# DragonDictate

DragonDictate, Dragon Dictate, or Dragon for Mac is proprietary speech recognition software. The older program, DragonDictate, was originally developed by Dragon Systems for Microsoft Windows, and was replaced by Dragon NaturallySpeaking for Windows. It was later acquired by Nuance Communications. Dragon Dictate for Mac 2.0 (originally named MacSpeech Dictate) is supported only on Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). Nuance's other products for Mac include MacSpeech Scribe.

## Original DragonDictate

DragonDictate for Windows was the original speech recognition application from Dragon Systems and used discrete speech where the user must pause between speaking each word. The first version, 1.0 was available only through a few distribution and support partners. It included a Shure cardioid microphone headset. Later it was replaced by Dragon NaturallySpeaking, which allows continuous speech recognition and correction and training of words via the keyboard. NaturallySpeaking remains a Windows-only program, and since 2016 distributes in Version 15. DragonDictate for Windows is still available but has not been updated since Windows 98 was the current operating system.

## Dragon Dictate for Mac

Dragon Dictate for Mac 2.0, an upgrade for MacSpeech Dictate, was announced on September 20, 2010 by Nuance Communications, the developer of MacSpeech products. The upgrade incorporates some of the features of NaturallySpeaking into the MacSpeech software. Dragon Dictate for Mac lacks other NaturallySpeaking features, such as training mis-recognized words by simply re-typing them using the keyboard. An early review by David Pogue notes,
   I’m thrilled about the power, the control, the speed and the accuracy of Dragon Dictate. It does, however, have some room for improvement.
   For example, in the dictation software world, teaching the software to know its location in your text document is a huge challenge. If you never touch the mouse, the program always knows where it is in the text — because it has deposited all that text itself.
   But if you click to edit somewhere, it’s blind. It no longer knows where it is in the document.
   In Windows, Nuance has used some clever tricks to overcome this problem in the most important programs, like Word and Outlook. On the Mac, however, the program has no idea what you’ve done manually, by clicking. So you can say something like “select fishmonger,” and the program correctly selects that word. But if you then say “italicize that” or “capitalize that,” the program operates on the wrong words, italicizing or capping something a mile away from the selection. Bizarre.
   (This problem doesn’t happen in TextEdit or Dictate’s own included word processor.)
In October 2018 Nuance announced that it was dropping Macintosh support for its products.

# Mean directional accuracy

Mean directional accuracy (MDA), also known as mean direction accuracy, is a measure of prediction accuracy of a forecasting method in statistics. It compares the forecast direction (upward or downward) to the actual realized direction. It is defined by the following formula:
    ${\frac {1}{N}}\sum _{t}\mathbf {1} _{\operatorname {sgn}(A_{t}-A_{t-1})=\operatorname {sgn}(F_{t}-A_{t-1})}$
where A$_t$ is the actual value at time t and F$_t$ is the forecast value at time t. Variable N represents number of forecasting points. The function $\operatorname {sgn}(\cdot )$ is sign function and $\mathbf {1}$ is the indicator function.
In simple words, MDA provides the probability that the under study forecasting method can detect the correct direction of the time series. MDA is a popular metric for forecasting performance in economics and finance.
MDA is used in economics applications where the economist is often interested only in directional movement of variable of interest. As an example in macroeconomics, a monetary authority who wants to know the direction of the inflation, to raise or decrease interest rates if inflation is predicted to rise or drop respectively. Another example can be found in financial planning where the user wants to know if the demand has increasing direction or decreasing trend.

## Comparison to other forecasting metrics

Many techniques, such as mean absolute percentage error or median absolute deviation, evaluate forecasting and provided information about the accuracy and value of the forecasts. While accuracy, as measured by quantitative errors, is important, it may be more crucial to accurately forecast the direction of change. Directional accuracy is similar to a binary evaluation. The metric only considers the upward or downward direction in the time series and is independent of quantitive value of increase or decrease. For example, will prices rise or fall? How much it will increase or decrease can be detected by other forecasting metrics.

## Tourist assets
### Natural areas

There are numerous places that feature adventure tourism in Paraguay. Several of them have extreme sports like zip-lining and rappelling. Activities include walks, hiking in sulky, cavalcades, and guided tours. One can also perform educational scientific research in various reserves, such as observing the characteristic fauna and flora of rural areas. Paraguay's protected areas are found throughout the territory.
Rural tourism provides insight into the native culture of the peoples of Amazonian origin and highlights their maternal relationship to the land. Rural tourism in Paraguay (while largely devoted to relaxation) includes activities such as horseback riding, swimming, boating and hiking. Areas with great biodiversity are especially popular with tourists. Many large estancias (ranches) are open to urban and foreign tourists.

### Typical food

Typical meals like sopa paraguaya, asado al asador, homemade oven cooked chicken, sweets, and marmalade are an attraction for tourists. In rural areas, tourists can see crops of sugarcane, maize, cassava, snuff, coffee, peanut, rice, sorghum, tung, and spurge, as well as other fruits of the Paraguayan land, such as the avocado, mango, papaya, and pineapple.

One of the richest cities in the production of fish is Villa Florida, whose beaches oversee the Tebicuary River. In this city, the popular sport is fishing, and the cuisine feature several dishes made with fish, such as Pira Caldo.
# HMS Banterer (1807)

HMS Banterer was a Royal Navy Banterer-class sixth-rate post-ship of 24 guns, built between 1805 and 1807 at South Shields, England. She was ordered in January 1805 as HMS Banter but her name was lengthened to Banterer on 9 August 1805.

## Design and construction

Banterer was rated as a 24-gun ship and was intended to mount that number of long 9-pounder guns on her main deck. However she also carried eight 24-pounder carronades and two long 6-pounders on her quarterdeck and forecastle. By the time that Captain Alexander Cary took command in May 1807, the Admiralty added two brass howitzers to her armament, while exchanging her 9-pounders for 32-pounder carronades. Her complement was increased by 20 to 175 officers, men, and boys.
Banterer was laid down in August 1805 and launched on 24 February 1807. She was completed on 12 July 1807.

## Service history

Captain Alexander Shippard (or Sheppard) commissioned Banterer in May 1807. Later that year, Banterer participated in the Battle of Copenhagen in August and September 1807.
Subsequently, Banterer returned to England. She then sailed with a convoy for Halifax, Nova Scotia, in British North America on 13 February 1808. On 29 October 1808, she was wrecked in the Saint Lawrence River in British North America near Point Mille Vache.
The court-martial for Sheppard and his officers and crew took place aboard the corvette Tourtourelle between 28 and 30 January 1809 in St. George's Harbour at Bermuda. The court martial dismissed Lieutenant Stephen C. McCurdy from the Royal Navy for having neglected his responsibilities during the third watch. It also severely reprimanded the acting master, Robert Clegram, for culpable negligence in failing to pass on to the officer who relieved him Sheppard's instructions concerning certain safety precautions. The court martial acquitted Sheppard, his other officers and crew, and the pilot of the loss.
