Nuance Build On Their iOS Portfolio With Another App – Dragon Recorder for iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch (4G)

Nuance Dragon Recorder iOS iPhone iPad App for recording your voice

Dragon Recorder just released by Nuance is a new app designed specifically to record your spoken voice for playback into either Dragon NaturallySpeaking (Windows – Premium & Professional edition only) or MacSpeech Scribe (Mac), known as deferred transcription. Perfect for those who need to record their thoughts, notes and letters when they are not sitting in front of their computer.

Obviously digital voice recorders currently play a big role in the spoken voice market and also a quick look on the iTunes app store you will find hundreds of voice recording apps. Makes total sense that Nuance want to move in to this space and control it on iOS devices. Their new app called Dragon Recorder is similar to just about every other voice recording app out there, it is fairly basic and very easy to use. One key feature that is missing in this and most other voice recording apps is an insert/overwrite feature. Insert and overwrite lets you, when reviewing your audio, insert more dictation within the audio file or remove chunks of dictation from within the audio file like sentences or paragraphs.

Dropbox – File Sharing At Its Best

August 5, 2011August 5, 2011 by @dictates

One common question at the Dictate Australia HQ is about files, specifically how can we get large audio files created on digital voice recorders to our colleagues or to a typist. With high quality audio recording the norm now and huge amounts of storage on all digital voice recorders audio can and often is very large in file size. Unfortunately email has not moved with the times and the majority of mail servers restrict email attachments to between 5mb and 10Mb in size, probably rightly so, email is not an ideal way to move large files around.

This is where Dropbox comes in.

Nuance Bump Dragon NaturallySpeaking to 11.5 – Embraces iPhone & Social Media

December 8, 2011July 2, 2011 by @dictates

Some excitement over the last couple of weeks with rumours abound that Nuance have done a deal with Apple and have signed some kind of agreement to use their voice recognition technology in the up coming iOS5 release for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Since Siri was gobbled up by Apple back in 2010 we have all been waiting to see what Apple will do with the voice controlled concierge and the theory is Dragon will be used to power the new Apple stamped version of Siri when it finally emerges. These are just rumours for now but rumours which are growing in substance.

Quick Look – Nuance Dictation Voice To Text for iPad – iPhone – iPod Touch

Nuance Dragon Dictation app For iPhone iPad iPod Touch

I have a friend who is new to the iPhone, the other day he asked me if I knew of a good app that would convert speech to text on his iPhone so that he could speak an SMS message instead of typing it. He had been looking on the Australian iTunes store and didn’t find anything that grabbed him, I pulled my iPhone and demonstrated flawlessly the power of Dragon and the Nuance Dictation app.

Of course he was impressed, my speech was instantly transcribed and the resulting text ready to be sent as a text message. As we are all a social bunch the text transcribed is not just restricted to being sent in a text message. You can also email, tweet or Facebook text aswell as copy to a clipboard ready to paste into any other application on your touch device. So what is this magic and how does it work.
