APPLES & ICONS & APPS, OH MY!

With Apple being the guru of everything technologically brilliant as well as everything stunningly smooth, the iPhone is an obviously essential piece of gadgetry for the tech friendly consumer. With the addition of great new fancy friendly, and best of all, FREE iPhone applications that ROCK, we can have anything we want at the tip of our fingers. From instant access to your Myspace to perusing the latest fashion and films, we have found a tool more valuable than the past ten years of technology. But with this technology, comes a great responsibility - where do I start?

WHERE ARE ALL OF THE GOOD APPS

It's hard to say!. Ok, they day that someone has to question where to find ANY apple product or service is the say that their brilliant marketing has failed and the apocalypse is soon to follow. Apple is notoriously easy, and finding great applications for the iPhone or iPod Touch is just as simple. The stock answer is that apps can be found at the iTunes Apps portion of the iTunes Store, but as most iPhone users know, the "in phone" Apps Store is usually the place to shop and buy any of the great applications.

One of the great things about the latest update to the iPhone firmware is the ability to sort between "top free applications" in any category. This saves so much time when trying to find something based on a specific topic or criteria.

Top Free iPhone App for Productivity - Dragon Dictation


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.
