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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384503
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.

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.
Hey, do u guys have the anserws to theese questions?
1. I want to choose for how long the green lamp, which indicates "new message/sms", shall blink. Now the option is "grey" and it's set to 5minutes. But you can't change the time. What should I do to set the time?
2. I've tried all the pre-installed keyboards that comes with the phone. But I'm not really happy with it. One must, is that it should contain the charachters "åäö" (a swedish keyboard).
3. Can I set the vibrator to a personal setting? Like now, if I get a sms/message, my phone only vibrate once. Which is really hard to notice, when I got it in my pocket. So can I somehow make it vibrate more?
4. And how do I get my "sms-wordlist" to work?! Everytime I add a diffrent word in my "sms-wordlist" it disappear a time later. Which is really enoying. How do I fix it?
Thx for answering!
C
Regarding a keyboard with Swedish layout, try FingerKeyboard
I use it with Danish layout but you can also have it with eg. Swedish layout.
nobody else? Plz, I need thoose answers!
otherwise I'm thinking of buying a new phone, because the sms-function is at my greatest use..

There have been posts elsewhere on the Forum on all the issues you raise - for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606212.
I'm pretty sure I've seen a thread very recently about changing the vibration settings - if I did a search, I'm sure I could find it in a couple of minutes. Someone's responded to your question about keyboards - and, on adding words to T9's dictionary, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=557320&highlight=T9+words+adding might help.
Usually, for most of the niggling issues, there is either a simple setting change (which may involve adding/changing registry keys) or CABs that can be downloaded and tried. Take a look - there's a wealth of material here waiting to be searched!
thx so much i've tried to search on xda, but I kinda failed ^^
I'll try the links and come back with some respons

Right now, I've fixed the led-lamp, t9-wordlist and fingerboard. But I've tried to search xda for how to do your own custom vibration when receiving sms, and I've just found one... (can't post url:s yet) here is the topic "Vibration pattern for Incoming Calls, SMS and EMail "
but the "program" is pritty old and the developer doesn't write how to uninstall it if something goes wrong. So can you try to find something else, that might be better?
Edit:
Then I've found the names "SMS POPUP" and "DGAlert" but none of them is available for install/dwl at xda...

Speechy Professional is now released in the marketplace and available for download at $0.99. New revision has already been submitted to make it up to speed at version 1.0.1 (Current Available: 1.0.0), so go download it now at: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/c75773d1-84a7-49d2-92a0-c2a52e0df0a3 and check often for updates!
What is Speechy...?
A translator you can really talk to, literally. Say what you need and Speechy will translate and speak out loud what you said in English for others to know what you really want to say in a foreign language. Great tool even if you're just trying to learn the language to prepare for your trip.
So when you're at the Airport and no one speaks English and you don't know the native tongue, you can say "How do I get to Terminal B" and know someone who speaks one of the 15 pre-bundled languages can help you. Why hire a Translator when the best Translator is at your fingertips and you're in control!
How is this DIFFERENT?
1). Mic/Recording Input
Simple! Our voice input function that grabs the audio you speak either close or whichever distance you may be and takes the input from the phone Mic. When using your "Mic", we've designed our own Equalizer that is built-in that actually has various functions and decreases/increases pitch, balance, volume and other aspects to obtaining the audio you speak in which it also breaks it up in to a bunch of "chunks" and sending it via Internet (Wifi Connection or 3G Required) in multiple parts to then have it run through a Speech Server where it is analyzed in each segment of your Mono input (Never Stereo).
2). Cloud Speech Server
When your multiple chunks are each processed one-by-one for better understanding, they are first run under another synthesizer to turn everything flat (Bass, Treble, Pitch/Frequency, etc...) and another technique that let's us better understand what you say, even if you have an accent to the best we can and as each few moments are separated, it allows us to promptly guess what each word is being said and if quickly it fails a built-in/server-run spelling database (Query's originally from Bing!) and if it is still valid it will continue on to check to see if it can find the next best thing using the 2nd Dictionary aka "Phrases" which uses a form of AutoComplete for quicker search which is why you may notice sometimes a little bit of lag time/timely response as it is doing it's very best to try and be 100% accurate.
e.g. "This is a test" may normally be recognized by other Speech Services as "This is a pest". In this case the word "pest" could be valid as it is a US-English Dictionary word but we have one last pass-through that has most common American English phrases that currently only has around 2,000+ but as people report more what they've tried to say and hasn't worked we can add it to the 2nd dictionary for accuracy.
3). Translated Voice Download
Once everything is assumed to be as accurate as possible it will then pass the string through the Bing Translator API and in this case grab the audio from the Bing Translator service and pass it through the App as a "Stream" to download it temporarily (removes every translation or application closing/back button pressed) but only to prepare for output in Mono or Stereo (where available).
4). Translation Output
Once the file is available it immediately streams back out at a specific pitch, frequency, mono playback but made a synthesizer that barely modifies the output a little more to make it louder and easier to understand/sound better on almost any device but more important if Stereo headset/playback is available where most App's just set Mono to Stereo for output but we playback in mono and modify it just a tad and again prepare it if Stereo should occur (Balancing the L/R Channels) but most may not even hear the difference in a loud room but the very least more clear.
Hope this gives you a better insight why a Speechy Pro edition exists for $0.99 where the free edition is awaiting Certification but doesn't have all the features for input/output or all voices available but also has Popup Ad's that aren't really intrusive as you can still record/view/hear with it popping up. Once we hit a specific amount of downloads in the pro edition, we will only continue releasing pro but freely but at this time unsure when that will be but it will just pay for the lighting/power, A/C, Internet, and misc items that we needed to build this.
Thanks!

A Trial won't exist as the Free edition will actually be the same exact thing but with Ad's. No limitations as originally thought but if the user won't want the Ad's, he/she can go Pro but we felt it wasn't fair to limit anyone from usage. Just waiting for Microsoft to accept... One day...
Do you think a trial for the pro-edition should be added? If yes, we can always throw it in...
It will be implemented inverse direction translation?
eg: from Spanish to English

In short, not at this time unfortunately.
works great! I left a review in the store; but I'll repeat my suggestion here: you should at the very least be able to replay the last translated phrase. Better yet, add a history tab to replay all previous queries.
Hello,
Thank you so much for trying out Speechy. We actually have an update that should be coming to your device very shortly that does allow re-translation. If you look at the Screen Shot's here, you'll notice the slightly different interface you have right now and that extra button does actually allow you to "Re-Translate" without re-speaking.
Where is the update? It is still being tested by Microsoft and once accepted, it will be pushed out as an Update. So check back here often OR check the Marketplace often for updates.
As for storing things spoken, that is a great suggestion. We will go forth an offer that as one of the option in most likely the next version for you, which won't be 1.0.1 (pending) or 1.0.2 (awaiting 1.0.1 release for this update to publish) but most likely 1.0.3 as this will have the "Options" button that has several additional things you can do with Speechy.
We welcome any and all suggestions as this App is for you, the end-user and as one of our customers we'd like to continue to satisfy you, so anything you'd like to see please recommend and we'll do our best to implement it in future versions.
Again, thank you so much for taking the time to try our program and especially writing a review, we do really appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Lance

The new edition of Speechy Pro has been accepted and now in the Marketplace, go Update now or download directly at: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/c75773d1-84a7-49d2-92a0-c2a52e0df0a3.
What languages are supported?
Speechy Professional is ALSO available in the Marketplace, see towards the end why you may wish to upgrade. Do note that Speechy/Speechy Pro have the EXACT same Features and ZERO Limitations as some have been going around trying to claim limitations exist (Note: Currently not valid as originally once planned or "announced" but was never released with limits, so we feel any word about limitations should be put to rest as officially it never existed and hope to clarify that as originally we did so to gain more exposure, which we successful obtained and apologize for anyone who bought in to it).
You may also hear our App is just "like" everyone else's or doesn't have "this" but this is a Translator meant to have 1-true idiot proof task, to allow you to speak and translate as accurate as possible (even if it may take a few moments). So go on, take the FREE download, doesn't cost anything but your time and read below while you're download. After using our App, you determine if our App is truly no different than the others. Hope this clarifies anyones concerns and confusion.

My assumption:
It only uses English as input language. Hence, no option to select input language. The list of languages is for output language.
Note: It would be superb if you include the output text too. It would be a great language learning companion then
nice app!
Do you mean output as English? If yes, the reason behind it is the input at this specific moment only allows English and writes what you said so you're aware of what will be translated.
At this moment however, Spanish input is being worked on, in which case English output will exist for that Profile but Spanish output won't.
Thank you,
Lance

First, thank you for your kind words.
The 3rd edition in the "Options" section actually has the ability to dictate / translate to text but we tried to stay away from it but too many have asked for it, so we do what people want and adding it, which if you don't want to go to options every time for text translation, you can enable "Auto Text Translate" plus other stuff. Big update.
Also, we have a "What'd I Say?" feature that stores what you're said, would you ever wish to use this?
Thanks,
Lance

You are welcome
That would indeed be a nice update. "What'd I say" would also be a wonderful addition if one has installed the app to learn a language. If you design "What'd I say" as a table with columns of input text and output text and a small speaker icon that speaks out the output text, it would be awesome.
Note: Please consider using text as input if you are planning another update. It helps if you do not have a US English accent. Or am I asking for too much?
Thanks.
I appreciate your input, the release for the storage of items spoken is a bit similar to what you've described.
As for input of text, the only reason this may not occur is because too many of these types of App's already exist and trying to stay away from non-verbal input but believe it or not, a lot of people can't spell properly and when they manually input (Especially via Mobile Keyboard), if the word doesn't exist or in our case can't pass 2 "Dictionaries" it will fail and sure enough, you'll be seeing how horrible our App is and "They are lucky we can't give them 0 Stars" which it's not always about the rating but to continue development someone has to use it lol. *I have now wondered off the site and thought about what you've requested and took a look at other 'Translators' and the methods seem all the same which maybe it is something we need to maybe add to make a difference and offer a "Fix What I Said" as a small text-link for a custom Popup to request manual input and force the "Chat" keyboard to allow pre-determined words/instant spell check as maybe not everyone can pronounce specific words.*
The current edition was in fact intended for anyone who spoke "English" only and only because the current Microsoft Speech Server that we have doesn't support other languages, which is why we're building our own "Add-ons" to an already existing technology but the current language is Spanish to hopefully recognize and after that, whatever other languages are requested and if we can find a voice actor that is reasonable, hopefully develop it.
Also, you're never asking too much. If you download ANYTHING of ours, I hope you'd recommend anything you'd want or think you'd like to have added. We're trying to be a little bit different than the others and actually listen to what our End-Users say as we have nothing without the EU's, like you and makes your responses invaluable.
Again, thank you very much for taking the time to respond back, I and the other guys do appreciate it.
Thanks,
Lance

It is always nice to see developers respond readily to user suggestions. It is true that some users misspell words and then curse the app in the review section. The instant spell check/suggest(Google style) would be a nice way to combat this issue. Something like "Did you mean xxxx" after a failed search would also be nice.
It is good to see that you are working on a Spanish input version. I do not know if there is any demand for Hindi(India's national language), but if you ever need voice for it, then contact me.
Thanks.

Once again thank you for your input and kind words and the only reason for Spanish input is because in America, the country is being overran with Spanish Speaking immigrants that have no real desire to learn English and if we can't force them or any [non-English speaking] to speak the language of the country, maybe this will help and work with local governments on providing the solution and not have what's current, a problem (This way as they speak we can translate it ourselves as you must assume they won't have the software).
Sounds harsh, sure but the truth hurts and no one else is trying to resolve the issues or help prevent/alleviate them. As for Hindi, off hand I am unsure what our demographics are for this but I know we get more Indian downloaders than Italy, France, and etc...
Either way, thank you very much for the offer and I will pin you to our memo server as a possible voice actor/coach. Also we all agreed we're going to put in the ability to type what you want/fix what was spoken. We'd like to give you a shout out in the about page, what name would you like?

Speechy 1.2 Update
Look for the new Thread labeled Speechy 1.2 Update.
Hello all,
I'm not sure if this is general or off topic. Please share as I would really love assistance with this. I would like it to get to the right person/people.
You all are great at what you do by the way.
If you don't mind me giving you a little history/herstory lol behind my request.
The other day I ran into a young lady which I lended assistance. I found she didn't speak English. I then attempted unsuccessfully to use a translator app to communicate with her. Thing is I couldn't understand the language she spoke to input the correct language to translate.
Which brings me to my dilemma. Does anyone know of or wouldn't mind developing an app to assist with people with communicating though you do not particularly know exactly what language they speak.
I would be so very grateful for your help thank you for your attention and assistance.

Google Translate has a 'Detect Language' option amongst its language choices. (All the way at the top).

It does not recognize spoken language however. That would be a nice feature in an app, but impossible to make I would think...
The mic
The mic doesn't work in that function. :-/

Let's hope for the best. Don't cut it off before it has had a chance to be attempted.
Well I guess that it's surely doable, just make the app use the Google speech recognition to determine the language being spoken.
Yet it means that you would have to somehow let the lady know that you want her to talk directly to the phone

I have the picture that for the speech recognition to work it needs to know the language that is being spoken. So it cannot guess the spoken language. Correct me if I and wrong?
Edit: now I and laughing at the idea that someone comes asking for help and you start waving a phone in their face while making weird gestures

Didn't say it wouldn't require some tinkering here and there... I bet it would work like all the song recognizing apps, I mean TrackID or similar. Just record a few secs of the incoming sound, compare it with the database and boom, your amigo sprechst français

It doesn't? Well, sh*t...
Though truthfully I was thinking more along the lines of letting your conversational partner simply either type (so Google can recognise it) or select their own language in the app. You can go a long way with pointing and gesturing.
