I struggled through Dragon, getting frustrated, and never feeling entirely comfortable, especially when having to switch between programs.
But damn, this new iPad dictation system is sweet. Accurate, easy to use. Highly recommended.

(9,103 posts)I've been downloading apps...it's very fast, worked out of the box, connects to wifi and verizon instantly, unbelievable screen quality!
I haven't tried the camera...a very cool machine.
I was an original owner of an Apple II+ and a Newton - to me the iPad is fantastic!
Next step is to try dictation.

(68,461 posts)Right out-of-the-box with no training and it's dead accurate. This just crazy cool! This can even make the iPad version of Pages worthwhile. I've never seen any kind of speech dictation system that's this accurate right out-of-the-box. I've played with Dragon and some others. None come close particularly when you consider that there's no training whatsoever. I'm just blown away.
All the above was dictated. I didn't type thing but I did make a couple corrections.

What's up with that?
This is a test. <----had to do that for times to get it to work.
Am I doing something wrong?
