A UK company is promising phone users the ability to dictate emails into
their mobile phones and PDAs.
The Yodal Mail service from
V7
Technologies is expected to go live in January and will allow hands-free
email dictation into mobile phones. Users will simply dictate their message,
enter the email address and press ‘Send’. The company already provides
technology for translating dictated content from voice recorders onto PCs.
There is certainly a market for such a facility, not only among Blackberry
and other PDA users, who are frustrated by typing on tiny keyboards. However,
accuracy of the translation will have to be very high to avoid embarrassing
typos.
At the heart of the new system will be the
SpinVox
speech recognition engine, which has already been well received. SpinVox
currently allows voicemails on mobile phones to be turned into text messages
which can be sent to you as a text message or email. The cost averages out at
around 20p per conversion.
There is no news yet on pricing for V7’s Yodal Mail.
