Cool Mac Gear



image With the level of satisfaction I'd been enjoying with MacSpeech Dictate 1.3, the developer's announcement that they'd found a way to squeeze out up to 20% better voice recognition accuracy out of version 1.5 sounded almost too good to be true, but having tried it I can affirm that Dictate is now even more impressive than it had been, and the bar was already set pretty high

Friday, February 04, 2005

Swift 3D v4406

As with the upgrade before it, the jump from v3 to v4 focuses mainly on the feature set. The difference here is that the v2 to v3 upgrade mostly brought it tools that should've been there from the start: transparency, reflectivity, multiple shadows, etc. The v4 upgrade brings about much more powerful features, such as an advanced 3D modeling environment, bezier path animation controls, hierarchy control over cameras and lights, and a ton of new gallery tools and features. Swift 3D has hit the big time.
