Voice Text for Android
6 Apr
One of the overlooked features of Android 2.1 was text input by voice. Now on this wasn’t totally new, because there were other 3rd party apps that had the same basic functionality. I was surprised at now good this built in app was though. I figured I would have to go word by word instead of speaking full sentences. However, the first 3 phrases I tried worked out exactly right. It’s definitely not perfect, especially for writing out a blog post like this, but there are a lot of useful applications for this.
Sending a text message, Tweet, or quick response to an email are all perfect for voice text. I will probably start using this quite a bit for pieces of messages here and there. Google has done a great job with their voice algorithms, and I’m interested to see how this develops.
