Looking at most of the PDAs that have evolved into iPhone’s and clones, the focus has been to include some method of typing the alphabet and numbers into the equipment to send outgoing messages. Some have slide out keyboards with itsy bitsy QWERTY keys, some have teeny weenie buttons to be pressed in a different order, with lots of shift key and control key pressing to make all the characters workable. Some have touch screens that click when pressed. But most of them require the user to hunt and peck to send out their text message or twitter.
Now a company in England is releasing their new program that converts voice to text and works with the cell phones, called VoxLinks. I read about it online in a UK publication.
How cool is that? No more stylus, no more fat finger typos, no more squinting in the dark to find the right buttons. Just talk and turn your outgoing message or incoming voicemail into a text message. And if you subscribe to the Vodaphone service for your cell provider, you’ll get the software free. Awesome.
