REVIEWS
Press Reviews:
Mel Martin - TUAW: “The iTunes integration is quite nice. Say 'Harold Budd', for example, and click the iTunes icon and you'll see what the iTunes store has to sell. Or you can search Wikipedia or Google and learn all about him.”
Greg Kumparack - MobileCrunch: “The design of the application is rather clever…you can flip between them [results] on a whim via the carousel at the top…”
Jennifer Van Grove - Mashable: "We were left practically speechless by the quality of Dragon Dictation, an iPhone app that does instant speech-to-text transcription. The same company has just unveiled their latest iPhone offering — Dragon Search — and it’s just as impressive as the first." “The app is stupidly simple to use and lightening fast...”
iTunes Reviews:
Np2244 – “I just downloaded dragon search and it is incredible. I couldn’t ask for something so fast, accurate and versatile. I mean, search all facets of the web in one fell swoop. I love it. You let me search facebook too and it’s better than sliced bread.”
Bootareen – “It has a very simple interface and convenient scroll bar on top to switch the source of your search. The sources switch instantly, I don’t know how they do it but its super efficient and convenient.”
Vsqa – “Hands-down the best damn voice search app on the app store. Amazingly fast and accurate. Bug free product great work.”

8 of 25Useful "at times" on iPhone/PAD, however needs some bug fixes. Crashes "far to often" and can be frustrating to work with at times ~ very spotty. Works @ times, while for no reasons doesn't work at other times. Developer has some work to do in my view ...
I can't even open this app since the update. Please fix.
I absolutely am amazed by this app. 2 requests... - Please make a iPad/iPad2 version - I would love to command my iPad2 with your soft wear. Keep up the good work! Thx
