Voice recognition is a feature that’s becoming increasingly widespread in smartphones, but did you know that you can get it on your Mac and PC, too? With Dragon NaturallySpeaking 23 Home from Nuance, you can control your digital world using only your voice.

And for a limited time, you can get Dragon NaturallySpeaking for just $79.99 — that’s 20% off — thanks to Cult of Android Deals.

Google Play Music All Access subscribers can now search public playlists again. The latest app update reinstates the feature after it first made its debut — and was then promptly pulled — back in August.
