This version has all the needed features for daily use – Express Dictate Dictation App Review

I have used this app and the similar PC based version for some time. The previous version was quite useable but lacked a couple of key features. This version resolves those issues. Specifically, the newest version provides for automatically splitting the file in smaller parts so as to email without problems. The PC based version did this but it was left off the mobile version. Additionally, you could not easily retrieve files that were long other than re-recording them to another device - easily being the key word. . This version allows for transfer of files within iTunes. The combination of these two features in addition to the already wonderful simplicity and reliability makes it a worthwhile contender. I used the PC version for thousands of dictations. I have used Pocket dictate for several hundred on the iPhone and a couple of hundred on the iPad as well. I would recommend highly and I currently use it multiple times a day. Some in our office do not like the 'trust' one must have when the screen goes blank and times out but it keeps recording without incident. They like to look at their handheld digital recorder and see that it is working or hear the feedback from the phone in dictation system. They also do not particularly like the fact that you have to go through the swipe, enter passcode process on the iPhone once it goes into screensaver mode (although it continues to record). They want to press a button and have it immediately available - a limitation of the hardware and Apple more than anything else at this point. All in all a great app. Try it today. **Update in response to Apple's latest IOS update Sept 2012** This remains one of my most used and favorite apps. However, since the latest IOS update I have encountered some issues. Most notably, a press on the record button does not start recording. I have to press stop then record again and it will start recording. Please keep this great program up to date. I would be happy to support a paid version of this app.
