Nuance stellte Ende September mit Dragon Recorder (kostenlos; App Store-Link) eine kleine Diktat-App in den iOS-Store. Darüber aufgezeichnete Audio-Notizen, die natürlich auch mit jeder anderen iPhone-Software erstellt werden können, lassen sich zu dessen Niederschrift (PC) oder (OS X) vorlegen. Das Problem: Beide Programme kosten jeweils über 100 Euro. Wer auf die Technik aus gleichem Haus, nur ein wenig günstiger, zugreifen möchte, installiert Dragon Dictation (kostenlos; universal; App Store-Link) und mailt sich die eingesprochenen und anschließend in Schriftzeichen übersetzten Textblöcke zu. Das funktioniert zwar, ist aber viel zu umständlich. Deshalb rufen wir Pastebot (2.99 €; App Store-Link), einen alten Bekannten mit pfeilschnellem Push der Zwischenablage, wieder auf den Plan. Kurze Anmerkung zum Video: Die Spracheingabe und dessen anschließende Übersetzung funktioniert auch mit einer grammatikalisch korrekten und obendrein sinnvollen Satzsyntax. Read More

Nuance is out with the Dragon Recorder iOS app, allowing its Dragon customers to use an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch as a voice recorder to capture their own voice, and then transcribe the recordings into any application on the Mac or PC with Dragon speech recognition. According to the official press release, more than half of Nuance’s current Dragon customers have requested a way to use their smartphones to capture their thoughts on the go. In that sense, the iOS app is just a start and we expect to see the application hitting other platforms like Android and Windows Phone in the near future. Aside from audio recording (in WAV format), Dragon Recorder also allows users to playback, fast forward, rewind and append to their recordings as necessary and then use either iTunes or a Wi-Fi network, to transfer their audio files from the mobile device to their PC or Read More

It's all about speech on the iPhone 4S, from the systemwide dictation features to the inscrutable but very helpful Siri assistant. The fine folks at Nuance (suppliers of some of the underlying IP that powers the 4S voice savvy) have made a big move into the mobile space; the company already has a suite of iOS apps that cover several speech-related functions. There's Dragon Dictation for text entry, Dragon Go! and Search for finding what you need, Dragon for SalesForce to work with your CRM system, two Dragon Medical apps for search and recording, and the Dragon Remote Mic app that turns your iPhone or iPod touch into a networked microphone for the company's desktop dictation apps (Dragon Dictate for Mac or NaturallySpeaking for Windows). Now there's another member of this growing family: the Dragon Recorder app. Dragon Recorder is a free and straightforward voice recording app designed to pair with Read More
