Pushing on with their love of all things iOS Nuance have just released another iOS app bringing their voice scentric portfolio to four apps.

Dragon Recorder is their new app and it is a voice recording app which can be used on iPhone, iPad and 4th Gen iPod touch. It is a fairly basic digital voice recording app and records your spoken voice in the .WAV audio format.

The idea behind this app is to raise awareness of the transcription from recorded voice functionality of the Premium and Professional edition for Dragon NaturallySpeaking on Windows and also for the dedicated recorded voice to text product on the Mac the legacy product from MacSpeech called Scribe.

MacSpeech Dictate - Version 1.2 Quick Look At Whats New Video

Now that the new version of MacSpeech Dictate, version 1.2, has been out for a few days we are now starting to get our teeth into the new functionality and features introduced in this release.


Spelling mode has finally arrived. This gives the user the ability to spell out words, acronyms, abbreviations or anything that MacSpeech Dictate is not able to interpret. This will be a great addition to the features of MacSpeech Dictate.


Phrase training has also been introduced. This is a very smart feature, as MacSpeech Dictate analyzes what you are saying, possible matching phrases appear in a "Recognition" window. If the spoken phrase required is not the one transcribed by Dictate the Recognition window will show a list of alternate phrases. The user simply needs to "pick" the corresponding number next to the required phrase and Dictate will insert that phrase instead. This has two major benefits, 1. it increases the speed of transcription as time is not wasted amending the dictation and 2. this process actually helps improve the accuracy of Dictate over time as it learns from your speech and dictation patterns.

These two new features can be seen briefly in our lastest MacSpeech Dictate YouTube video below.
