I was told about the dragon app one morning at a networking breakfast meeting and thought that seems like a good idea, I’ll download that and give it a go. The app is a speech to text dictation tool, whereby you dictate into the iphone and your speech is converted into copiable text. As an example, here I am in the app now and I’m speaking the text which you are now reading.

So as far as the app goes, it works quite well, it’s free and is easy to use. A little thought and care is needed when using the app, as mistakes can creep in, plus when you’re speaking, it’s not the same as typing and you have to concentrate on what you’re saying and add punctuation manually when required. This is easy to do as you can pop up a keyboard to edit the text at anytime.

All in all though, as I said, the app works quite well and I have dictated most of this, well in fact all of this post to you via the app, which has been copied and pasted into this post. That, in my books, is a result.
