"Pretty Good"
Version: Dragon Dictation 1.3.4
Pros
I been finding it gets about 95 to 99% of words right, depending on how many consonants there are in the word. The more complex the word the more likely an error.
However, it sure beats typing on a on-screen keyboard.Cons
The biggest downsides are big, is that the App is absolutely terrible in punctuating & editing. Tried delaying my my speech to insert a period or create a paragraph but that didn?t work. Nor does saying the word "period" or "paragraph" help.
Summary
The on screen editing is also very clumsy and manipulating the touch cursor proved to be extremely difficult.
If you can get the cursor to go where you want it & insert two spaces, the app automatically inserts the period - but it is an irritating two step process.
I suggest the developers put a few basic punctuation buttons on the record screen so that one can force a paragraph, period, comma and similar often used marks. Nonetheless, as I stated at the beginning. It beats typing & its free. -
"Nice price, fun app"
Version: Dragon Dictation 1.3.2
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Dragon Dictation is an amazing little app. It works well, and of course, it makes mistakes, but as far as transcription goes, it does an awesome job and saves you tons of typing. And it's free!
