Dragon Search iPhone is my friend when I am on long drives and bored. I would just dictate stuff to this app and send tweets, text messages and even emails with this app.
This little app from Nuance – who also makes desktop speech recognition software is functional and useful. But this app was very limited in what it could do.
Remember the app Siri which Apple bought? The app that can take your voice inputs to do a search on just about anything?
Nuance has now released a free app called Dragon Go! which is more like Siri and leaves the Dragon Search app in the dust.
Dragon Go! can process your voice commands in a multitude of ways. You can use it launch Pandora and play a song, you can lookup news information, find what people are saying about a movie on twitter, go to wikipedia for information, etc.
By default, Dragon Go! uses Google but you can switch to Bing or Yahoo. The results are organized by sources in the form of tabs at the top. You can swipe left or right and change the results.
You can even easily share the results by email, text message, Facebook or Twitter.
With an app like Dragon Go!, the way you use it is only limited by your iimaginetion. I now have Dragon go! front and center in my iPhone dock.
Dragon Go! is a free app available on the iPhone only at the moment. But, an iPad and Android app are in the making.
Now, if you will excuse me I have to go talk to my ‘little dragon’ iPhone 4.
