    No transcription, only works online and from a browser and what's more, it has to be Chrome. Doesn't compare. With Dragon you can write entire books and typing a 2,000 word piece is a done in a flash. Apples and oranges.

    "This text-to-speech utility" Dragon is a speech to text program. There is a major difference between the two.

    Why do TTS synthesizers keep getting listed as Dragon alternatives?

    Text to speech reader not a speech to text program like Dragon. Dragon can do text-to-speech but it is primarily a speech to text program. This program has no speech to text capabilities.
