Dragon Dictation started as speech recognition application for Apple's iOS platforms, including iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.
It was developed by Nuance Communications, and released in December 2009 as a free app.
It is now commonly found licensed in vehicle infotainment systems and healthcare equipment.
[1] Other apps which used the same speech recognition technology include Siri,[2] which Apple acquired in 2010 and is now integrated into iOS.
However, in February 2018, Nuance announced a focus on the enterprise market which resulted in them discontinuing these apps.
