Speech to Text!

Hello

This speech-to-text thing was something I thought of several months ago while text while driving. Apparently, I'm wasn't the first to think of it. I finally got around to searching for it and it looks like Samsung offers it on one of their phones. Take a look at the link below. They call it "voicemode". If the link doesn't work, look up their SGH-P207 phone.

voicemode (speech to text)

A simple and convenient way to compose text messages on your phone. Use your voice to dictate a message instead of keying them by hand.

I have some experience with speech-to-text and decided to look into this for my G1 a few months ago. As of now most of the good speech APIs are written in C++, which can't be run on Android (to my knowledge). There are Java implementations out there but they all are based on Java SE6. A specific speech API would have to be developed (ported) to run properly on Android, but I have a feeling it will take up a decent chunk of memory.

It's definitely possible, and many speech-to-text apps out there are fairly accurate. Given a decent setting without too much background noise they will give accurate results, and with some tweaking could work well on a cell phone too. Haven't used Samsung's voicemode yet, but if it made it into production it probably isn't too terribly inaccurate.

speech to text would really make this phone the best ever, it already put the iphone to shame and i dont know anyone who has the g1 right now. its cause the iphone is a fashion item now but if you made them fight the g1 would totally win

Voice Text does this. Some times it gets it wrong, but others it is right. 1.99 in the market, but only for texts.

This shouldn't be a problem, they have the voice search and voice dial. Why would it be any different to incorporate this into hands free texting or messenging? Have the app do both, s2t and t2s for hands and eyes free texting and messenging

Recently, I used the toll-free Justdial service. I called up 1800-500-0000, and my queries were answered within 60 seconds by a real person! They also connected me to the vendor I was looking for. I truly think Justdial is one step ahead of 1800GOOG services.
