Nuance, creators of the highly acclaimed Dragon line of voice recognition software, today announced Dragon Express, a voice recognition app for Mac OS X Lion.

Touting the same speech recognition engine as the company's $199 Dragon Dictate, Dragon Express converts speech to text, but with a much cheaper price tag - $49.99. Using the app, you can send emails, surf the Web, and even update your Facebook and Twitter, all without laying a hand on your keyboard.

Dragon Express is accessed from your computer's menu bar and doesn't require a network connection. Simply dictate directly into the Dragon Express window using the internal Mac microphone or a USB headset microphone, and the text appears in the Dragon Express window. When you're finished, Dragon Express places the transcribed text into the application of choice. Read more
