John is a Megalomaniac! Don’t now the meaning of Megalomaniac? Dont search for it, Speak it out!! Yes, thats exactly what the Merriam Dictionary App does, it searches out meanings of words through voice recognition powered by Nuance communication.
The free ad-supported dictionary app on the Apple iPhone was launched by Merriam Webster in mid December. The dictionary app can pronounce words by the user pressing the red speaker button provided on the app. The voice recognition technology is provided by Nuance technology which uses the very popular and powerful Dragon voice technology. Now we know, that the Dragon Voice Recognition technology for its precision and we expect nothing else.
Whats more, the users don’t have to rely on the internet thus making it very iPod touch friendly. The UI is clean and the ads don’t flood the screen, pretty neat eh! The reader mode is very user friendly and the user can read the definitions in landscape as well as portrait mode, hiding both the header and the footer.
So next time you don’t know a word, Speak It Out!!
