When it comes to speech to text, Vlingo<\/a> has BlackBerry covered. I’ve been using the app since it was released, and it has certainly served me well. The price tag — free — helps matters, too. Yet they’re not the only game in town. While Dragon doesn’t cover all the features that Vlingo does — it’s limited to your email — it does present an alternative. It uses Nuance’s technology, which has been available in other formats. Now that it’s on BlackBerry, it’s worth giving a try. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The application works in a simple manner. First, you have to set the application to your convenience key, which Dragon takes care of during the installation process. Then, when you open your email compose screen, hit the button and you can begin. Dragon allows for dictation of recipients (from your contacts), subject lines, and email body. It also allows you to do this for replies and forwarded messages.<\/p>\n

As they explain on the how-to page<\/a>, it’s exactly this simple. Again, it doesn’t integrate with other message types, so Vlingo has the advantage there. But if you can’t get Vlingo to pick up your voice accurately you might as well give Dragon for E-Mail a shot. It is, after all, free at App World<\/a>. Alternatively, you can download it via SMS or email<\/a> if you prefer that. If you still have questions, you can check out their demo video<\/a>.<\/p>\n
