Smooth and Sharp

Great app. Indispensable for my writing. Very few miscues on vocabulary. The iPhone mike works very well but a good plug in mike makes the handling and comfort dictating even better. Highly recommend.
Warning! Cannot stop 7 day trial

Purchased this for an elderly person to write life story but the diction would not work for them. When we tried to cancel, there was no where to stop the trial. I was told to go to manage subscriptions, all that allowed me to do was to stop it from renewing, it would not refund the $149. Then SOMEWHERE (I have been bounced around from iTunes store to Nuance Communications and back and forth) I read NO REFUNDS. This is unacceptable practices. Buyer beware.
Could be a reliable tool

I’m actually using Apple’s dictating software at the moment to write this review. Ironic! For dragon anywhere to become my go to dictating to it needs to be more flexible, be multilingual, better integrate with iOS apps and most of all, most of all, not crash so regularly. I look forward to a version that delivers 100% instead of been hampered by fears that it might cannibalize sales from other product lines. Dragon would go from being anywhereAnd also for everyone. Happy Chinese new year
A Shadow of the Real Deal

If you are used to using the desktop version of Dragon; especially if you have a dictation mic, do not expect anywhere near the same level of accuracy on the app. I cannot say if it is the lower quality phone mic or if the cloud-based diction capabilities are less potent then their desktop version, but the app is simply not in the same class. It may be better than Siri; but it’s accuracy is too poor to be a time saving productivity booster (which the desktop version most definitely is). The number of and degree of the errors make it impossible for even me to decipher the original intent - and I’m the one doing the dictating! TLDR: Not Worth It
Error Messages

Whenever I start dictating I get an error message that says my subscription has expired. I just renewed entire year. Why does this error keep popping up? Otherwise a reliable dictation app. I do wish the UI, particularly help and tutorials, was a bit more intuitive and directly accessible.
Steep learning curve but the best quality dictation for iPhone
White Knight 3
It took me several weeks to get through the learning curve and figure out all the arbitrary commands and workarounds. But it’s an amazing dictation system overall, which lets you dictate even technical documents. I’m also impressed with the ability to integrate files and macros into your dictation.

Excellent tool five star rating. Excellent for dictating daily reports, toolbox talks, communications to owners and architects. Spectacular timesaver currently using on iPad purchased original DVDs
So grateful for this technology

This technology is so important for people today. Writers needed to put their thoughts onto paper without being too tedious. I’m so incredibly grateful that this technology exists. This app is extremely accurate I would say like 98% if you speak clearly and enunciate. The small minor mistakes are easily corrected, and you can go back and see what you meant to say because the mistake is so small. The only request that I would make about this new anywhere app is I wish they had a way to import MP3 files so those can be transcribed. Since we pay $150 a year for this app I think that we should have that feature because that’s the same amount we would be paying for the professional individual in two years time. Plus, not everyone wants to download software on their computer. I use exclusively my iPhone and iPad, so it’s imperative for me to have an app rather than software; I know that many are going this route. I really hope that Nuance gets on board with this and provides this transcribing feature. Being able to import the MP3 files that we could either email ourselves into our iPad, and save it to our Apple files or the iCloud, and then import it into the app through an import button that connects to our iCloud would be amazing. This could be a premium subscription for like $20 a month and I would totally pay it. Other than that everything else is wonderful. There are many ways to export my files; I wish though, that we were able to export them into Scrivener app. So many authors use that app. Overall though, this is the BEST APP THERE IS ON THE MARKET. Nuance seems committed to striving for perfection and future proofing its customers. Please add the transcribing feature to the app.
WTH?

I tried a trial of this in 2016 and found it great. Now I’m trying it again and it’s all messed up. Every time I try to reset my password it crashes. I tried reinstalling but that didn’t work. I already had to call tech support to get initial access to it because it kept getting “cannot contact server” errors. What happened, Nuance?
