra keys which allow you to move around in the text very easily which is incredibly useful. Today I have an application called Draft which in some ways is preferable, partly because it has a slightly better interface and partly because of better extra markdown buttons. I ran into the same problem with this application in that in the landscape those extra buttons disappear and you can't use them. That is not too much of a problem as quite often working in portrait mode is good enough anyway. It is very easy to select text and add the markdown syntax, so the star characters are put on either side of the word to make is it that into bold or into italics. The application works very well if you want to share out to twitter, ADN or Google plus, but for some reason when you want to share to Facebook you need to make sure that you do a copy of the text before you go. The application fails to take the text along to the Facebook application and I'm not sure if this is a problem with the Facebook API or if it is a problem with this application Draft for Android. When I have been using iOS there is application called Drafts and to be honest I prefer that one. I guess more options within the application for where I want to share it to as well as some automation possibilities. It is rather nice that I also get notifications of where I have shared it out to already. I get the impression that the developer of this application for Android, Draft is copying the basics of the iOS application. With that in mind, I hope that he does a good job and brings in more of the good points that are like in the iOS application. ## Please subscribe to make sure you hear about all the How To videos.
