Report an issueDragon Dictation is an easy-to-use voice recognition application powered by Dragon® NaturallySpeaking® that allows you to easily speak and instantly see your text or email messages. In fact, it’s up to five (5) times faster than typing on the keyboard.
With Dragon Dictation you can also dictate status updates directly to your Social Networking applications (Facebook and Twitter) or send notes and reminders to yourself….all using your voice. So when you’re on-the-go, stop typing and start speaking – from short text messages to longer email messages, and anything in between.
Dragon Dictation supports a multitude of global languages. For a full list of currently supported languages visit www.dragonmobileapps.com.
REVIEWS
Press Reviews:
David Pogue - The New York Times : “I’m finding Dragon to be a much faster, more efficient way to spit out e-mail messages, notes, text messages and Twitter updates. It’s really, really cool.”
Mel Martin - TUAW.com: “Put this into the ‘I didn’t think they could ever get this to work on an iPhone’ category. I’m talking about Dragon Dictation from Nuance, the developers of the very popular Dragon Naturally Speaking for the PC.”
Arik Hesseldahl – BusinessWeek: “For the last few days I’ve been trying two Nuance iPhone apps, Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search on my iPhone. And while they’re not the first voice search or dictation apps for the iPhone, I certainly like the results I’ve been getting.”
iTunes Reviews:
Miker55 – “It’s understood everything I’ve said. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been driving and wanted to text someone but couldn’t. This app is great!!!”
Twebs – “For me Dragon dictation is a game changing application. The accuracy is outstanding and it’s very easy to use. I immediately notified everyone I know with an iPhone to pick up this application while it’s still free.”
Redman042 – “I can’t believe my iPhone can do this. Accuracy is amazingly good and transcription is very fast. You can’t even tell that transcription is being done online. I’m very very impressed.”

8 of 25The app was great until I updated my phone over a month ago and now that app don’t work. I used this for work.
Please update this app to work with ISO 11. At this point this app is worthless for my students because it does not work on our platform. Thank you.
Needs to be updated
Great app to do my rough chapter outlines and character development on but iOS says it needs to be updated for iOS 11 because it slows down the speed of the system. Please update it so it can continue to be one of the best on the AppStore. Thanks. Joe.
Dragon needs to fix this app. My iPad just updated everything but Dragon
Was using this app every week Please update
I had high hopes for this app. I was hoping that this app will help my life, especially with note taking. When I opened it, I did a test run and the accuracy was pretty spot on. However when I tried to use the keyboard to add words, it crashed on me three times. Darn... what a bummer.
When can we get the update to this app
