Can I share Dragon Go! on my device?

Dragon Go! adapts to your voice and builds a unique voice profile for you, which increases speech recognition accuracy over time. For best speech recognition results, it is best that you be the primary speaker for Dragon Go! requests to ensure your voice profile continues to improve and deliver faster and even more accurate results over time. Of course – sometimes we all have to share. So if someone will be borrowing your device or using Dragon Go! for a prolonged period of time –we recommend that you reset the voice profile so Dragon Go! can create a unique voice profile for them and deliver great results the more they use the app! You can do this from Settings → Reset Enrollment → ON. Please note, doing this will reset your voice profile.

We recommend that you do not use the Reset Enrollment feature if you are only sharing the app with someone for a few searches. After all, we know that once your friends see you use Dragon Go! they will want to give it a try!

Do I really have to press "Record" and "Done" Buttons?

No. Dragon Go! has the ability to detect when you’ve stopped speaking. However in noisy environments we recommend manually stopping the recording. 

Does Dragon Go! adapt to my voice over time?

Yes! Dragon Go! adapts to your voice and creates a unique voice profile to provide better speech recognition accuracy.

What are some of the things I can do with Dragon Go!?

Dragon Go! is so easy to use – just say what you want and it delivers you results across the best sites on the mobile Web. Here are a few examples to get you going:

You say….

  • “What’s the weather like”?  to see local weather conditions on AccuWeather.com and you can compare weather forecasts across The Weather Channel and Weather Underground.
  • “Cowboys and Aliens” to instantly buy tickets and see trailers on Fandango, and then scroll over to Twitter to see what people are saying about the movie.
  • “Technology News on New York Times” and get direct access to the technology section on NYT.com
  • “Call Whole Foods Market near me” and instantly see a list of stores near you including phone numbers to tap and call
Why am I getting timeouts, connection errors or slow response times?

Dragon Go! streams audio data to a network server infrastructure. As with anything on the mobile Web – for the best experience you want to have a good network or WiFi connection. So if you receive this message check to make sure you have more than the minimum signal strength on your iPhone™. If in doubt, download a website via the mobile phone's browser and monitor the download speed. If it is s-l-o-w to load your connection strength needs to be a bit stronger.
