A short history Dragon Dictate 2.
0, the latest version of the popular voice recognition software, Dragon Naturally Speaking, is speech recognition software designed specifically for Mac users.
It has gone through many changes over the years.
Initially the 1st voice recognition program for Mac's OS X came from IBM's Via Voice.
Via Voice stopped developing the software for the Mac when Scansoft acquired the license for distributing that software.
Another company, Articulate Systems, produced a product called MacSpeech back in the 1990's for an earlier Mac OS, and this software was devoted to dictation and voice recognition.
Then in 2000 Lernout & Hauspie acquired Dragon Systems.
Later in 2001, Scansoft purchased Lernout & Hauspie's voice recognition products, which included Dragon Naturally Speaking, and also another company, Speechworks.
This company eventually merged with Nuance Communications, which now puts out Dragon Dictate for Mac, amongst many other versions of their popular voice recognition software.
