Jott enables dictated email replies, on Blackberry

 

 Jott (we've blogged about them before) has rolled out speech recognition to several Blackberry models, the 8800, 8300 and 8100 - that allows users to reply to emails by speech alone. It's a free beta download for now, and offers options for “Reply with Jott” and “Reply All with Jott.”

 

 Jott also supplies users with a copy of the transcribed email, which can be pretty helpful in tweaking recognition accuracy and spotting/preventing (inevitable) transcription nuances.

  The Jott web page can be viewed here.

 

Navigating with speech, a la AT&T

 

 Via SlashPhone.com:
"AT&T announced today at CITA Wireless 2008, the immediate availability of its company-branded GPS-enabled navigation service, AT&T Navigator. The AT&T Navigator service features audible and visual turn-by-turn driving directions, including full-color moving maps, using GPS directly from your wireless phone. Working with TeleNav, the service is available on GPS-capable PDAs and handsets."

 

 "The service also provides integrated speech recognition for address entry and points of interest search. You simply press a single button on your phone and speak the name of the business or address you want to find, and AT&T Navigator will provide voice and on-screen turn-by-turn directions to your destination. Integrated speech recognition is currently available on BlackBerry devices, but AT&T plans to make this feature, along with other value-added services, available on more handsets in 2008."

 Cool. Very cool.
