[iPad] Dragon Dictate app

I wrote to Nuance about Dragon Dictate for iPad. We've been having issues getting it to work behind the school's proxy. I had researched what others were saying about it, but thought I'd try and get it from the horse's mouth, so to speak. This is what they said:
Hello,

Please note that the app is not proxy-aware, so if you're using a proxy, you'll need to disable it in order to get traffic through to the app. We do not believe that future versions of the app will change this.

Regards,

Nuance Mobility Support
So if you have a school firewall, and you want to use Dragon Dictate for iPad, start tweaking the proxy, because there's no way Nuance are going to tweak their product.
