Dragon Anywhere Reviews

Better Than a Self Help Book

Maximized Life

I have been a long-time user of Dragon dictation software, and several years back begin using Dragon anywhere on my iOS devices. If you are committed to maximizing your time to achieve a balance, this is where your time and money should be spent. Purchase, learn how to utilize effectively effectively, and you will immediately gain efficiency: emails; reports; white papers; etc. And regardless of what you may read or hear from friends or colleagues, free or less expensive dictation tools simply do not compare... i’ve tried them, save time and money and invest in the best.

This app helped me get through undergrad!

No seriously, I have fleshed out countless papers at this point using Dragon Anywhere. Sure, you will probably want to double check for your editing, but this application is great for getting content and raw ideas on paper. If I were to suggest one minor update for Dragon to implement, I would absolutely love it if there was an active word-count to help users keep track of their progress as they dictate the text. Whenever I have a 20-40 page research paper it can be a little difficult to gauge how much progress I have actually accomplished. Also, a tool for inserting footnotes would also be a huge help for users like myself.

I downloaded this app from the app store on my iPHONE with the most up to date iOS. However no matter how many times I tried to log in, the app would not accept my log in id or password. No on line help, no nothing. Are these guys for real? Dragon always had a reputation for bait and switch, but this goes to a new level. Don't waste your time.

Spectacular design.

There are a few apps on my iPad without which I could not live. I actually believe that Dragon Anywhere performs at a higher level on my iOS devices than it does on full desktop computers. I have taken the time to learn how to do the formatting commands and it makes me a very fast writer. I have written TV scripts, books, and you're not going to believe this, code as in computer code using this app. I have no idea how they have upped the game so far on portable devices. I currently do not even have a wish list for improvements, except, when I read a negative review about this app, I wish there was a way for me to help people realize how powerful a tool it can be.

Created an account THEN downloaded app...still

Still can't sign in. It freezes on exactly the 10th letter of my password every time. Yuck. This is my first toe-dip into Dragon...not impressed.

How do I cancel?

This is a rip off. I can’t sign in. I can’t find it on iTunes to cancel. Want to bet I won’t get an attorney to fix the theft these people perpetuate on the public? Cha Ching...for me!

Word Count

Pricey but worth it. “Word count” would be tremendously helpful.

Horrible app

Unable to create account. Very buggy. Waste of money and time dealing with support.

Waste of money

I’m a writer. I don’t want to futz with an app. I just want it to work. Dragon Anywhere doesn’t. Accuracy is substandard, at best. It requires you to copy and paste your work into Word or Scrivener. Plus, it pauses the recording without any warning. Meaning, you can continue talking and have no idea that the program isn’t tracking what you’re saying. I use a high-end, Shure Mic with my iPad Pro (barely a year old), so the problem isn’t with my equipment. I found Dragon Anywhere too frustrating to work with. “Just Press Record” is a much better option.

This was a great app when it was updated!

I bought this program on Amazon from my PC specifically to use with this app for use with my iPhone 7. I bought an iPhone a plus expecting them to update the app accordingly along side Apple updates. They won’t update this app now so I can’t use Dragon notes in the way I had originally intended. I might have to buy a little microphone for my PC instead:(
