Dragon Dictation – Speech-to-text translation

Speech-to-text translation isn’t a new idea, but Dragon Dictation for the iPhone turns the concept into a functional reality. The app makes it easy for you to dictate notes, e-mails or text messages, which are then instantly converted to text. With a click of the button, you can go on to send your dictated text via e-mail or SMS, or to save it to the clipboard. Best of all, Dragon Dictation is completely free (for a limited time).

The application itself has a minimalist design: When you launch it, you’ll be able to hit a button and record your dictation — and that’s it. After the initial voice-to-text transcription, you can also edit via text or voice, replace poorly transcribed words with suggested alternatives and select words or phrases to delete.

Dragon Search - Search the entire web with your voice

The app’s design is very simple to use and lightening fast. After you launch it, simply click the red button to say your search query. Hit “done” and you’ve just searched practically the entire web with your voice. Results are displayed on single page views per search engine, and you can use your finger to quickly scroll through the horizontal toolbar to arrive at your destination of choosing.
