Stop Worrying- Start Speaking: Dragon Dictation Update Resolves Privacy Concerns

(JPEG Image, 320x480 pixels)-5-1.jpg

I have made no secret of my excitement that Dragon Dictation is now out and available for US iPhone users. The app has transformed my iPhone usage and continues to be one of my most-used apps. The transcription process is fast, accurate and, currently, free.

When the app was first released last week however some folks expressed concern that the app uploaded your contact list to Dragon’s servers when starting it for the first time. Well worry not! A new update makes the contact upload process optional. It also allows you to delete contact names that were previously uploaded.

Dragon Dictation isn’t for everyone but for many of us it is already a home run. Grab it HERE.

About Dan Cohen

View all posts by Dan Cohen
Having a father who was heavily involved in early laser and fiber-optical research, Dan grew up surrounded by technology and gadgets. Dan’s father brought home one of the very first video games when he was young and Dan remembers seeing a “pre-release” touchtone phone. (When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”) Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him.

    i updated to 1.1.0, but the interface isn’t entirely clear on how to delete names that have already been uploaded. i’m guessing its the “recognize names” option.
