Good Dictation App?
Can someone suggest a good dictation app for the iPad? My mom might like to dictate family history, etc., rather than type it out.

Thanks to bigandtall I am now completely addicted to World War 
. I play it everywhere, I think about it all the time. I wake up in the middle of the night and try to figure out if my energy will be fully restored and how I can play a little without disturbing my wife.
Awesome game, hopefully there's a cure for addiction!

I like the app but too many ads no landscape mode and crash issues so far. However, has some great features and pretty good for Its first version.
Refresh button would be nice too!

The FlyerTalk iPhone app has arrived. It posted to iTunes, works pretty good for a first release app. Check it out; http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flyer...408750335?mt=8
Unfortunately I probably will stick with the web version unless I can set myflyertalk (too much to sort through), also can you set the threads so most recent is first? Those would make this really useful for me!

That said, you can partially approximate the experience of MyFlyerTalk by switching on the home screen to the "Subscribed" threads tab. Not perfect, but better than nothing.
One of the chief killers for me, though, is the lack of a "go to first unread post" button, and as such, I still find myself using the regular website, which, while far from optimal, is not completely unusable on a mobile device.

And I guess that I now need to copy the hosts file from my PC to my iPhone to block the ads.

I'll be glad to pay for an ad-free version but I'm not dealing with one loaded with ads.
That's one of the big reasons that I avoid "free" apps like the plague.
