Dragon Dictation Update Addresses Privacy Concerns

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
