AT&T Planning Speech Recognition For iPhone
Story posted on: July 23, 2008, filed in: others
iPhone users who are screaming for voice recognition on their phones might be happy to hear that AT&T are working on a speech-recognition service of sorts. They’re currently working on a new web service called Speech Mashups. Speech Mashups will send users’ speech to a remote server, which will translate the command to control the handset. This online service should be available to most browser-equipped AT&T handsets, though they’re currently focusing on the iPhone.
The bad news is that since it’s a web app, it won’t work with native applications on the iphone. Aside from that, it also needs a fast data connection, so users using an EDGE network will probably find the speeds too slow.
