Topic Title: Dragon Dictation for the iPhone Topic Summary: Free App, NUANCE LAUNCHES DRAGON DICTATION FOR IPAD BURLINGTON, MA – April 2, 2010 Created On: 06:10 PM.

Nuance, the makers of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11, have a Dragon NaturallySpeaking app for the iPad/iPhone that you might consider checking out. (What is Dragon NaturallySpeaking? Check out this post to find out more information about speaking speech to your computer.)

Actually, they have four mobile apps:

• Dragon Dictation is a free app that lets you speak into your iPad or iPhone and it will write down what you say.
• Dragon Search and Dragon Go are free apps that lets you search for things just by speaking to your iPhone or iPad. It’s a little like the Google search app, except instead of just pulling out Google findings, you can look at Wikipedia results, CNN posts, the Twitter feed, etc. I imagine it’s similar to Siri on the iPhone 4S, but unfortunately we don’t have the latest iPhone to play with. (Yet.)
• Finally, Dragon Remote Microphone is a free app that lets you turn your iPad or your iPhone into a wireless microphone to use with Dragon NaturallySpeaking on your computer. (You need Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.5 for this app to work, but if you had version 11, it’s a free upgrade.

Dragon Dictation On Iphone

This post was written using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.5 and the Dragon Remote Microphone app on the iPad 2. (Scroll below to see what kind of accuracy we got using our iPad as a wireless microphone. Normally, the posts written on this blog using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 have an accuracy of anywhere between 95% to 98% using the Bluetooth Calisto wireless headset.) So far, there doesn’t seem to be much difference in the accuracy between using the Bluetooth wireless headset and using this Dragon NaturallySpeaking app on the iPad to speak our thoughts.

Having said that, using an iPad as a wireless microphone to speak into your computer is a pretty cumbersome way to use Dragon NaturallySpeaking. (Mind you, it’s probably a lot easier if you’re holding a smaller iPhone.)

Benefits to using your Dragon NaturallySpeaking app to convert your iPhone/iPad into a wireless microphone for Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.5

• If you’re using the Dragon Remote Microphone iPhone app, then you finally are truly free from your computer and you can pace around anywhere in your house and still talk to your computer. This Dragon NaturallySpeaking app makes the text to speech software even better than a Bluetooth microphone headset. Here me out.Wireless is better.If you’re using a wired microphone and headset to speak into your computer, then you’re essentially chained to your laptop. Your iPhone app works by connecting wirelessly to your Wi-Fi network. As long as you’re iPhone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your computer, then you should be able to walk around anywhere in your house without being stuck.For example, right now I’m walking up the stairs and trying to see whether I can still connect to my computer – – – trying to see whether it’s recording everything I say – – – this would be impossible with the Calisto Bluetooth wireless headset because the moment I’m out of the range of the Bluetooth receiver, it stops working. Let’s see what happens. If I return back downstairs, I see that Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.5 has picked up all of my beautiful words.Hands down, using the Dragon microphone iOS app gives you a lot more freedom to walk around the house than the Bluetooth wireless headset that comes with the premium package, or the wired headset, obviously. It would be cool to see what kind of results you could get with an iPhone and a Bluetooth headset paired with your iPhone.
• This is a quick and easy way for you to dictate notes on your computer. You may not always have your Dragon NaturallySpeaking wireless headset or wired microphone, but, chances are, in this day and age, you always have your iPhone pretty handy. (Sometimes wearing those headsets can look pretty geeky. Speaking into your phone may not be as geeky. Speaking into the top of your iPad – definitely pretty geeky.)
• If you already own an iPhone, then you can save yourself hundred bucks and still speak to your computer wirelessly. The Calisto wireless headset is around $100 if you buy bundled with Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.5 wireless premium. (If you buy it separately, then it can cost around $150.) (If you’re a student, then you can save the hundred bucks by buying the educational version of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11, but you might want to read these 10 things first)
• When you’re using the iPhone or iPad Dragon microphone app, you can always tell exactly how much battery life your iPhone or iPad has left. When you use the Calisto Bluetooth wireless headset, it’s hard to know exactly how much battery life you have left on the device. It seems that Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 works better when the Bluetooth headset is fully charged. I would imagine that the “10 hours” of battery life that you get with an iPad 2 is longer than the battery charge on the Calisto Bluetooth headset.

Problems with using the Dragon NaturallySpeaking app (Dragon Remote Microphone app) on the iPad 2:

• The app seems to be a little glitchy. Three times during the writing of this post, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.5 simply stopped listening to the iPad. The microphone on off button still works, but anything that was said simply didn’t get recorded on the computer. Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 had to be shut down and restarted in order for the Dragon microphone app to work again. (Simply restarting the Dragon microphone app didn’t work because then an error would pop up: “cannot connect to computer. Another Dragon remote microphone is connected to your computer.” Unreliable technologies are always a little frustrating.
• The Dragon Remote Microphone app doesn’t work in the background. iOS 5 allows you to use a hand swipe to switch between apps. If you do that while you’re using the Dragon microphone app,Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 on your computer still indicates that the microphone is on, even though it’s not really listening.Your iPad will show the little red bar at the top saying that the microphone is recording, but it’s not. When you switch back to the Dragon microphone app, however, it will resume recording your voice and transcribing it on your computer.It might’ve been nice to speak into your computer while playing angry birds, but we’re not there yet.
• Speaking into a microphone headset always looks a little geeky. If you were speaking into the Dragon microphone app on your iPhone, then it would look just like you were talking into your phone. Speaking into the microphone at the top of an iPad 2 definitely looks pretty geeky.Of course it goes without saying that an iPad 2 is a lot clunkier and heavier than an iPhone or your wireless Bluetooth headset.After this post, I can’t really see myself using the Dragon microphone app on the iPad simply because I like to use a combination of voice and keyboard/mouse control when using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.5. Sure, you can select words with one hand using the mouse, but sometimes, if you want to train Dragon NaturallySpeaking, you need to type in what you actually said, and that requires two hands at the keyboard.

All in all, the Dragon NaturallySpeaking app (Dragon Remote Microphone app) looks like it has a lot of potential. Wps office in hindi language. if you’re using an iPhone, and not an iPad.

I have decided to undertake a series of posts regarding apps, software programs, devices, and workflows that I use and that I find really helpful and fabulous–or even just useful in small ways, and which facilitate my projects.

I begin with Dragon dictation, a software app that can be downloaded for free, onto your iPhone or iPad, and allows you to dictate notes or thoughts or any other such verbal rantings and ramblings into your phone or iPad.

Dragon Dictation Reviews

One of the strengths of this app is that it’s reasonably accurate (it transcribed “tsarists” as “guitarists” at one point, but that’s somewhat understandable) It’s fairly stable. It is also really helpful if you’re like me, in that you are sometimes stuck with a blank page and an equally blank mind and need to get stuff written. With Dragon dictation, tapping “record” and starting to talk about what you’re wanting to work on, literally fills the pages and can sometimes break that block and get the ideas flowing. As such, it can be a key first step when deadlines are looming and inspiration is scarce.

One of the other things that I really like about it is that it allows you to explore a different idiom. It’s really striking, once you see what you’ve dictated, written on the page, how different your spoken idiom can be to your written way of expressing yourself. It’s a fascinating exercise in itself, but also a useful way to switch things up a little.

The iPhone version is fairly basic, featuring a dictation interface that then transcribes it over the Internet. If you navigate away from the app by pressing the home screen, without first copying, you will lose your dictation. Sometimes, the previous dictation remains intact if you just swap apps rather an navigating away, but it’s best to copy your content every time navigate out of the app. On the iPad, there is no such difficulty. You can save multiple dictations as notes, edit the dictations within the app (this one feature is also an option on the iPhone) and undo the last dictation or delete the entire note (with the iPhone app, you have to press the home button and then return to the app in order to clear the previous dictation).

Some of the problems: the program can be a little bit unstable. For instance, with the first verbal draft that I made of this post, I was editing it with a little pop-up keyboard within the app. I went to switch orientations, in order to activate wider keyboard, and the app crashed. I lost the draft, because it hadn’t saved automatically.

To be fair however, it hadn’t taken me all that long to dictate the first draft. As well, I think the second draft is a lot clearer. Aisin warner. It is better structured and better organized–so possibly the loss was for the best. But still, knowing there is that instability means that I can take precautionary measures next time.
