[Electronics-talk] Cellphone Vocabulary

[cheez]

I understand the difference between voice recognition and text-to-speech.
My co-worker says if he wants to send a text message to a person, he just 
speaks it, which then sends it in text form to the recipient.  That's why I 
thought the term was speech-to-text, not text-to-speech--which is what his 
phone does when he receives a text message.
However, I assume since he's using a phone that has Talks on it, that allows 
his phone to act as a screen-reader.
