Last night, I had to work on an assignment for my online class. I was tired of typing and I didn’t want to be inside anymore (it was 7:30pm or so).
As I had my iPhone with me, I decided to try Dragon’s Dictation program (see here and here). I have to say…it was very easy-to-use, very convenient and a huge time-saver!
I simply tapped the screen to start recording my voice, and then tapped the screen again when I was done speaking. The application returned to me the text of what I had just said. I was then able to email that text to myself and put it into my web page (later on) for my assignment for class.
Very helpful…very interesting.
Here are some example screenshots from Apple:
Related to this is the ability to put audio feedback directly into a Word document — my thanks to Professor Julie Yonker at Calvin College for this insight and huge time-saver!
