Recording speech using apps

Download one of these recorder apps from the App Store and follow the app's instructions to record your speech, and transfer the audio file to your computer for transcription using Dragon NaturallySpeaking.

iOS apps for iPhone or iPad
  • HT Professional Recorder. Cost is $10.49. I recommend this app because it has more features, including a high sampling rate option, a skip silence option, and an efficient method of file transfer to computer via DropBox. Click here recorder for user guide. Tips for using this app.
  • PureAudio Live Recorder or PureAudio Pro Recorder
  • Dragon Recorder (free). Click here for tips on using this app.
Recording apps are also available for Android devices, including Dictadroid and Easy Voice Recorder apps, though I have not tried these. Dictadroid Lite is free, Dictadroid costs $2.89.

Options for transfer of audio files to your computer
  • Email - available with PureAudio Live app. The HT Professional Recorder app also has an email file transfer option but note that when audio files are sent by email from this app, Dragon does not recognise the file format.
  • Wi-Fi sync - available with Dragon Recorder and PureAudio Live apps
  • DropBox - available with HT Professional Recorder app
  • iTunes
After transferring the audio file to your computer, use Dragon NaturallySpeaking to transcribe recorded speech.
