[Electronics-talk] Cellphone Vocabulary

[Tom Evans]

Vince,
I am a dragon dictation user.  Yesterday they announced a free ap for the I
phone.  I assume free cause maybe bugs in it and they want to corner the
market.  If you see in essence when people are driving, they should not be
looking at the phones for safety.  The point is there will be more
improvements as the drivers need their text messages, which will help us.
Dragon is hard to train, yet when running is great.  I would love to get
feedback from people that would use this speech to text.  I am not going to
sit there with those little buttons and write to someone.  I will wait for
my computer, call them or hope this dictation software takes off.

A couple of days ago, it dawned on me.  the guy I work with didn't 
understand what I meant about speaking a text message.  for I know those of 
you that use Talks would have answered my inquiry expeditiously.
However, a supervisor at my job has a son that has the Samsung Alias 2, 
which does have a feature  that does this.  I saw this phone, but I had to 
use to many reference points to use certain features I like.
I'll check out what this dictation feature is all about and will let 
everyone know.
Vince
