Nuance Introduces Dragon Recorder App for Apple iOS
BURLINGTON, Mass. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Nuance Communications, Inc., (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced 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.
Many Dragon customers already use digital voice recorders to capture
their thoughts on the go, and then transcribe these dictations using
Dragon speech recognition. But more than half of Nuance's current Dragon
customers have requested a way to use their smartphones to the same end.
The new Dragon Recorder app addresses this need, allowing consumers to
use their existing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to dictate high-quality
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 high-quality audio files using their
existing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (4th gen.). 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.
Benefits of Dragon Recorder app:
BOOST PRODUCTIVITY BY RECORDING AUDIO FILES ANYTIME, ANYWHERE
The Dragon Recorder app delivers productivity benefits even when you're
away from your desk. Capture thoughts and ideas - or the content of
complete documents - by turning your iPhone, iPad or iPod (4th gen) into
a digital recorder when you're on the go. Forget about the tedious and
time-consuming task previously associated with transcribing your
dictated text. Dragon NaturallySpeaking and MacSpeech Scribe can be used
to deliver an accurate written transcript of your dictation.
CARRY ONE DEVICE
By installing on a mobile device that Dragon customers already have,
Dragon Recorder eliminates the need to carry more than one device to
capture notes, reports, and other documents when you're on the go. "I
don't always have a recorder, but I always have my iPhone with me,"
explains one Dragon customer.
CONVENIENT RECORDING FEATURES
Play back, rewind, fast forward and delete the audio recordings with
ease.
RECORDS IN WAV FORMAT
The Dragon Recorder app captures audio in .wav format, allowing it to
deliver the same audio quality as most standard digital recorders.
Record files as large as the available memory in your device. (The
recording will stop automatically when the available memory fills up.)
WIRELESSLY TRANSFER AUDIO TO PC OR MAC WITH EASE
Many of the customers who use Dragon speech recognition to transcribe
audio files can be frustrated and confused by the diverse practices used
to transfer audio files to a PC or Mac. But with the Dragon Recorder
app, it's easy: as long as the computer and mobile device are on the
same network, the audio files are transferred wirelessly for seamless
convenience. Customers can also use iTunes to transfer their recordings
to the PC or Mac.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
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, your computer and iPhone must be on the same Wi-Fi
network. Dragon NaturallySpeaking (Premium, Professional or Legal
edition) required for PC use; MacSpeech Scribe required for Mac use.
