Is there speech to text software for WM6?

Ive seen speech to text software for Pc's and desktops but i wanted to know if there is speech to text software especially for GPS software like TOM Tom7 so i can just say street address instead of typing them while im driving...will make alot of things easier for me while driving.

you seruous..141 people lookedat this and nobody has any clue of if there is speech to text software..like the one for PC that does the alien voice

this question has been asked before and it seems as if the answer is no.

However a work around that would involve time consumption and copy and paste, but would work for emails and text - would be signing up for a Jott.com account. Its free and essetaily you call a dedicated number for your account talk to the system and then it emails you a copy of the chat you just had. You could then pull up the email assuming you have it set up on your phone, copy and paste. This is a lot of work to simply be lazy not to type it, and i guess the fact you're copying/pasting negates the whole concept of dictating so that you do not have to type anything, but hey it would work. Just not so much for TOM TOM7. there i would recommend a service like telenav.com. they have a function on their gps software that allows you to dictate to it your destinations and so forth.

Only responding because no one else has. Don't consider myself to be an expert in this arena, but I remember this question being asked and researched several months ago. As I remember (at that time) no one found anything that is currently available.
Some interesting work going on out there - http://www.digitalfuturesoft.com/texttospeechproducts.php and I currently use Jott (not something that would work for what you're looking for, but a great service). Sorry I couldn't be more helpful - hope someone gives you (and me) a better answer.

haha funny as i was editing about Jott it was also recommended, awesome.

This is a link about a regular cell phone a few years ago that had this type of technology. You would think it would be available for PPC.

Anyone know if this is available for download anywhere? Looks like a great application, like vlingo for Blackberry.

Hello guys, It happens for me to be blind (not completely) so I know about TTS software. The only one good is the “Mobile Speak” from “CodeFactory”. There are some problems with this software for example:
1) It is not free.
2) It is expensive.
3) It can not be cracked (as I know).
4) It works with sim car lock.
5) It can not help you with the GPS because it can not read graphics. You need a GPS software that displays some messages as text and not graphics.
I hope I helped you.

Kaiser junkie

I love my Kaiser, I will not trade it in for a Fuze. I am however set back with questions unanswered. I'll enlighten you.....
1) I have been using an app called "Where is My Phone". I love this app. There is a certain feature I am quite curious about that acts as a macro. When you SMS the phone with a certain command as the text, it triggers a macro to work. This is very interesting to me. I am aware that there is a program running in the background to check for such a text request, but my question is, are there other programs out there that will let you run your own macros on such a text requests???
2) I am also running the Inesoft program on my phone. I absolutely love the dialer, however, once the dialer has been used and a call is placed, the default dialer pops up... very sad since I havn't been able to find a dialer skin that I like. (yes, I have searched everywhere and found them all) Is there a way to set the inesoft dialer as the default dialer on my Kaiser? This would be very useful, because I cant just tap and hold the "1" button on my inesoft dialer to activate retrieving my phones voicemail messages.
This forum is my lifeline to the outside world when it comes to my Phone and i thank you all in advance.

uhm as for your first question, I'm not too sure if I can answer it. I do use an app called mobliza that runs in the background. it's basically like an away message program for SMS. it also has a feature that allows it to carry on a conversation with people who text you. go to tiltmobility.com to find the download.
as for your second question, I don't think there is any way to make it your default dialer unless it's cooked into a ROM.

actually, my first question looks confusing... what i want to do is get my phone to perform actions when i sms it. if you look at "where is my phone", its an app that sends you the gps coords, with a google maps hyperlink of your cell phones location when you send it a certain text.
As for part 2, I guess Ill just cross my fingers and hope someone cooks up a rom. thats the best dialer skin ive seen. finger friendly, big, plain, simple.....

I do not think xda allows roms with commercial software in the forums, as this would be considered warez, unless they just include the shareware version, which would be useless as it requires you to purchase after trial period. Maybe you can download a kitchen and integrate the software into your rom, shouldn't be that difficult.

You could provide the software to the chef of your favorite rom and ask him kindly to brew it in for you. As long as the software are fully available for download its no problem adding it to any rom. Reason why its not done are that people have to buy to fully take advantage of the software and no chef is going to force something like that on you. There has been payware on certain rom from some of the most known chef`s in here, but its very rare and if so its because the software been brand new or killing good.
The thought of brew this in case the device is stolen by someone are good. Cause if the thief are not an advance user chance of getting it back are good even after a hard reset

I used to use inesoft address book and if I can remember correctly, there is a setting where you can make the dialer and history the default.

yup, i think i came across that program, where you text your mobile with predefined commands and when your cell picks it up it runs the application or script. One thing i forgot the name, but i think its freeware, if my poor memory serves me right. Damn, anyway it stays on your homescreen, just a small icon on the lower part.
The developers also programmed the location based application launcher based on what cell radio tower you are on.

Lucid REM's keyboard

I searched but couldn't find anything about this app here so I thought I'd start a thread. If I missed it, please redirect me.
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.lucid.qwerty
Has anyone else bought and installed this? When I saw it I didn't hesitate, just bought it because of all of Lucid's other work. No it's not a finished product -- as he says in the product listing, it's a work in progress and he's quite open to suggestions, revising it pretty much daily since it appeared.
The way it works is this: most keys have two letters on them and this lets him make each key larger than the keys on the standard keyboards. To get the 1st character, press once, to get the 2nd character, quick press the key twice. You may notice there's no left or right parenthesis - in the current version (1.51.06), while there's no hint on the keyfaces, you can long-press quite a few of the keys and you'll get alternate text. For instance, long-pressing the "jk" key will give you "(" and "l" will give you ")". I bought it and am keeping it because
1) I like to support active developers
2) I like to help shape an app -- Lucid responds quickly and well to suggestions and bug reports
Do I have it set as my default input method? No. But I use it regularly cuz, well, my fingers are big and it's easier to work with two letters per key than 3
I'll post some screenshots when I get a chance (unless someone else beats me to it).

Dude htc ime has that option, its compact qwerty instead of qwerty, works real well, its free, and its probably just as good as the iPhone keyboard when it come to correction and all that.. but hey if you want to support the dev cool but it looks like his idea is a little to expensive in a market where that already exist, to little to late.. also the new touchpal keyboard has the same option and i believe theres a free beta..

not cool to be cheap!

I wholeheartedly agree with short/y's post. I really can contribute much to the community in yearned of developing so when I c a fellow xda members app in the market I buy. Sometimes I use it some times I dnt. I do it as a way of giving back to my fellow members of xda!

Dude, the developers of HTC's IME aren't reading XDA nor is there any meaningful way to influence their development on a daily basis. The CooTek offering is a different story -- I was a beta tester before they released and I've used their keyboard on Windows Mobile every since -- they're good and they listen.
BUT, Lucid's HERE and listens on a daily basis. You can directly influence how it looks and how it works today. If you're not interested, that's OK. But Lucid's demonstrated time and again that he's interested in furthering Android and the community in general so I'm supporting it and him. That doesn't mean I can't support other methods, too.

questions about the Smiley Parse (an option in Handcent SMS)

Handcent's settings let you turn off the emoticons if you want, but I want them. Only problem is that it requires smilies to be like this (sans spaces): : - D
I, however, do smilies like this (also sans spaces): : D
So does anyone know what I would need to edit to change the strings for the smilies? Thanks

that would be a question for handcent since they wrote the apk...email the address that they give you in the application information!

It wouldn't really make much of a difference, Smileys are on your side on the application. They don't actually get sent with the Message.
Ie while you're seeing the recipient will see =] unless their messenger app supports smilies (and you have the right key combination).
I use the default messaging app but I would assume handsent have programmed their smileys so it complies with the most common key combination ie so that smileys are displayed on phones that support smileys such as Sony Ericssons (and coincidently do have key combinations like )

I´m sorry, but i do have 2 or 3 friends with Sony Ericssons, and their phones do parse smileys both ways (with or without -), but if they send one via shortlinks in their mobiles, they send it without the - (at least here in Germany, Nokia does it the same way round), so my android never displays the smiley..so i would also find it more than interesting if handset would be capable of it!

[Q] T9-Style Keypad

Hi
I've recently got myself a Motorola Razr i running Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and am very keen to find a really good T9-style alpha-numeric keypad because I can't get on with full size QWERTY keyboards on small devices.
I've looked at all the different options on Play but I have a question regarding the built-in keyboard options on this device/OS:
If I lock the phone with a PIN a really nice T9 keypad comes up to unlock the phone yet this is not available in other aspects of the OS such as messaging.
Does anyone know why this is, please, and is there any way to make it available elsewhere?
Thanks,
Paul

It's actually a basic number pad.
I too highly dislike (hate actually) qwerty boards and I can highly recommend the (EvenBetter)NumberPad which I'm sure you've seen on the Store.
It was the first app I bought on buying the phone nearly 12 months ago and works pretty flawlessly, although for whatever reason there has been no update to it since July 2012 and the developer hasn't replied to previous emails I've sent.. As you've probably gathered there's a dearth of T9 keyboards and although I've tried some of the freebie ones since nothing comes close IMO.

My unlock screen isn't just a basic number pad - it has letters on the keys too.
Thanks for your thoughts on the other offerings out there. I have indeed seen the EvenBetter product on Play but was reluctant to spend money on something that might not have been any better than the free ones out there. In what way(s) is this one so much better than the free ones?
Thanks again for your response.

Is your phone retail or network? Curious as to why my unlock screen is just a number pad (not that it matters).
I can’t give a definitive answer as to why I find NumberPad better than the others I played around with as it’s a good ten months since I tried them and my memory won’t stretch back that far!, so let me say what I find so good about it.
The UI is simple, straightforward, and with everything you need to access on one screen: predictive text, ABC mode, add to dictionary, punctuation, numbers, caps lock, space, return, delete. Everything is perfectly sized and intuitive, and the only reason you’ll need to switch to the stock keyboard - accessed by a single button press - is if you want to insert any special characters.
Without it I would never have moved to Android (I had experienced it beforehand on a friends handset) as I detest qwerty boards on a phone, and to me its priceless.

I got my handset from a 3 store and was expecting it to be locked to that network but this is not the case. The 'System version' detail in the 'About phone' section makes reference to 'retail' if that answers your question.
Thanks for the additional feedback on the EvenBetter keypad. You obviously think it's worth spending money on so I'll give it some serious consideration.

Free keyboard app Multiling will give you either qwert kb or t9. I use its qwert kb with Light theme which looks like iphone kb and reduce my mistyping when compared with other themes..

WinRazri,
Have you discovered something on built-in T9 keyboard? I got Swype preinstalled on my "I", and now i study to use it but anyway miss so much easy to use T9 i have had on my SonyEricsson LwW.
As an alternative T9 on Play market i found Smart Keyboard Pro, but you got to pay for it a little and dispite of all its advantages it's not a built-in app((
