REVIEWS

Press Reviews:

David Pogue - The New York Times : Im finding Dragon to be a much faster, more efficient way to spit out e-mail messages, notes, text messages and Twitter updates. Its really, really cool.

Mel Martin - TUAW.com: Put this into the I didnt think they could ever get this to work on an iPhone category. Im talking about Dragon Dictation from Nuance, the developers of the very popular Dragon Naturally Speaking for the PC.

Arik Hesseldahl BusinessWeek: For the last few days Ive been trying two Nuance iPhone apps, Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search on my iPhone. And while theyre not the first voice search or dictation apps for the iPhone, I certainly like the results Ive been getting.

iTunes Reviews:

Miker55 Its understood everything Ive said. I cant tell you how many times Ive been driving and wanted to text someone but couldnt. This app is great!!!

Twebs For me Dragon dictation is a game changing application. The accuracy is outstanding and its very easy to use. I immediately notified everyone I know with an iPhone to pick up this application while its still free.

Redman042 I cant believe my iPhone can do this. Accuracy is amazingly good and transcription is very fast. You cant even tell that transcription is being done online. Im very very impressed.

Customer Reviews

Needs Improvement (2 stars)
I have Dragon software for my laptop and there is no comparison. It's because the mobile version lacks voice training. I used the app to take notes for school and the results were disastrous.
A few enhancements and it would be an extremely useful application.

It's ok. (4 stars)
When u talk into the app be shore to plug in the apple head phones so when u talk into it it will be 100% percent correct.

Updates made it worse (2 stars)
This app has a bug that Nuance refuses to address. After dictating a line of text, suppose you want to select a single word and re-dictate it to a different word. If you do so, the app removes the space preceding the new word, requiring you to open the manual text editor and re-apply the space. Very annoying, and seemingly simple to fix. Get a clue, Nuance.
