Does it work well? I hate the Voice Control. Every time I tell it to play a song or artist, it does not understand and almost always calls someone by mistake.So annoying. Glad to hear good reviews on this though

WOW I just tried this app and it kicks android ass on voice COMMANDS and SEARCH it works stupidly well with REALLY LOUD MUSIC playing in the background..

“play Beastie boys ” brings up pandora, last.fm, and my library..

“search eBay (naughty word)” did just that instantly.. again with stupidly loud music playing around me..

nuance is a damn good name… because it picks up subtlety much better… when I voice on android phrases like “see our other listings” comes out C R other listings..

color me impressed.. voice recognition has been very useful to me on android, but the voice COMMAND seriously lacking.. (like when you need it driving). I can tell you from heavy experience and love of both platforms.. googles about to be trumped on this feature when/if it’s fully integrated into iOS. And from what I read notifications is about to get a serious challenge too.. (can’t say, haven’t seen it myself..)

Of course.. there will still never be a 4.3″ 4G 3d(etc) iPhone.. so there will be plenty of room for choice in the market..

I wish there was a “done” button so it wouldn’t stop dictating when I take a breath.. but I’ve been using the voice on android to create descriptions for eBay items on-the-fly very handy. Looking forward to iOS5′s take on voice integration.

How about the fact that Google’s voice search (unlike iPhone’s) has worked well since day 1, therefore there’s no need for Dragon on Android? Have you ever seen that chubby bunny demo slam commercial? My friends and I replicated it.
