Features:

• Microsoft Word 2011 Support - Dictate 2.5 allows users to seamlessly combine dictation with manual input from the mouse and keyboard. Dictate 2.5 offers built-in voice commands for controlling Microsoft Word 2011. These voice commands allow users to format text, insert tables and graphics, and control menu items by voice.
• iPhone as Wireless Microphone - Most customers use Dragon by speaking directly to their Mac using the microphone included with their Dragon software purchase. But some users can be frustrated by wearing a headset that tethers them to their Mac.
• New Facebook and Twitter Commands - Users can easily update Facebook by saying “Post to Facebook”, “Post to Facebook ,” or “Post that to Facebook.” Tweets are quickly captured by voice: a user selects dictated or typed text (via mouse or voice command), and says “Post that to Twitter.” Additional Twitter commands include “Tweet " (English only) and "Post to Twitter .”
• Formatting Enhancements: With the new Auto Formatting dialog, users have greater control over the way certain data is formatted. Individual preferences can be set for dates and time , numbers and units of measure, addresses, abbreviations, and more. Users can also set a preference to insert two spaces after a period, if they choose.
• Numbers Mode: Version 2.5 introduces Numbers Mode, which can be particularly helpful for users that frequently dictate many numbers in a row, such as inputting figures or product codes into a database. When in Numbers Mode, Dragon recognizes everything it hears as a number or as a command.
• Vocabulary Editor Improvements: Users can now delete words from the built-in Dragon vocabulary. This is helpful if a vocabulary entry you don't need “competes” with something you regularly dictate.
• Faster and Easier to Create a User Profile: Version 2.5 updates the Voice Training component of user profile creation, introducing new additional training text.
• Auto Sleep Microphone: If the microphone is on but does not receive input after one minute, the microphone will automatically go into Sleep mode. This Auto Sleep functionality is helpful as it forces users to follow effective microphone control even when you forget to turn the microphone off. With version 2.5, users can set personal preference for the time allotted for the Auto Sleep microphone functionality (any range from 30 seconds to five minutes).

• Turn Talk into Text - Instead of a keyboard, use your voice to produce text. Speak your thoughts, then watch your words appear on screen in your favorite Mac applications with amazing recognition accuracy.
• Unlock Your Creativity - Dragon Dictate for Mac keeps up with your brain. Transform ideas into text at the speed of thought. Start being creative and productive with only your voice -- don't let typing get in the way of your ideas or productivity.
• Work Comfortably - Control your Mac in a relaxed, hands-free manner without being tied to your keyboard. Instead of using your mouse, just speak commands to launch and control applications. Move the cursor or click anywhere on screen simply by voice.
• Multi-task Like Never Before - Tell your Mac what to do, like “Reply To This Message” or “Open Microsoft® Word” or “Jump To Google” to work faster and smarter.
• Work Your Way - Create a digital world, powered by your own voice. Customize Dragon Dictate for Mac with personal vocabulary and voice commands that reflect the kind of work you do.
• Comfortable and Convenient Wireless Solution - Turn your iPhone or iPod into a wireless microphone for use with Dragon on your Mac. The free Dragon Remote Microphone app can be used with Dragon Dictate to generate the same great transcription accuracy - without the traditional headset wires.
• Robust Recognition - Dragon Dictate offers Recognition Training which enables it to learn how you speak while you use the software. A powerful Vocabulary Editor lets you add specialized words, such as the names of people, places and other proper nouns.
• Customizable -Create new voice commands for controlling Mac applications, or set up voice-triggered workflows using AppleScript or Automator.
