Rather than type in text messages into your mobile phone why not have a speech recognition software built into mobile phones. Then you can speak your text messages into your phone. It would save a lot of time!

Speaking in to a phone to make a text message seems to be one process too many. |
|
| |
I quite like this. A bun, as long as it didn't change my intended comment to "You ducking aunt" like my phone does at present. |

|
| |
Because general-purpose speech recognition software still isn't good enough to do that reliably. |
|
| |
Why implement it as software when you can call someone to dictate it? |
|
| |
Could this be implemented for telegrams? |
|

//general-purpose speech recognition
software still isn't good enough// Yes, but
it would be OK if, upon receipt, the
message were automatically converted
back to speech by a reciprocal piece of
software. Then "Hi Denise" becomes
texted as "Hide a neice", which is then
spoken as "Hi Denise". |
|
| |
Would it translate things into gibberish abbreviations which nobody over the age of 14 understands or write them out correctly with all the grammar and punctuation they deserves? |
|
| |
If general-purpose speech recognition software still isn't good enough to do that reliably then I suggest building in a fax machine to a mobile. One can then write a proper message with a pen. |

Or with a stylus on a touch-screen. |

You can be sure an SMS will be intelligable. Voicemails often sound garbled and if you are in a nightclub or something you might not be able to hear it anyway. |

It doesn't have to do it reliably. It just has to save a decent amount of finger work. As long as it is quicker to talk and edit than to type everything, this idea is good. |
