In addition to the normal dictation phone numbers, the application allows users to record dictations on any IOS-enabled device. After installing the application, enter your account credentials when prompted. Tap the Record button on the lower right to enter the recording screen. Record your dictation, then review it, save it, or discard it at your discretion. You may give your IOS-recorded dictations any name you like for ease of reference when navigating the application. The application will upload recordings whenever it has access to the internet, and will save recordings for later upload in the case where internet is not available.
