I was always excited about having another way to enter data on my Mac, as I'm not as great at the keyboard as I'd like to be. I'm a champ on the mouse, but there's nothing like the spoken word regarding entering data. No, even though there is no specific software for this microphone for MacIntosh, it integrates perfectly with the operating system for dictation. Two clicks on my hockey key, and it unmutes, and I've got a very good text entry system. I can practically whisper in this tiny mic and pick up almost every word I say. Sometimes, I have to be very articulate in my speaking manner, but for the most part, it's quite unbelievable. I was using the built-in microphones from my WebCams, and I'm using an Oscbot Tiny 2, which is not an inexpensive device. It has stereo microphones, but having this small mic on my desktop about 18 inches from my mouth and dictation works better than ever. Excellent, I was thinking about upgrading to the Yeti to have software and flexibility, but it's way too big. I've had the Yeti Nano in my box. Still, as far as I can tell, this has everything I need for the price I paid, which was $45 with a promotion I can upgrade when I'm ready to do some actual broadcasting, in the meantime, do not hesitate to buy this for your Mac unless you want to do studio work. I plugged in some headphones to see how I sounded, which was pretty good. I don't know if it was broadcast quality, but it was pretty darn good, and it's very good at dictation. The front gain control acts as a volume input control. The only extra I would get on the yeti is omnidirectional and the software, but again the size even on the nano is much larger than this. It's highly recommended.
