Downloaded by tens of millions around the world, Dragon Dictation and Dragon Search let people quickly and easily speak text for SMS messages, email, social media updates, mobile Web searches and more, up to five times faster than typing.
Belgium marks the 18th country where the Dragon Apps have been made available worldwide. The Dragon Apps currently support 15 languages across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, and since their debut in December 2009, have consistently ranked in the #1 and #2 spots of free business apps worldwide.
Dragon Dictation is iOS-4 compatible and features a pop-up toolbar with app icons for easy access to email, SMS, Facebook or Twitter status bars, or the clipboard.

And with multilingual capabilities, all Dragon app users are able to switch between supported languages as they come available.
Dragon Search for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, also now available on the App Store, allows users to speak any search query to quickly and easily find information and answers on the mobile Web. Dragon Search is the only app to feature Nuance’s Dragon Search Carousel, which delivers search results within seconds across multiple channels all at once, including Google or Yahoo!, iTunes, Twitter, Wikipedia, and YouTube.
