| Name | Dictation? | Voice commands? | Dictate in browser | Dictate in any program | Info |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Braina | Yes | Yes | Yes | Dictate into third party software and websites, fill web forms and execute vocal commands. | |
| Caster | Yes | No | No | Caster (built on the Dragonfly framework) | |
| Click by Voice (by mdbridge) | No | Yes | No | No | Chrome extension allowing activating links & other HTML elements w/ voice commands |
| Dragon Professional Individual (DPI) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | |
| Dragon Professional Anywhere | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | |
| DragonUtilities | Add-Ons for Dragon Speech Recognition | ||||
| KnowBrainer | No | Yes | No | No | |
| LilySpeech | Yes | Limited | Yes | Yes | |
| LipSurf | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | Google Chrome extension, adds commands and (if you pay), dictation, inside Chrome. Interesting command called ‘Tags’ where all clickable UI elements in Chrome are numbered so you can click on them by voice. Similar to ‘Show numbers’ in KnowBrainer 2017, and a few other programs that offer the same functionality.Seems to use Google’s speech recognition engine. |
| Otter Voice Meeting Notes | Yes | No | Yes | No | ‘Otter.ai frees you from taking notes at meetings, by automatically joining selected meetings, and producing live transcriptions that you and other participants can annotate and highlight in real time.’ |
| SpeechMagic | Yes | Example | Nuance Communications acquired Philips owned. Medical industry focus according to Frost & Sullivan. Standalone or embedded. | ||
| Speechnotes | Yes | No | Yes | No | |
| Speech Productivity (SP) | Yes (needs Dagon installed) | Yes | No | Yes, via special ‘Dictation Box’ (using Dragon) | Offers a much improved Dictation Box. |
| SpeechTexter | Yes | Yes | |||
| Talon (voice command and dictation software) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | The developer has developed his own speech engine (based on Facebook technology). His model, called ‘Conformed D + Whisper’ is almost as good as Dragon for regular dictation, and much better than Dragon for voice commands. After 10 years of battling with Dragon, I think I may have finally found a Dragon killer! |
| Tazti | Yes | Create speech command profiles to play PC games and control applications – programs. Create speech commands to open files, folders, webpages, applications. Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 versions. | |||
| Vocola / Unimacro | No | Yes | No | No | Open source alternative to KnowBrainer 2017 (see above). Commands stored as easy-to-edit text. |

| VoiceMacro | No | Yes | No | No | |
| Windows Speech Recognition (WSR) / Cortana | Yes | Limited | Yes | Yes | Crap, as usual, from Microsoft. |
Microsoft's new
|
Yes | Limited | Yes | Yes | Finally, Microsoft’s built-in speech recognition is improving. Microsoft recently bought Nuance (makers of Dragon), and I suspect the new ‘Voice Typing’ in Windows is based on this, as the quality is much better than the old WSR engine. Extremely limited commands, and the second you finish speaking it stops listening, but the recognition is as good as basically already as good as Dragon, but there is no need to install anything on your computer. |
