But the regular Dragon Dictate (with the green icon) allows you to dictate, then sms, email, copy, facebook, or twitter the text from your speech. Here is a screen shot I took just after reading your text above. http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/YZbZOaPhpmmP1j6tfifEuJMGbdJ38oh6tRp5UfaWWBk?feat=directlink I can only see a couple of errors in the text and no punctuation. While it should never replace formal writing, it's a quick and easy way to convert speech to text...and it's free! There are two free Dragon dictate apps for the iPhone/iPod touch.

I looked into this as the director of my graduate program uses MacSpeech aka Dragon Dictate but the price tag at $200 was a bit of a shocker that I couldn't get around. I really wanted to give it a try particularly for routine email replies but I guess I didn't really want to try it $200 bad. Have you had any experience with that? Hi Erin,

How about using voice-to-text applications for those of us who find writing cumbersome (and have a hard time writing legibly when reflecting/processing). There are a few apps for the iPhone/iPod Touch as well as Google Voice (not sure about international availability, though.) With GV, you call a regular phone number from a mobile phone or land line, leave a voice message that is transcribed into text (about 75% effective from my experience) and makes an MP3 file.
