iPhone App Transcribes Speech Into E-Mail, SMS
Posted in: Apple, apps, iPhone, Phones, Today's Chili
The iPhone’s touchscreen is pleasant to tap, but writing a long message gets tiring. A speech recognition app called Dragon Dictation addresses that by transcribing your speech into text, which can then be copied into an e-mail or text message.
The app’s interface is dead simple. Launch the app, hit the record button and start talking. Dragon Dictation immediately sends your speech to software developer Nuance’s server, whose algorithm analyzes your speech. After the app spits out text, you can tap any inaccurate words and hit delete, then choose to send the text via e-mail or SMS. You can also store transcribed messages into your clipboard.
Pretty neat. From our testing, the app is surprisingly fast and not bad with speech recognition (although it does censor out the F word with an asterisk). Dragon Dictation is free for a limited time in the App Store.
