REVIEWS
Press Reviews:
David Pogue - The New York Times : “I’m finding Dragon to be a much faster, more efficient way to spit out e-mail messages, notes, text messages and Twitter updates. It’s really, really cool.”
Mel Martin - TUAW.com: “Put this into the ‘I didn’t think they could ever get this to work on an iPhone’ category. I’m talking about Dragon Dictation from Nuance, the developers of the very popular Dragon Naturally Speaking for the PC.”
Arik Hesseldahl – BusinessWeek: “For the last few days I’ve been trying two Nuance iPhone apps, Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search on my iPhone. And while they’re not the first voice search or dictation apps for the iPhone, I certainly like the results I’ve been getting.”
iTunes Reviews:
Miker55 – “It’s understood everything I’ve said. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been driving and wanted to text someone but couldn’t. This app is great!!!”
Twebs – “For me Dragon dictation is a game changing application. The accuracy is outstanding and it’s very easy to use. I immediately notified everyone I know with an iPhone to pick up this application while it’s still free.”
Redman042 – “I can’t believe my iPhone can do this. Accuracy is amazingly good and transcription is very fast. You can’t even tell that transcription is being done online. I’m very very impressed.”

Changed My Life!
Cindy Featherbottom
This app has changed my life. I am a college student who does not type papers, instead I hand-write them and then type them as I type them. Using the software, I am able to speak my papers to my phone without typing at all. What would typically take me an hour or two hours to do now takes me 10 to 20 minutes to do. I am in love with this app. Copy-paste function is easy, and the words are usually accurate. There were only about 10 incorrect words out of 5 hand-written pages of text that I dictated. The text is easy to edit and copies nicely into other documents. Yes, it does stop recording sometimes. I'm able to see this, however, and pause where I am to move the text to a document, clear the text from the Dragon app, then start where I left off. I am very impressed.

This going to be a five star app once landscape view is available for the IPhone as it already is for the IPad.
Brilliant and stupid in the same app
Rdman33
The dictation engine is brilliant, amazing, and words that I can't even think of to describe how great it is but this app is unfinished. It is hampered by stupid things like there's no way to delete the old text and start a new recording. So it works one time then you have to reboot the phone to use it again?
A tool in the kit of productivity

At the end of the day, the white board in the office may have 2 ideas I’d never put together before. At the end of a client call, my notebook may have a reminder to follow up on a promise. At the end of dinner with friends, my mind might be full with the 3 things we talked about that I want to follow up on at work tomorrow. Enter Dragon Anywhere… I’ve been using the product for a while - mind you, I’m a fan and have used Dragon to publish all three books I’ve written as well as HUNDREDS of articles - and can tell you it’s one of FOUR apps on the home screen of my iPhone. It’s front and center when I launch my phone. When I see it I ask, “Is there anything I need to get out of my head and in to print?” Most recent use-case: On my drive to LAX Tuesday night, I opened the app and for about an hour I dictated notes that all went straight into my email inbox. At the airport, I pulled those notes up, did minimal editing, and sent 3-5 paragraph emails out to 14 people...
recommended if you want to have a headache.

You want a headache? Download this app. You open the app, and ok, you speak and it types... But if you had a unrecognized word or simply want to delete, is a headache.. Besides if you want to copy (to paste elsewhere on your phone including text messages) is almost impossible as it will only highlight a word (not the whole text) and you will end up fighting with your thumb trying to highlight the rest of phrase... And good luck if copy and paste option pops-up. I will recommended if you want to waste your time. Just
Needs an update

I downloaded this app a couple years ago. It's ok, but far from great. It saves me time in my writing, but I have to spend a lot of time correcting and cleaning up the text. It gets a lot of words wrong and doesn't get punctuation at all. It sometimes locks up-and I lose what I dictated. It should autosave to the cloud, and it should give you more dictation time before processing. I would think after 3+ years this company would have made some updates and improvements to this app-talk about resting on your laurels! Technology has come a long way over the past few years-get with the program Dragon!
