Nuance Adds Dragon to PaperPort Notes
Nuance Communications will announce on January 25 that its PaperPort Notes app for the iPad now features Dragon Dictation, allowing users to capture comments and ideas directly into their digital notes by speaking.
PaperPort Notes is a complete digital note-taking tool for the iPad that allows people to combine documents, Web content, audio, typed text, handwritten notes, and now dictated notes into a single document that can be easily organized and shared with anyone. With the solution, note-taking is five times faster than typing on the virtual keypad, according to Nuance.
PaperPort Notes enables users to insert and share documents using cloud services, including Google Docs, Dropbox, and Evernote, as well as the Nuance PaperPort Anywhere cloud and mobile service. PaperPort Anywhere makes it easy to scan, organize, and share documents, and delivers search-indexing capabilities using Nuance OmniPage OCR.
The new tool gives users the ability to quickly create typed, freehand, or dictated notes; to combine full documents from PDF and Microsoft PowerPoint files, content from the Web, and notes into a single document; to add page-specific audio comments within notes; and to use search, copy and paste, reordering, and bookmarking tools to navigate quickly through notes and stay better organized. Also included are annotation tools, including pen, highlighter, and eraser, to mark up documents quickly.
Nuance said that Dragon Dictation was quickly integrated into PaperPort Notes using the Dragon Mobile SDK, which is offered by Nuance through NDEVMobile. PaperPort Notes is available as a free download in the Apple App Store.
