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!

       Is this a gag?   

       Speaking in to a phone to make a text message seems to be one process too many.

       but it costs less!

       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.

       // why not have a speech recognition software built into mobile phones   

       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?

Jinbish, Jan 04 2008
  

       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.

       //One can then write a proper message with a pen.//   

       Or with a stylus on a touch-screen.
