I bet it is its looks pretty neat... wonder if we will ever see a day when phones includes this functionality from the box... or even if they enforce it with no option to disable... scary thought
I spend about 3 hrs a day driving so for me this is great and they promise app that will blow everyone out of the water. Speech is the future, cause texting while driving is extremely dangerouse.
That programs great. It even sends a message to let whoever txt u know that it was read to you. That's all this program does however. It does not type and send messages for u via what u say.
Joe you always manage to find something new and useful for these phones. Looks like your gonna be the big hit over here just as u were at EP. Good find
Whenever I tried to have it d/l and install the TTS package, it failed. Granted, I didn't look into it more than seeing a "not found" and moving on. Can the necessary resources be found in the market?
I did try the Speech to Text function and had zero luck getting it to type anything close to what I was saying (except profanity towards the end of the test, which it filtered into ###s). Have you had much luck with it?
I had no problem installing the TTS package. It reads fine, though it's a male voice that sounds robotic. Would be cool if you choose a male or female voice. It's been pretty close with picking up my speak. Have to speak slowly and purposely for it to catch everything.
A phone reading to you, or you reading to a phone to talk back is no more distracting than passengers in your car. Or using a turn-by-turn GPS system. By your logic you should never drive anyone around and GPS systems should be banned.

Those 8-track players are a HUGE distraction...why with all that storage space needed and searching for the right one...and do NOT force it in upside down!!!

Nope, its not the same. You can get an emotionally charged text message that could very much upset you or get you ecstatic with joy. A GPS giving you directions is unemotional.
Oh yeah, passengers can be VERY distracting. Just today I had to avoid an accident due to a car weaving across highway lanes. When we passed them we can see him having a very animated discussion with the passenger.

Guess you haven't had the joy of the GPS trying to make you turn right into a line of trees? Or sending you 20 miles out of your way when you could've just gone around the block

You're completely missing the whole point of the sarcasm in the last few posts. I agree that anything that takes your hands off the wheel or eyes off the road for extended periods of time (talking when holding the phone on your ear or text messaging) is bad. But bitching and complaining about the distractions of voice activated or talking devices is pointless. If you ban them or put them down, then there's no logical reason why you shouldn't also ban passengers and car radios.

i have to disagree... People will lean over to hear electronic devices or take there eyes and focus to try and read the screen....
