Dragon Remote Microphone App Reviews

The app itself is free but the description doesnt mention that the software costs $199...

Make it work from iPhone to iPhone also

Wow! This is a very sleek app! It was user friendly to set up. I watched as I talked into my iPhone and the words appear on my computer screen! I walked all over my house then checked on the screen, 99% accuracy! How cool! Way to go Dragon.

This is an excellent handheld mic for Dragon.

But, considering you are sending your voice over the Internet... As long as you talk a bit slower than when using the wired microphone the recognition is pretty descent.

Oh my God, it is the absolute best purchase I made in a very long time! Dragon software and in FRENCH! Thank you NUANCE, i love u as much as Apple.

This app is amazing when I am at home on my own network... which never. Right now I am at the hospital with my iPhone 4S and MacBook Air running Dragon Dictate inches away from each other, yet they cannot connect over the secure hospital network. They both have bluetooth, not supported. I have my USB cable in my briefcase -- wouldnt it be great to use my iPhone as a mic and charge it at the same time? Not supported. The wifi restriction makes this app useless in the work world.

Better than my $100 Logitech mic

Set up adhoc network between your computer and iPhone for Bluetooth like support.

Am running Dragon Dictate 2.5.2 and app (on iPhone 4S) refuses to communicate with main application. Online help for both app and main program is useless for this issue. Waste of time.

About 80% of the time the Dictate program fails to “see” the microphone application. The iPhone App. complains about the Wi-Fi network–which functions fine–and when you select the option to "find the computer" it is unable to recognize the device 12 inches away. Then, for no obvious or apparent reason, after restarting both the program on the computer and the microphone App. on the iPhone4 several times, it makes a connection. While it is connected, it appears to be working fine. However, in my experience, it is only about 1 time out of 15 tries that a secure connection can be made. There are no relevant troubleshooting instructions on the Nuance website. For practical use, this App. is unfortunately useless.

When connecting my iPhone 4s to my PC running Windows 7 via Wi-Fi the application freezes on the iPhone when you press the center "button" on the app to start speaking once the Wi-Fi connection has been made.

It took a little while to get this set up properly and to become accustomed to it. I have been using Dragon for years with a multi-hundred dollar Plantronics device, and this iPhone version is far, far superior.

Is otherwise fine, but this is a showstopper. Use an external mic instead.

Like the other reviewer wrote, this app works when its on, but it turns itself off as soon as your phone goes to sleep (after you havent touched it for a few minutes or however long you have it set in iOS Settings). Seeing as you dont touch the phone while using this app with your voice, it is a huge oversight in the programming. As of this review, this app has not been updated in two years and four months! It still has the small screen size of an iPhone 4. Not acceptable.

Definitely not worth the money, the app is free but in order to use it you need a PC/MAC with Dragon installed. Dragon costs $77. Nope.

This app works reasonably well with the Dragon Dictation programs. On the other hand, as has been reported in other reviews, it has not been updated since 2012, and it does NOT offer the option to stay on if the phone goes to sleep. If the app had been updated, that feature presumably would have been added since other apps now include it, e.g. Google maps. Unfortunately, its another example of Nuance not really caring about the quality of its programs.

I cant even get it to accept the information it is requesting that I submit. LOL. This is a laughable app.

The programmers are either lazy or stupid. This app is worthless with it shutting off with the automatic lock screen. It works take 2 minutes of programming to fix this and preventing the lock screen or being active on the locked screen

Works well when working, but more often than not it crashes on my iPhone 4.
