Well, now, there’s an app for that! DateCheck, with the slogan “Lookup before you hookup,” takes the name of your date and a little other info and instantly runs a background check. We gave it a try during CES with a demo from the company behind it. Criminal history? It’ll tell you with its “Sleaze Factor” rating. Taxes he pays on his house? It’ll tell you. Number of bathrooms in his house? It can tell you. Is he already married? Yep, in fact it’ll tell you the name of the other person in the house. A free app, with free info, from the folks at Intelius. They’ve been allowing people to peer into our public records for years. So, of course, if you want to find out even more about your date the app will offer even more in-depth info for a fee.

Simply put, it writes what you speak and it does a great job. You can then send your note somewhere, or store it somewhere. It’s a powerful little app, just like the Dragon Naturally Speaking software is a powerful tool for your PC.
