This Phone Recognises My Speech

BusinessWeek: A wireless phone’s main function is converting human speech into digital signals and back again. So why not harness handsets’ speech-processing ability to solve a problem nearly everyone encounters when using cell phones for e-mail or other data applications? I’m referring to the difficulty of entering text on a dial pad, which speech recognition can remedy.
Manufacturers are finally getting serious about this solution. Use of spoken commands to dial calls and control other functions has been around for a while on some high-end handsets. But the Samsung SPH-P207 ($200 with a two-year contract from Cingular Wireless) is the first to incorporate speech-recognition technology for dictation of text messages. I found that, once I got the hang of the technique, speaking messages was much faster than tapping them out.
