Nuance’s iPhone apps, Dragon and Dragon Search have been available for free download for over a year now. Since then, the company has added a few other similar voice to text apps to its line of desktop and mobile applications. It’s even rumored that Nuance has partnered with Apple to infuse voice commands within the next iPhone. On top of all that, PC users have enjoyed the power and effectiveness of Nuance’s Dragon Naturally Speaking for writing dictation for several years. These voice recognition programs have come a long way, but before you spend the money on a computer version of Dragon Dictate, you might want to practice the art of writing dictation using one of the mobile iOS versions of Dictate , especially the app optimized for the iPad. I’m actually dictating this article using Dragon Dictate for the Mac.

Many schools and classrooms all over are investing in these devices and educators want to know how to use them effectively, apps to consider and more.

I uploaded a couple of videos to my YouTube channel showing some of the enhancements to Speak Selection and AssistiveTouch in IOS 6.
