[Eurisko]

I think this would be one of the better apps.... I asked if this was out there and someone said it was... DAM LIERS !!! Hope it comes soon

Him121213 .... That is what you told me ... were talking about the other way !!!! you talk it writes ....... not read my messages out loud !!!! I knew you were wrong about having the apps out that I wanted

[Jordo_6]

^ but he said it will READ not write? =S

I've used it, it's alright but I can never get it to read my very last message received and even to get to the second last message received, its all the way at the bloody bottom!

Good idea and I would use it daily as I drive as a courier for work all day.

[wiggy]

Sounds a great idea

So i can see how this MIGHT be good for emails, but why would you want to voice-to-text SMS messages?! Why wouldnt you just call the person...

there are so many reasons.... most of them are the same reason that anyone texts

For the same reason you text them now.

It would also be great for texting while driving, it would be a lot safer for the driver and every other person on the road.

My main reason for texting is because when I call someone I usually engage in a long conversation... and phone calls require almost full attention whereas texting takes a couple of seconds and bam! you can get back to what you're doing.

[santacruzlocal]

ok this needs to be brought back to the top ... cause this needs to get done !!!!!!

I would pay for this app

Now that I think about it ... If ATT approved it I could make a boat load of money ... hmmm

There's a service called JOTT. It used to be free when they started. But not anymore. Basically, you call Jott, tell them who you want to text, then say the text. This sends a text to the recipient. Worked pretty well when I tried it.

Well what i do is use Voice Memos then i mms it. Wish voice memos was to work directing in the messaging.

txt-2-speech is an accessibility program mostly for persons who are blind or have low-vision. This technology is available; I believe AT&T owns the voices and MS the speech engine . . . and developers pay through the nose to put into programs . . . consumer, handicapped or not pay through the nose for it.
"speech to text" or Speech recognition is a productivity program. Dragon Naturally Speaking has the rains of this horse I believe. Again expensive technology that developers must pay licensing on and pass on to customers.
Some people really benefit from these technologies as they enable vision impaired persons and other to reach goals they might otherwise not reach.

Has anyone seen Talktome for Android?

TalkToMe Keyboard v1.0.1 Application for Android | Tools

It's pretty amazing I have to admit, I was using it on my friend's Droid yesterday. Whenever the keyboard pops up, there's a microphone button included, letting you speak into ANY field in which you can type. It's pretty impressive. Let's you search the entire phone, send texts and email, basically do literally everything by voice. Why doesn't the iPhone have anything even remotely comparable to this?

Did I mention it's free?

[lovemyifone]

this will be helpful even though there is people who dont like it that my opinion

[iphone925]

I am ready to pay for this app MAKE THIS APP so this way we all would be able too text lot faster

[crazymykie]

check out Dragon Dictation, its free and awesome

I agree, it is surprisingly accurate, and even if it is wrong, it allows you to touch the word that it misinterpreted, and gives you suggestions.

The only flaw is that it does not go directly into a text box.
cant have it all though, at least not yet

I just got dragon the other day. Haven't really used it much yet. What I'd really love to see is somthing like a voice activation program. My friend has voice activation lights in his house. You have to say "Computer, On" or High, Low, or w/e. it would be sweet to be able to train and just be able to say, "iPhone, text" or SMS, and it will open messaging. "iPhone, email" and it goes to email. Etc. Way I see it, if your fingers are greasy from eating already, you still have to click, slide, click, click, just to get a program and open things up. :-) I know I dream a big dream.
