Dragon Drive Messaging

Lux700 · 02-05-2015, 03:01 AM

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but couldn't find anything here (not on my phone anyway). Does anyone know if Dragon Drive Messaging is worth having? I was doing an online search in the car and came across it by accident and was just wondering if was of any use. Also, couldn't see anything about the cost after the 60 day, free trial period?!

Thanks

I used the trial - used it once, can't say I really hated it as didn't get the ability to use it much, iDrive blocked its use half the time I wanted to use it, due to car moving or whatever so it seemed pointless.

I find TBH it just easier to use Siri by a long press on the Voice control button, works a treat.

Personally wouldn't bother as I don't really want to read/send messages whilst driving. On the off chance I do, Eyes Free for iPhone does the job. Considering Siri's speech recognition is based off Nuance, I'd be barking mad to pay for something I already have.

During the 60 day trial period, you will be sent an email by Dragon Drive offering you a 1 year plan for £19.95. After the initial fun of dictating a couple of texts during the trial period, I didn't use it again although it did appear to work reasonably well.
