1. Hands on with Apple's first public beta of macOS 10.15 Catalina. Just over two weeks after first showing off the new macOS Catalina 10.14 at its Worldwide Developer Conference in the.
2. Slow Mac Startup. After installing macOS Catalina, you may notice your Mac is a bit sluggish when starting up. Be aware that the first time you start up your Mac after upgrading to Catalina or any new version of the Mac OS, your Mac may indeed experience a slow startup.

‎macOS Catalina gives you more of everything you love about Mac. Experience three all-new media apps: Apple Music, Apple TV, and Apple Podcasts. Locate a missing Mac with the new Find My app. And now coming to Mac, your favorite iPad apps. You can even extend your desktop using iPad as a second displ. Catalina is the 15th release of what Apple used to call OS X, and like earlier versions, it builds on a solid and secure Unix-based foundation. Catalina runs smoothly and reliably and adds several. How ‘Find My' Mac works in macOS Catalina and iOS 13 Apple has created cutting-edge system that can safely, securely and privately help users find lost or stolen things.

macOS Catalina made accessibility worse for users that utilize their voice to type. This is a multi-faceted issue, and I will walk you through my daily hell.

(if you want to know why this matters to me <–)

I'm still 3 music-based articles behind, so I spent portions of this weekend putting together this article while I revisit Prolog. Not much I can do when the software I'm reviewing is broken or suddenly has a major updating looming.

I really should write more how-tos I suppose. Anyway, on to the rant.

• Dictation
• Voice Control

I really should write more how-tos I suppose. Anyway, on to the rant.

• Dictation
• Voice Control

The best voice to text option on macOS was Nuance Dragon for Mac. In 2018 they canned it.

Dragon for Mac barely worked, but it did work. Updates to macOS, frameworks and Dragon's authorization server's spottiness quickly made the software unusable by early 2019.

Approximately 1 year later, macOS Catalina was released with the new Voice Control feature which promised…the exact same features of Dragon for Mac.

The connection isn't difficult to make, given that 'Voice Control' is powered by the Siri engine which itself is powered by technology from Nuance Communications (the maker of Dragon).

This doesn't sound like a sad story on the surface, but you've yet to be exposed to Apple's ineptitude.

Macs have had the dictation feature since OS X Jaguar. It's a server-side interpretation of speech which appears to simulate typing in some manner on the client.

Dictation works on nearly every text input widget. If it accepts text, then you can utilize the dictation feature.

BUT IT IS TERRIBLE

I speak relatively accent neutral. I am able to utilize Dragon with minimal effort, and friends are amazed when Siri understands every single word I say.

macOS Dictation has no clue. Around 50% of the output looks like some transliterated mess, with me speaking an alien language. Over time I've learned what it can and can't do well, but that's insufficient for daily work.

It WAS better

Dictation at least used to have options. The option of note was the ability to activate it by voice input. Obviously you don't want random speech interfering with your computer's operation, but you also don't want that pop-up microphone on your screen at all times (you'll see why this matters later).

After months (since mid 2019) of messing with the dictation feature, I did learn which words I could accurately get across. I would switch between dictation and typing to reduce the load on my hands.

That is gone in Catalina.

It's replaced by….

One of Catalina's headline features: Voice Control.

It has the basic features that you could want from Speech-to-Text:

• Commands - A variety of commands to control your computer, edit text and the ability to add scripted commands to recognized vocalizations.
  • Mouse Control - Selection of items by number, a grid overlay to click portions of the screen.
• Dictionary - Add new words to the recognition database, so I can say 'Cubase' and not get 'QBase'.
• Accurate - Voice Control types what I say with few errors.

Four things that change the world for people like me.

It works fantastic…

When it works.

Raw Input

• Any Electron-based application
• Jetbrains products.
• Serif Products - Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer
• Basically any audio software. Some Logic textboxes work, some don't.

How do I know this? Because that's a list of the software I use nearly every day.

I can't use Catalina's Speech-to-Text with any of these applications!

Cmon Apple!
