If you have the right kind of accent and aren't suspicious of apps that mine your data then you should find Dragon Dictation a novel and easy-to-use way of taking notes on the fly. The app has now been updated to make this optional anyway. It claims the reason the data is taken is to aid recognition of the names in your contacts.

One works with both Windows XP and Vista, but not the 64 bit version. There are actually two versions of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 available. eSpeak is an amazing, free (gpl) Windows program, that is part of. The developer of Dragon Dictation said on a iTunes post: "we only upload names, not emails, phone numbers, or other personal details," insisting that they don't even know which of the names is the owner of the phone. If anyone thinks about buying the latest version, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10, you do need to be careful. eSpeak latest version: Text reader in your language. This is mentioned in the EULA, but it may not be clear to all users. Luckily, Dragon Dictation has a text editing feature that lets you go back over your transcripts and correct them manually, but if it makes as many mistakes with you as it did with me you'll probably give up after a while.Īnother issue that many people have noted is the way Dragon Dictation takes users' phone contacts and uploads them to their server. I tried to talk very slowly and even attempted an American accent but to no avail. Perhaps this could be because of my regional British accent, because many reviewers on the App Store are praising the accuracy of Dragon Dictation. In reality, I have to question the accuracy of Dragon Dictation because it never recognized any of the phrases I said during my extensive tests (evidence of which you'll see in the garbled nonsense written in a couple of the screenshots).
