OS X Mountain Lion – Notifications Center, Dictation and Messages

  OS X Mountain Lion, the new version of the operating system for Macs was presented this evening by Apple during the WWDC. The company has prepared several SDKs that allow developers to improve the Pages, Numbers, Keynote applications. Preview and TextEdit, they can only add functions available in the Apple APIs. Going further, I will tell you that Apple presented the Messages application as the best method to chat with friends using various IM systems or even the iMessage launched last year by the company.

  Moving on, those from Apple present the new Notifications Center that was available in all beta versions of OS X Mountain Lion. It works in a similar way to the Notifications Center in iOS, but all the notifications we receive are present on one side of the screen and not in its center. Of course, the notification banners appear in the central part of the screen, but if you want, you can completely block the Notifications Center with the help of a simple button, a function that we have already talked about.

  No, what you see in the image above is not Siri but the Dictation system that allows users to dictate text that will be reproduced by the Mac. The system has been available in iDevices for several months, it works based on a system that already exists in Siri, but it is not Siri. Dictation is available anywhere in OS X Mountain Lion, users can use it to dictate text in several languages ​​around the world, Romanian not being included among them.
