Yap: Voice-To-Text Translation On Your Cell


This is pretty sweet, Yap lets you send text messages just by talking into your phone. We’ve seen services like this before but the speech interpretation aspect has been porked. No word on how well this works yet but we’re assuming it won’t be that bad. Call it faith. The software also allows you to query web services like Google, Wikipedia, or YouTube with nothing but your voice. No word yet on if/when this will be available to the public or what phones are supported. Stay tuned, TC40 is still in full swing.

Nothing new…. my Verizon Samsung SCH-u740 does that now but when I ask dictate “Can you meet me at 5 o clock” it says… “Can you meet be at Arco”…

To whom it may concern.

My company’s name is Desk Scribers Data Scribe and have a team of 11 transcribers that have been transcribing messages for UK US and Canada for the past year.

We all have and average accuracy of 95% and ACR of 3.9 and was wondering if there were any Job opportunities at CrunchGear.

Kind regards

Sean

Is this system available now and if so, how would I be able to use it?
