ShoutOUT: Voice to Text
Now that a lot of states ban texting while driving, all hope has been lost. Or has it?
Promptu is making a name for itself by releasing a whole slew of voice-activated apps which allow you to convert your voice into text. The developer’s next app, ShoutOUT, uses the voice-to-text format and lets you apply it to actual SMS messages.
That’s right — instead of having to type your texts out, you can simply speak into the mic and let the app do all the work for you.
In addition to converting to SMS, you’ll be able to update your Facebook and Twitter status the same way.
It’s pretty rare to find such an app, so the question is about how well the software can pick up your voice. If it is pretty accurate, Promptu will have a very successful app that everyone will be using as the perfect alternative to texting-and-driving.
We hope it’s a reasonable price and that it can be used via Bluetooth, but those details are not available yet at this time.
