Dragon Mobile Assistant

06/05/14 Thank you for the updates the last several months. The app now works as it should. Revised submission: When will the next update be to hopefully correct the Bluetooth issue i mentioned below? Dragon still doesn't work when my phone is connected to my car's Bluetooth... it always worked before but since the update on 8/13 it doesn't. Previous comment: However since the last update on 08/13/13 it no longer works when my phone is connected to my car's Bluetooth. Droid RAZR Maxx

But can't change my wake up phrase. The voice print starts and then quickly shuts down. And resets my phrase to generic one. That's a bummer. Also, i would of loved to have a English accent or a few different options of accents so you could personalize it more. More interesting to listen to your assistant speak. & Make it more fun. And, the few voices they offer are dull and pretty much sound the same. Other then that, it understands well and is easy to use.

I love the driving mode and the fact that I can keep my hands on the wheel and my eyes on the road. It does good at phone calls and text and it can lead me to a hambuger joint.. When it works. We don't need more features. It has plenty. But what good is all that, when your depending on the basics and insted you get; "Sorry, something was not working well. Please try again later".When that is fixed you will get all the stars in the sky. I'm usind Samsung Galxy s4 KitKat 4.4.2 and a Motorola Roadster2 visor mounted Bluetooth

But after setting it up to recognize my voice, it has out performed all the other hands free apps I have used or seen used by others. My only suggestions are to allow more time for verbal punctuation commands, and if dragon could manage to properly capitalize words/names and add necessary punctuation without being told to then this app will be mastered in my opinion. But very well done all around, this app will certainly save millions of hours for its users this year and might even save a few lives. Thanks!

I ran into a problem where when Dragon was in assist mode it would hog the microphone and I couldn't use the microphone with Google Voice apps. I found a way around this issue with a fantastic program called Macrodroid. It allowed me to launch dragon in three ways 1 by turning the phone face down 2 by three presses of my microphone button 3 a long press of the menu button. Now I have no problems with turning dragon on without having to use assist mode If it didn't hog the microphone I'd give it a 5 because it recognizes my voice flawlessly it's very quick it's doing everything that I need it to do.

Love the app easy to use very responsive. However I would like a voice change. Unfortunately I can't change its voice or language type or specify per gender or age. Another thing is it would.be nice if there where a feature where it would read aloud news updates and weather in detail. I also noticed I tried to ask it to take me home or to work by navigation request. There is not a feature to program this into the system. These are a few things that would be nice to have added. Even if developers decided to make pay version .unfortunately my assistant was discontinued that did all those things it was really helpful and this app comes really close..

I've never used an assistant before, but I have watched others enough to have wanted one. So far I am loving the app. Very handy hands free uses making a busy day a little easier. Also great for when you are too relaxed to want to check phone messages and respond to them.

It functions better than most however the listening feature times out far too quickly. It doesn't give you time to think before it closes out and tries to interpret everything. Sending a text message it's damn near impossible because it keeps trying to send it while you're still thinking about what to write

Really *handy* for driving. It's fun to give her a funny name. You can enter your name but she never says it. Would have been 5 stars but she doesn't always come up when in background. Even in attentive mode. And sometimes she just sort of ... Stops. And then you have to restart. Still, Great app! Update, she's stopped speaking to me. Only when greeting. After that, she talks, but there's tension going on. She couldn't still be mad that I asked about contact and Siri? She's gotta let that go! Still 4 stars (4.5) just waiting for a couple of minor bugs to fixed. Highly recommend.

I love this app, I only wish that it would work over the music playing. You can start your music player, however you can't stop or pause it while it's playing. I'm guessing it can't recognize or hear your voice over the music. Also it would be nice if it could control music volume and other settings. Though it does control WiFi. Other than that, Absolutely a great app.

Normally I don't review apps the constantly will beg you to do so, but so far I'm finding dragon quite enjoyable. It's fun. It's simple. And all in all probably... The only good assistant app I've found. I can set it to respond to my voice only, I can get it to recognize certain words to wake it up. As I star trek need I very quickly set mine to "computer". You can set it to respond with out the screen active even. By far the best assistant I've found.

App works great i have had it dor years. However just recently the read out texts and calls feature works on every contact in my phone except for one. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled, ive deleted her contact and put it back in....still only with her contact does this not work. Is there a fix to this or something simple im missing? Anyone else have this issue where read out and pop up is turned on and it doesnt work. Suggestions? Other that that, absolutly amazing app.

You should consider adding more features. More features and better documentation will make for a better application. I am even willing to pay for it if it adds more functionality. Im 100% sure that I am not alone. Its nice to have an assistant that would track my shippments and appointments. And important information. And be as smart or smarter than my smartphone.

So far this is the best free assistant for Android. I have tried Every. Single. One. And I used Robin for Months, I found myself turning the app off more than I was using it. I will be traveling soon, and if Dragon can function as well as I hope, then I will be 100% satisfied with this app. It is quick to learn your voice, and does not kill by battery, even with it enabled at all times. I love it, thank you for making a great assistant for Android. Finally.

My idea is to allow the ai to play any game downloaded on to my cell if I need a little break to eat I could say hello dragon please take control of my game till I get back or something like that or just let the ai play for me instead also if possible please let us download and create more voices an share with others as for me I'd like a hatsune miku assistint

This is without a doubt the best must useful Android app I have seen. Dragon fixed the power issue I was having with a widget that allows you with tap of a finger you can turn on or off driver mode. Walla no more power drain. The voice recognition works better than anything I have seen to date. You can start stop apps it just plain works and it's simple very intuitive. Now what more could you ask of any application. It's about 96% perfect. Thanks

One of the best programs I've been using it for over.... 10 years and I was just looking at the price when they came out 10 years ago it was 155 bucks now you can buy for $30 the greatest program on the face of the Earth.... the only thing you need with this program is a tiny bit ofpatience... for the first 1 hour when you download it and then you have to read a couple of lines show the program identify the way you speak after that like they say in New York bada bing bada boom forget about it

I have downloaded soo many and dragon is by far the best i have found in a while. It recognizes everything i say 95 percent of the time. The other 5 percent is fixed by simply spacing my words a little better. I only have a couple requests that would be fantastic in this app. 1 I would like a long texting option, perhaps like a lock button when you turn it on everything you say goes to text until you shut it off. Otherwise dragon assumes i am done if i don't say what i want in one breath. To be continued

I have this on a zte and I absolutely love it. However everytime I try to install it on this device (blu studio 5,0 II) it downwards to 100% but never goes on to install and I don't know why or how to resolve it. Is there any help for this issue? If I can get it installed on this device I will change rating to 5 stars cuz I love the App and all it does on my other device.

Wasn't able to customize the music player to default to my pod cast app and couldn't find a way to add it. Commands work really well. I would, however like to see much more documentary because even though I've been through all the settings I can find I still feel like I'm missing out on some great functionality.

Attentive Mode prevents Google Now voice-to-text from working. Nothing in FAQ about this. Tried to sign up for Contact Nuance by registering the product on their website - and the serial/user ID number is not accepted!!! Can't even contact Nuance! Really poor work here. Attentive mode works really well and would be great if it would not shut down the Google Now microphone input.

It seems to be ok for the bare basic. But I am having an issue where it does not catch my voice everytime. Nor does it understand what i am asking. And yes I am in a completely quiet room and yes I do talk and am talking VERY plainly and clearly.. this is after the app has been on for roughly 3 to 5 minutes now if I reboot it from that point it is great till I hit the 5min point again. Other then that I do like the app when it's working it's great

I've been a fan of voice recognition for quite some time and found that Google services were actually some of the more top-notch I have witnessed. That is until I utilize this program. The most clear voice recognition I have ever utilized and by far the most accurate. Do yourself a favor and download this app to save a very considerable amount of time trying to type everything into a tiny keyboard. By the way, this entire review was typed out by utilizing Dragon technology . Didnt have to go back to revise

I downloaded it on my Moto g3 and when I open it it just closes and gives me the "unfortunately, Dragon has stopped." message. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, changing the download location from internal to SD card and back, I even uninstalled my other assistant, Cyman, and disabled "okay Google". If you could fix this issue of always closing on launch i would give it 5 stars, cuz it looks like it could be the best assistant on Google play

Samsung Galaxy S4 with lollipop. Just installed yesterday as a replacement for Robin. Performs well, easier to understand me and can understand the voice better. Just concerned that the new text message length seems very short and cuts off fast. Is there a way to modify that? I have not been able to find a way to send support request either.

Why do developers look, for reviews within 5 minutes of installing software. Those reviews cannot be in any way reliable because most people haven't even had the opportunity to look at all the features yet. I haven't found any issues with it yet but at the same time I haven't really used it yet, at least give me 48 hours to try the app before asking my opinion. BTW I didn't hate it, but these feelings are automatically inserted by Google. I just haven't used it enuf to give u an honest review

Pretty sick of handing all of my data to Google to sell to third parties. Fortunately these guys only use the data you give them to improve their product (according to their privacy policy) and the actual product works very well. I like the fact that you can use other search engines other than Google, although I would love to be able to use DuckDuckGo, but Yahoo is efficient for now. Thanks for providing a really good alternative to Google! Looking forward to using this for years to come.

It contains more abilities than I was even hoping for so color me impressed. Left off the 5th star only because certain questions or requests are treated in a weird manner or simply doesn't even try to guess. This being only here and there, it doesn't keep the app from being a shining 4 stars. Keep up the good work and its rare I give a review but you guys earned it with this great freebie.

This app is the best assistant. I use it several times a day every day. So much faster to just tell my phone to open an app or play a certain song! It will tell you the weather, the time, it will tell you who is calling, remind you of appointments, wake you up when you want. It IS Jarvis! Except it is your OWN Jarvis that you can name yourself. No typing needed. I especially like that you can NAME it yourself, change the voice to something you like better. (I like male voices.) and it learns the sound of your voice and doesn't respond to anybody else.

But can't change my wake up phrase. The voice print starts and then quickly shuts down. And resets my phrase to generic one. That's a bummer. Also, i would of loved to have a English accent or a few different options of accents so you could personalize it more. More interesting to listen to your assistant speak. & Make it more fun. And, the few voices they offer are dull and pretty much sound the same. Other then that, it understands well and is easy to use.

However, when in attentive listening/driving mode my Bluetooth amazon music is quiet and sounds like old school Radio with some static at times and not in full stereo type sound. I'm guessing it's probably the only way Dragon can hear you. I also noticed like another reviewer that the sound can only be adjusted from the manual cell phone volume controls not the stereo or steering wheel controls. Aside from this music concern, love what the app can do!

I have downloaded and erased so many apps but this one is here to stay! It is like having a helper person in your phone who coverses and does what you say. It takes a little while for the two of you to become friends but once you understand each other he is just as good as Javis in the Iron Man movies!!! While driving its like having a Butler...he reads your text to you and will write back and send what you say! I stream Pandora, he even knows that's my music of choice. He turns/ volume down to text for you

So I really love this app, it runs well on my phone, listens and reacts to voice commands on the very first time, and is all out fantastic. The only problem is when I receive messages and I reply through voice command the notification remains there and with each message I get the notifications build up even more until I physically go into the messages nd open them. Please fix this and it will b great, like I tried to go into my accessibility and connect the app directly to my messages bt it wasn't an option

I have been searching for an app to notify me of incoming calls and to read my texts while driving. Dragon is perfect for this purpose. All other apps I have tried are either too quiet or/and my ringtone/text notification tone over powered those apps. Dragon mutes the notification/ring tone so I can actually hear it. It even has a driving widget so one can activate it only when driving. It also is great at recognising voice commands. There is much more than just the driving benefits. Awesome app.

It has programmed voice command that can wake the phone up and unlock it by just saying a phrase. Its convenient for me if my hands are full. It literally does anything that a real assistant would do aside from bringing you coffee. But it can place an order so technically....anyway its way better than assistant it has ZERO ads and it upgrades for free. There is nothing to buy and unlock it is simply everything free. I highly recommend this app.

But after setting it up to recognize my voice, it has out performed all the other hands free apps I have used or seen used by others. My only suggestions are to allow more time for verbal punctuation commands, and if dragon could manage to properly capitalize words/names and add necessary punctuation without being told to then this app will be mastered in my opinion. But very well done all around, this app will certainly save millions of hours for its users this year and might even save a few lives. Thanks!

As a blind man, I have tried literally almost all, if not all of these types of apps out there in the Android Market. Nothing comes even close to Dragon. All the others pale in comparison. With an extensive set of settings, & a wonderful experience with customer service with an issue I had, I am very happy with this app. Very responsive, clear voice is and the wonderful array of commands at my disposal. I recommend that anybody who is visually impaired, and looking for a replacement to Siri, give this a try

I'm impressed, the interaction is smooth, fast, and simple. Obviously it can't do everything being a simple A.I. but the voice recognition is very good, and it doesn't sound like a robot when it talks and reads. My only problem was when I told Dragon to call someone my phones mic would stop working, which is probably just a bug with my phone.

I absolutely love this app. I've downloaded many apps similar and this is the one I keep coming back to. The only thing I could think of to improve it would be 1) make a note taking command IE "take down this note for me, remind me this, or hey dragon start a grocery list for me". And 2) have the ability to custom commands. Like when I say make a grocery list or take a note use Google keep. Make commands more specific.

The first time I tried this app, this thing couldn't find any of my contacts. Now it actually works. However, I just wonder if it would be possible to actually start playing a song, album or playlist in the music player instead of just searching it. It would be nice to not have to touch the screen with dirty hands/gloves to change the song.
