Legal Commentary

I have been interested in learning the lost art of dictation ever since I watched a judge dictate cogent and linear opinions, unscripted, from the bench.  Clearly that requires impressive smarts, but I also think it has its roots in years of dictating memos, motions, etc.  I used dictation in practice to quickly "write" first drafts.  Now I'm intrigued by the modern twist posed by the iPhone and one of its applications. 

ReQall (reviewed here by David Pogue for the New York Times) allows voice notes and reminders, and I have begun to wonder whether it, or something similar, might work for legal research or the beginnings of a draft.  The technology might not be up to it: using the voice recognition, I made a "note" that (like many bloggers) I am reading In Fed We Trust by David Wessel.  The program came up with "Note: reading inside the trust by David Wetzel."  But I'm intrigued and would like to hear if others have integrated this kind of technology into their academic work process.
