Voice Dictation featured on the new iPad

The fourth feature highlighted with the new iPad is voice dictation—definitely a taste of Siri. It supports U.S. English, British, Australian, French, German and Japanese:

“The iPad, like all great iOS devices, has a great keyboard. And now you’ll see there’s a new key on the bottom: a microphone,” announced Apple exec Phil Schiller.

Apple’s presser for the new iPad is occurring now at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.
