Not sure this is a good idea, but if you are on handsfree, you can use this new app from G.P.Imports lets you “type while on the road”. Really. That’s a direct quote from the App Store listing for Talking Email Keyboard.
It makes sense for people who have difficulty with the iPhone keyboard, or are visually impaired. Please, don’t email while you drive! That said, this is a pretty cool idea. It announces each letter after you type, so you don’t have to look down at the screen. More importantly for me, I know if I made a mistake immediately, and can correct it more easily, than after I’ve finished the word or sentence.
Tests show that the voice, while pleasant and clear, lags a bit, so if you are a speed-emailer, it may make you crazy.
This is an interesting idea, but I am waiting for an app that does voice recognition, and will convert my voice to text. Not sure we’ll see it any time soon, but who knows? The App developers are doing things I wouldn’t have believed 4 years ago.
