Hi everyone!

just wondering if any of u are familiar with the existence of a speech-to-text symbian application? I came across a samsung MM A800 phone and it has that feature bundle with it. I find it extremely functional and helpful, especially when I'm commuting from home to work since during rush hours, most public utility vehicles on our country are jammed pack and composing a text message proves to be tedious because i'm using one hand to hold the vehicles' hand rail, and the other to compose the message. I'm not really looking for "cr**k" apps or sumting, i prefer to buy 'em if someone here knows a respectable site where i can get those, if ever they do exist. thanks to all and more power to i-phone!

I haven't heard of any application doing this but I know there is an application can do otherwise...text to talk... If I'm not mistaken, the application's name got something like TWT... Try search for it...

yeah, i know this app since its first release last year. app was quite buggy and built in voices are not clear enough. this is not the app i'm looking for though. speech-to-text is what i need, just like in samsung phones... thanks anyway. will try to google it more and will let forum know if a 3rd party app like it exist... thanks.

the program on the smasung mm800 was a "one off" and due to limitations of speech recognition it may not be very soon you will see this type of app as the samsung app you talk of was made with that phone in mind..and this is a respectable site....and if you wish you can pay me for my post...lol....just joking..but i understand the app you need and it will be a best seller when it becomes a bundled option with the new generation phones ....can't wait...

Speech Recognition Offered for Handhelds By MARK JEWELL, AP Business Writer
Wed Mar 29, 7:15 PM ET



For now, something like "Call Mom" is the most advanced voice command that most cell phones can handle. A maker of speech-recognition software for personal computers hopes to change that.

Nuance Communications Inc. is trying to line up wireless carriers for a new service allowing hands-free, speech-to-text messages or e-mails of nearly unlimited length, as well as voice-command Web browsing and music downloads.

Nuance is hardly the first to predict an end to awkward abbreviations in brief messages typed using thumbs. But speech-recognition capability in cell phones has largely been confined to dumping a few voice commands into a phone's memory to enable hands-free dialing.

"The technology is getting better, but we haven't seen a truly meaningful product yet," said Jeff Kagan, an independent telecommunications analyst.

Kagan said the time is ripe for introducing more robust speech recognition in handheld devices because growth in bandwidth capacity has enabled ever-larger amounts of data to be exchanged wirelessly.

Nuance concedes its system — which would require connection with a remote server that has its software — is vulnerable to background noise interference. But Nuance says its technology has the same 99 percent speech-to-text conversion accuracy that the company claims for its latest personal-computer software.

Burlington, Mass.-based Nuance plans to introduce the technology next week at a conference in Las Vegas.

A beta version is being tested by about 10 cellular carriers, and Nuance expects various features to reach the market in stages over the next year. Prices haven't been set, but the service could be offered as an add-on to cellular product menus.
