I do not want to be mean or discourage anyone from a tool they use or found
useful so I will simply speak from my own perspective. The dragon app is free
and it does work, but Siri is 100 times better than dragon ever could be for
the iPhone. Also Siri is integrated into every edit field of the iPhone. From
messages to email Siri will give you the option to dictate your message. It
works and is accurate but the down side is that there will be times where you
will have to correct your spelling if Siri enters "brain" instead of "Bryan."
Avoiding the keyboard is impossible on a touch screen device. I will also say
that Siri gives you the option to create, edit, and send a message or email but
unless there is no background noise and you can speak clear enough to get every
word clearly heard, edits from the keyboard will be necessary.
