TouchPad app for iPhone

[John Dirks Jr]

I found a new app called TouchPad. It works fantastic with Siri to dictate through Wi-Fi onto the PC.

The app cost $4.99 but it's worth every penny in my opinion. There's a free program called TightVNC that you install on your PC to supplement the app.

With my set up, I'm also using a good quality of Bluetooth earpiece. This makes it especially easy since I don't have to hold the phone up and speak into the microphone. The Jabra Extreme Bluetooth earpiece that I use has very excellent capability to block out background noise. I can dictate in a room where the television is on and it still only picks up my voice and does so accurately.

I have been using Dragon Speak for dictation for a couple of years now. However, I had problems with my Dragon speak program working on new Dell laptop that I bought to back up my HP laptop. That's what got me searching for alternatives and led me on the path to the TouchPad app. I think I'm going to ditch Dragon Speak and use TouchPad on both laptops.

If you're a slow typer like me and you have an iPhone with Siri, check out TouchPad. I think you'll like it.

Just looking through this old post.

Is this info still current or have you changed your method of dictation?
