Notetaking #5

Thing #5! I'm really rolling along here.

This one wasn't too hard as I was somewhat familiar with it already - Dragon Dictation that is.

I used to have this app on my old iPhone 4 (that tiny old thing!) and I remember using it a couple times, and then deleting it because I found it frustrating.

Turns out, same thing this time around! Surprise, surprise.

I downloaded it and started off with some pretty simple phrases. I was shortly reminded of how poor it performs compared to Siri.

I spoke about 6 sentences and it got about 4 of them, all without puncuation. In Siri, she rarely gets it wrong. I guess the difference with this notetaking platform is that it is not personalized to your own voice. Yes, while it is kind of handy to use for your stream of thoughts while driving or without a pen - overall I would give this one a pass.

I would stick with Evernote. Evernote has so many more functions with a userface that is just more friendly and inviting.

I understand how Dragon Dictation could be very useful for someone with visual impairments but until the day I can no longer see, I prefer Evernote. And Siri. Because she's so darn cool. (PS Siri knows who is my Mom).
