Dictation on the New iPad

I was reading about Mountain Lion operating system (OS) when I discovered another feature that I have overlooked. The New iPad allows for dictation (as well as the 4th generation iPhone)! Check Settings > Keyboards > Dication > On to verify that it is turned on. Afterwards open an app such as Notes or Pages. Click on the microphone key on the iPad keyboard and talk. Click the microphone key once again when you are finished. Afterwards, the New iPad Dictation app iterprets what was said and types it out. You may be surprised to note the great accuracy!! This feature is a great work around for quick data entry without typing. Remember that dictation is only available on the New iPad, not the 1st or 2nd generations. Enjoy!

A demo of the feature is shown in the CNET YouTube video below (yes, dictation is misspelled) .
