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).<\/p>\n

As I had my iPhone with me, I decided to try Dragon’s Dictation program<\/strong> (see here <\/a><\/strong>and here<\/a><\/strong>). I have to say…it was very easy-to-use, very convenient and a huge time-saver!<\/p>\n

I simply tapped the screen to start recording my voice, and then tapped the screen again when I was done speaking. The application\u00a0returned to me the text of what I had just said.\u00a0 I was then able to email that text to myself\u00a0and put it into my web page (later on) for my assignment for class.<\/p>\n

Very helpful…very interesting.<\/p>\n

Here are some example screenshots from Apple:<\/p>\n

Related to this is the ability to put audio feedback directly into a Word document<\/strong><\/a> — my thanks to Professor Julie Yonker at Calvin College for this insight and huge time-saver!<\/p>\n
