Nuance unveils Dragon Recorder appOct 24, 2011 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Nuance Communications, Inc, a provider of voice and language solutions, has announced the introduction of the Dragon Recorder app, a free application on the Apple iOS app store which makes it possible for Dragon customers to use an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch as a voice recorder to capture their own voice, and transcribe their recordings into any application on the Mac or PC with Dragon speech recognition. The new app gives Dragon users with an iOS device the freedom and flexibility to use their existing device as a voice recorder, and makes it easy to transcribe their recordings to quickly create notes, meeting minutes, emails, letters, papers, articles, blog posts and more with Dragon speech recognition. The new Dragon Recorder app reportedly allows consumers to use their existing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to dictate recordings, and then transfer these recordings, via iTunes or a wireless network, to their Mac or PC for a quick, easy and accurate transcription with Dragon speech recognition. "We've really focused on delivering more flexibility in Dragon, so that our customers can use Dragon the way that they work and live," said Peter Mahoney, senior vice president and general manager, Dragon, Nuance. "Most recently with the introduction of our Dragon Remote Mic app, we added the ability to use the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch as a wireless mic with Dragon. Now, the Dragon Recorder app takes it a step further by allowing more of our customers to take advantage of remote on-the-go dictation with a device that they are already carrying so that they can capture their creative ideas and thoughts quickly and accurately, no matter where they are." The free Dragon Recorder app allows Dragon customers to dictate text anytime, anywhere, capturing audio files using their existing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Users can play back, fast forward, rewind and append to their recordings as necessary and then use either iTunes or a Wi-Fi network, to transfer their audio files from the mobile device to their PC or Mac for an accurate transcription from Dragon NaturallySpeaking or MacSpeech Scribe. Those customers who require advanced recorder capabilities can continue to rely on Dragon's ability to transcribe audio files from the industry's leading digital voice recorders. The Dragon Recorder app delivers productivity benefits even when the user is away from the desk. Capture thoughts and ideas, or the content of complete documents, by turning the iPhone, iPad or iPod into a digital recorder. The Dragon Recorder app captures audio in .wav format, allowing it to deliver the same audio quality as most standard digital recorders. The Dragon Recorder app installs and runs on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch (4th gen). Files are transferred using Wi-Fi or iTunes. To use the wireless feature, the computer and iPhone must be on the same Wi-Fi network. Dragon NaturallySpeaking required for PC use; MacSpeech Scribe required for Mac use. The new Dragon Recorder app is available as a free download in the Apple App Store with support for English, French and German languages. http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
