I'm working on an app to take a templated history and physical for patients. I have a Dragon Dictate app on my ipad and it is really awesome. For now I'm going to switch back and forth from it to my app so I can add free text easily. Anyone have any ideas on how to put a button within my app that would open that app let you create free text and then get back to my app after closing the Dragon app?
Any thoughts are appreciated.

Re: Dragon Dictate Wish List
Hi bert,
The destination app (in this case Dragon Dictate) needs to have a protocol specified in the plist. For example "drag://" instead of "http://". Whenever you encounter the protocol "http://", Safari will open. Whenever you encounter "drag://", Dragon Dictate would open. You could ask the DD developer to include such a protocol if it isn't available yet. Once the protocol is opened, you can open the application using the url "drag://something". It is up to the DD developer to handle the URL correctly.
Kind regards,
Mark

Re: Dragon Dictate Wish List
Thanks Mark... I'm going to do some more investigation into the DD app and who developed it.
