For the computer and the iOS app to carry out a handshake, you’ll need to have your computer and WiFi turned on. Although Nuance says that this process can also be accomplished manually anyway, the app contains all the links you’ll need for determining whether Bonjour is present and installing it, if not. For configuration, it really helps if your computer is running the Bonjour service for establishing a handshare between the computer and the iOS app. Like every other app I’ve downloaded from Apple’s App Store, Dragon Remote Microphone is easy to install. (One caveat: I haven’t used the app with a Mac, so some of my findings might not apply.)ĭragon Remote Microphone is not to be confused with another iOS app from Nuance. Nuance’s Dragon Dictation for iOS lets you perform voice dictation on iPhones, iPads, and iPod touch devices, but only within Apple’s iOS environment.
For MacOS users, the apps works with version 2.5 or higher of Dragon Dictate, but not with Dictate Legal or Dictate Medical.įor my review, I used Dragon NaturallySpeaking v11.5 - installed on a Lenovo IdeaPad U260 notebook running Windows 7 - with my iPhone 4.
For Windows users, the app works with version 11.5 or higher of Dragon NaturallySpeaking - the Premium, Professional and Legal editions, but not the Home Edition. To review the iOS app, I used version 1.0 of the app, released June 13, 2011.
