[MV] Dragon Dictate 2.0 Experiences

[Andrew Taylor]

Hello All,

Another application that is going to "track" better is TextEdit. It is somewhat more Accessibility API (the operating system code that lets Dictate track other applications) compliant than most other applications. If you are using it in "normal" mode - not outline, you can generally click with the mouse and type as well and Dictate will keep track of your manual modifications. But do it "gently", rapid clicking here and there, and fast typing can still mess things up.

I have always been one who likes to move the mouse around and even hand type right in the middle of dictation. I'm happy to report that in these other applications I am able to put the cursor anywhere I want in the middle of the previously dictated text and start dictating, and for the most part things are working as expected, which for me is very good news.
