Apple Thoughts: Dragon Dictation Updated

"One of the prime concerns people seemed to have about using Nuance's Dragon Dictation iPhone app was that the application took names from their phone's address book and uploaded them into Nuance's servers so that the software could recognize those names when you asked for translation into text."

If you are concerned about it, and have already been using Dragon Dictation, they are now giving you the ability to remove any names that may have been uploaded as well as being able to opt out of further uploads. I don't really think there was any evil intent here, especially since they warned you what was going to happen before they did it. However, it is better to give the user a choice in the matter, which is exactly what they are doing now. I use this app from time to time and it actually works pretty well. It is available in iTunes as a free download.
