Dragon dictation

I'm testing a new iPhone application known as Dragon dictation. As its
name implies it allows you to dictate into your phone then the
software will transcribe your voice into text which you can then copy
as plain text sent you a text message in other words the SMS
application on your phone or send it as an e-mail.

This entire message was dictated into Dragon dictation and copied and
pasted into an e-mail. As you can see the quality is excellent but
there are still a few small mistakes. Nice feature of dragon dictation
is the ability to dictate punctuation such as "" ,; and! To name a
few. Let's try this: () curly braces {}. I must say I'm quite impact
impressed with the quality of transcription the application provides.

To find Dragon dictation search for it in the Apple iTunes store on
your iPhone or within iTunes itself. Did I also mention you can start
a new paragraph by saying

We'll see how well this turns out. That's pretty cool I said "

" And it translated that into it.

Rather than text.
