Nuance Launches Dragon Dictation for iPad

Nuance Communications today launched Dragon Dictation for iPad on the Apple App Store.

With the newest addition to the Dragon Dictation family, iPad users can take advantage of the power of Dragon NaturallySpeaking to speak their email messages. The app also includes a new Dragon Dictation Notes feature that lets users speak and save drafts of documents, email, to-do lists, social media status updates, and more.

“Dragon Dictation has proven to be a must-have app for iPhone and iPod touch, so it made sense to immediately extend those benefits to iPad,” said Michael Thompson, senior vice president and general manager, Nuance Mobile. “The iPad is a unique and remarkable device, and with the Dragon Dictation App users can experience added flexibility and convenience as they quickly convert speech into text.”

The Dragon Dictation App can turn spoken words into text up to five times faster than typing. This latest edition is designed specifically for iPad and capitalizes on the large screen size to include the new Dragon Dictation Notes feature, where dictated text can be saved, viewed, and managed. The app can also be used in either portrait or landscape mode.
