This Mac only product remained under the radar until the surge of Mac users increased in the mid-2000s thanks to popular products like the Apple iPod, MacBooks and Desktops. The engineers and sales squad of Apple revamped the MacSpeech look and set forward to capitalize on the growing market of Mac users. The end result...the launch of MacSpeech Dictate in February of 2008.
