Dragon Dictation Update Addresses Privacy Concerns

Posted December 16, 2009 at 10:17pm by iClarified
Dragon Dictation has been updated to address privacy concerns that arose with the first version of the application.

Dragon Dictation is an easy-to-use voice recognition app powered by Dragon NaturallySpeaking for the iPhone and iPod touch. In order to improve name recognition, Dragon uploads your address book to their secure servers. After the initial app release, iPhone users raised privacy concerns and even legal issues with this practice.

The 1.1 update makes the uploading of your address book now optional and also gives you the ability to delete previously uploaded contact names from server


PRIVACY POLICY
In order to improve recognition accuracy, Dragon Dictation will only upload names from your address book when permission is provided... no emails, addresses, phone numbers, or other personal information are uploaded. This information is not used for any purpose other than improving the usability of the application. Dragon Dictation will also utilize the data in spoken messages collected over time to continuously improve and provide high speech recognition accuracy. All data is stored in secure data centers according to stringent privacy and security standards. For more information, please view our end user license agreement http://www.dragonmobileapps.com/EULA-dict.html

You can download Dragon Dictation from the App Store for free.
