Dragon Dictation comes to the iPad

This should get a lot of iPad owners excited. Dragon Dictation, which has been so popular on the iPhone, is now available for the iPad.

The app is free for a limited time, and adds some new features to the original iPhone version. The app also includes a new Dragon Dictation Notes feature that lets users speak and save drafts of documents, emails, to-do lists, social media status updates, and more.

"Dragon Dictation has proven to be a must-have app for iPhone and iPod touch, so it made sense to immediately extend those benefits to iPad," said Michael Thompson, senior vice president and general manager, Nuance Mobile. "The iPad is a unique and remarkable device, and with the Dragon Dictation App users can experience added flexibility and convenience as they quickly convert speech into text."

Dragon Dictation has also been updated for the iPhone today. The update note says it has bug fixes.

Does it require an active Internet connection to do the speech-to-text processing like the iPhone app? If that's the case, it seems a bit crippled on the go if you have an iPad model without 3G. There really needs to be a solution that allows you to dictate offline.

It does indeed an active Internet connection to process what it records. It would be much nicer if it could work offline. I have a 3G but Internet connectivity in my apartment is hit and miss at best, so my plan to sit here and dictate the great American novelblog won't, utwhat the he'll -- it's free.

Does it understand possessive nouns, such as "clock's"?

Used in a simple coherent sentence: "The clock's pendulum swung back and forth."
