Quick Look At The Dragon Dictation iPhone iPad app

Looking for a way to tweet, email or sms but just using your voice? Well, speech to text is available for the iPhone and iPad thanks to the Nuance Dictation app.

Not only is this a handy little app, I tend to dictate SMS while driving rather than attempt the illegal and type on the phone while driving, it is also an excellent introduction and demonstration of the power of Dragon speech recognition.

No training required, simply select your language from the current choice of five and start dictating. For more info and screen shots check our main blog.

Dragon Dictate for Mac - Volume Site Licence Available for Commercial, Government & Academic use in Australia

For the first time voice recognition for the Mac is available to purchase on a site volume licence in Australia. This is great news, especially for the education/academic organisations looking to get a hold of speech recognition. Since MacSpeech has been transformed by the take over from Nuance the Dragon Dictate software continues to move in the right direction and is definitely a viable alternative for Mac users to Dragon NaturallySpeaking in the Windows space.

The minimum purchase for a site licence is only five installs and can be utilised by education, government and commercial users. There is also an option to buy support and maintenance for Dragon Dictate which although is email only is supported at the first level in Australia and backed up by Nuance in the USA.
