Handcent SMS - no speech-to-text

[pcuratolo]

I installed Handcent SMS, works fine, except I see no option for speech-to-text when creating new txt msg or replying to received msg. When long pressing an input field, my only options are for keyboard selection - Android keyboard or Handcent keyboard. No option for voice/speech to text input. No microphone icon anywhere on Handcent app screen.

Installed TTS extended as suggested on handcent.com website - no change.

What am I missing?

Long-holding the Droid's search icon works for me

When composing or replying, push the menu soft key, the screen that pops up will have the microphone on it.

Might be me but I tend to have marbles in my mouth when i talk. With that being said does this app have a voice training feature? Curious because it has misinterpreted what i said only for me to go back and retype and after a week the errors become less and less like it's learning your voice.

I don't think it does, it would be nice if they added it. I rarely can use it without having to go back and retype things (and some of the things it comes up with crack me up!!!) , but it does come in handy if my hubby texts me in the car with something semi-important. I can kind of text back...with very short phrases, lol.

As long as it knows any correction you make AFTER is programmed incase you say that again.

I think the learning feature would definately come in handy as it can be done however the size of database to use would be the only concern.
