Dragon Dictation may be one of the most useful free apps we’ve seen for the iPhone. You speak, it transcribes your text
and then you decide what to do with the text. From the apps, you can email or text your dictation directly. You can also send the text to the clipboard for other applications. If your dictation is off a bit, you can edit the text right from the app — it even offers suggestions for words that it wasn’t sure of.
It can even format for you. You just voice your punctuation marks, like “comma” or “period”, and it sticks them in. If you say, “new paragraph”, it formats it for you. It’s pretty impressive and it’s accuracy is reminiscent of their PC application.
So, why would you want this? Three obvious scenarios:
After a week of testing, we’ve started using Dragon for more than 50% of our composition. It’s fast, surprisingly accurate and simple to work with. Occasionally, it would lose its server connection and our dictation would be lost. That’s the apps one flaw: you can’t dictate offline — it needs that server link to do the translation.
We cannot recommend this app enough. Try it for yourself. As the cliche goes, “you can’t beat free.”
