Meanwhile, Braina Pro offers a similar feature set but is far cheaper, with a yearly subscription cost one third that of Dragon Anywhere’s. Otter, for example, also offers accurate voice interpretation and comes with a more modern interface and extra features to transcribe meetings and lectures.
DRAGON DICTATE FOR MAC SPELL NAME CORRECTLY ANDROID
The competitionĭragon Anywhere offers solid speech to text functionality but feels dated and expensive compared to some of the alternatives that can be found through the Android and iOS app markets.

Handy voice commands and tools for exporting transcribed text are a joy to use, but the rest of the software feels like it could do with an update, especially given the high cost of a subscription. (Image credit: Nuance Communications) Dragon Anywhere: Final verdictĭragon Anywhere is impressively accurate when it comes to transcribing complex phrases and unusual words, and things get even better once the app has adapted to the user’s unique voice. From time to time, the app did stumble over tricky words when we were dictating through a Bluetooth headset, but as long as we stuck to our phone’s in-built microphone, accuracy remained high.ĭragon Anywhere support is easy to access. We found Dragon Anywhere to be an extremely reliable voice-to-text app, especially toward the end of our review period because the software perceptibly adapted to our voice. The contextual editing menu works really well, giving you a numbered list of alternative phrases to select from vocally. Here, you’ll find a large microphone icon that you can tap to start speaking, and when you make a mistake, you can simply use one of Dragon’s text commands to address it. But, of course, the most important part of the Dragon Anywhere interface is the dictation screen.

The Documents view shows you a barebones list of previous transcriptions that can be opened for exporting or editing. Dragon NaturallySpeaking and Dragon Dictate for Mac, in contrast, do provide control with speech to correct misrecognition errors and to edit and format. The Dragon Anywhere interface is pared down but highly functional.
