Thanks to some uber-geek I imagine living in a small room surrounded by blinking lights and anime porn, I can now text and drive safely.  In other words… SUCK IT CALIFORNIA!!!!!

the eh-not-bad Dragon Dictation speak to text app has been around for a little while.  And while it’s always been a decent app with decent capabilities, I suppose it’s been a safe way to drive and write (text, email, facebook, etc.) all along.  But with clumsy interface and the need to still look at the screen a bunch, it was kinda pointless.

Then that super nerd I mentioned learned a thing or two, and we have a winner (mostly).  You still have to glance down to choose the recipient of said text/email/etc., but I mean come on… we all look away from the road a little.  Right?  Just nod, and we’ll move on.  open app… touch screen… talk… and send.  You won’t even have to put down the hamburger your eating, or make-up you’re applying, or any of the other things that are perfectly legal to do while driving… but just as distracting.

Price-tag for the Dragon Dictation (I like calling it the Dragon Dictator because it sounds kinda evil) – FREEEEEeeeeee…..

How to Video: HERE, something about that guy makes me want to punch him.

Press Reviews

“I’m finding Dragon to be a much faster, more efficient way to spit out e-mail messages, notes, text messages and Twitter updates. It’s really, really cool.” – David Pogue The New York Times“Put this into the ‘I didn’t think they could ever get this to work on an iPhone™‘ category. I’m talking about Dragon Dictation from Nuance, the developers of the very popular Dragon Naturally Speaking for the PC.”– Mel Martin TUAW.com“For the last few days I’ve been trying two Nuance iPhone apps, Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search on my iPhone™. And while they’re not the first voice search or dictation apps for the iPhone, I certainly like the results I’ve been getting.”– Arik Hesseldahl BusinessWeek

iTunes™ Reviews

“It’s understood everything I’ve said. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been driving and wanted to text someone but couldn’t. This app is great!!!” – Miker55 via iTunes™ “For me Dragon dictation is a game changing application. The accuracy is outstanding and it’s very easy to use. I immediately notified everyone I know with an iPhone to pick up this application while it’s still free.”– TWebs via iTunes™ “I can’t believe my iPhone can do this. Accuracy is amazingly good and transcription is very fast. You can’t even tell that transcription is being done online. I’m very very impressed.”– Redman042 via iTunes™
