Hi Everyone,

I am an American living in Thailand. I'm a retired teacher who hates to type. Does the iPad have handwriting and/or voice recognition software like Dragon NaturallySpeaking? Joseph38

I haven't seen handwriting, but I do believe there is a free version of Dragon Dictate available for it. Dragon Dictation comes to the iPhone. Wow.

Oh, and welcome to the site!

I'm sure there will be an app for that

Welcome to the site and hopefully there will be some info on the site soon about what you are looking for :ipad-keyboard:

Sawadee khrap my friend! I'm married to a thai, therefore I know Thailand pretty well.
There is an app on the appstore, which gives you the Thai-keyboard.

Dragon Dictation is what you are looking for. It's an iPhone app, but is supposed to run fine. I've also seen some news on the net, that handwriting will come as an app too.

Even if you don't have an iPad yet, look around the US appstore. There are a lot of limited free apps, which you can download already, even w/o the iPad in hand.
