Good speech recognition, UI needs work
Jimgreer
The speech recognition works well. But the UI is a little too clunky. I really need to be able to copy text and then come back and dictate something new, without having to switch to keyboard mode select all and clear and then hit record again. It only clears automatically when you send an SMS or email which is silly.
Needs better info as to app's behavior

I loved this app right up till I finished my dictation, and decided to email to myself so I could review away from iPad. If you do this, it DELETES the dictation from the app!!! What does it not SAY THAT?!?
A fairly great app to use

I've been using it for about 5 months now and it really does what it says. Helped my out a lot. Homework! Reports! Presentations!. It just makes everything faster.
Utterly useless

I had high hopes for this app seeing as how Dragon is a highly recognized name and there were some great reviews here. But it's not making my transcription easy at all! I have these hour plus files and it craps out after barely 2 minutes. If god forbid it actually did what it was supposed to do and TRANSCRIBE, I get a whole bunch of gibberish. Please make a product that actually works and does what it says it will do.
Not a high-quality solution

This app works for very short notes, but it's both ancient and cumbersome. The app doesn't make use of any of the newer iOS APIs for audio which would allow for background execution. Instead, the app stops recording when the device's display goes to sleep, which makes it pretty useless for extended dictation unless you remember to disable the iOS display lock every time you use it.
No bad

Not bad, not great. When in dictation mode it got 80% of the words correctly. The ones it got wrong were kind of cumbersome to correct and it crashes a lot in editing mode.
Not as good as Siri.
RiversideReviewer
You still need to look at the phone to start and stop it. Needs at least a help file. Don't know how to get carriage return/ new line. Don't know how to enter quotes and other special chars. Very slow. Accesses web for each phrase spoken.
Blaahhh
Ugh No More Ads
I have tried so many times and in so many ways to give this app a valid try. It is so remedial. It will only record maybe every fifth word. It is difficult to use the app as use expect so much more from such a great idea. I get frustrated with the lack of creativity and genius that went into dragon.
