Top Free iPhone App for Productivity - Dragon Dictation

2010-03-11T06:49:00.000-08:00

We are not always in a location/circumstance that allows us to write an email or compose a text message, but thanks to Dragon Dictation, we are now offered a "hands free" way to compose text on our iPhone. This free iPhone app is a great addition to anyone who does anything on the iPhone. With Dragon Dictation a user can speak the desired message into the iPhone and Dragon Dictation will transcribe it to text. I have used this many many times when I need a quick way to compose email, text or notes on the iPhone. This is one of the best free iPhone apps available to help with the dangers of driving and texting. Never again will you sacrifice safety when texting or typing on the iPhone. The Dragon Dictation iPhone app gives great text transcription - I have found that the transcriptions are very accurate and offer a variety of suggestions if the audio was unclear. One word of warning, like any technology, there are flaws - not in the app, but in the way you must use it. This app works great, but don't expect to get good transcriptions if you are in a noisy area (road noise, construction, etc.)

PRO'S:

Free audio to text transcriptions
Ability to copy/paste text to text message, email or any other iPhone application
Ease of use
Great editing features which allow you to correct mistakes in the transcription

CON'S:

Doesn't creat emails/text messages within the app - you still must copy and paste the text after transcription.
Short duration of recording time - if you are silent, the app automatically assumes that you are finished and ends the recording.

Top "Free" iPhone 3.0 App - GPS Navigation

2009-06-30T20:51:00.000-07:00

Many people have been awaiting the iPhone 3.0 release. Some were waiting on the copy and paste features, many were waiting on the push notification features of the new iPhone update, but many, if not most, were waiting for the capability of GPS Turn by Turn Navigation - including me. With the new 3.0 iPhone update, consumers get a taste of what we have been lacking thus far - a good voice prompted turn by turn, and now we have it. There are a few different iPhone apps out that boast "true" turn by turn implementation; however, many do not offer the full functionality that people were expecting. We are waiting forthe TomTom navigation iPhone app to be released later this summer, but until then we have been playing with one in particular - which we don't think is that bad. AT&T Navigator - the latest iPhone turn by turn GPS application. The AT&T Navigator is the basis service that other carriers have been offering for some time. It is just know getting to the iPhone with the latest update to firmware version 3.0.

Here are a list of things that the application offers:

1. Voice guided Turn By Turn GPS enabled direction
2. The ability to find landmarks and/or businesses within the app and navigate to them.

Some complaints are:

1. Lack of landscape mode.
2. Speaker is loud by sometimes "scratchy" sounding
3.The monthly price - $9.99/month

The app itself is free, but the service is $9.99 per month to get up to date "Live" updates about traffic and other things.

OVERALL WE GIVE THE AT&T NAVIGATOR AN B+

NEW APPLICATION WORTH THE "PRICE"

2009-01-07T07:00:00.000-08:00

iPhone applications are being produced at alarming speeds. Finding the best free applications is fun and can be really productive. There are apps that range from free games, free productivity apps, free social networking apps to free business apps. One application that I have and love is an application that enables you to keep track of milage. With today's economy, keeping track of milage is important in order to get the best tax deduction, if applicable, and become more responsible in your money management. I use this application on a daily bases. One of the most useful apps for the iPhone, and the one i recommend today is called Milebug. You can find this app through the apps store by searching for "Milebug". This application gives you all of the tools to record milage on multiple cars, multiple jobs or subjects and multiple other criteria. Milebug enables you to export the info to a Excel spreadsheet for tax purposes. Milebug is a great application for the iPhone for less than $5.00. A free version might be available.
