So, I am dictating this using Dragon dictation for the iPad. I am not going to edit the results in anyway. It is a free app, that you have to download to your computer first before sinking to the iPad. You launch Dragon dictation, dictate your text, then copy and paste it into your application, safari in this case. In Dragon dictation, you can bring up the keyboard correct things, which I am not doing. The processing takes place on the server, your voice file is sent over the Internet and return as text. The app does not work if you're not online. It seems to work about as well as voice recognition in windows seven. However, I do not think you can control the iPad using voice, or edit your dictation using voice. Until Apple integrates voice recognition into the iPads operating system, control will not be possible. I would like to see voice recognition, and handwriting recognition, integrated into the iPad at some point. The current processor may not be powerful enough, but the greater obstacle is probably Apple's desire for every feature to be very polished before it is released. That is interesting, you can dictate' and then S, and dragon dictation knows what to do. You also dictate punctuation.
