Comments on: Yap does voice to text for your phone

Voice to text comes to your mobile phone with Yap.

Or you could just talk to the person on the phone.

Yes, I realize there are occasions when it's not possible to have a conversation on the phone, but if you're talking to your phone so that it can write a text message for you already, why not just talk on the phone to the other person and eliminate the text message altogether (assuming the other person can talk). I think I'm just one of the few who doesn't particularly like constant text messages between two people who could just have a quick conversation.

True, but what about chat?

This is true, you can just pick up the phone and call, however the same could be said for chat. Why not just pick up the phone. This is an antiquated response to a cool technology.

From what I've read this technology allows you to chat with multiple friends at once, how are you going to do that on the phone? Conference call?

Always people miss the big picture. Why use a lightbulb when a candle will do? Why use a car when walking will do?? Why use text when u can call. Well how bout if you are deaf i mean really cant hear but you have good verbal skills. Hmm maybe just maybe it would be good to have the conversation in text?? I sure know that after 65 years of being deaf oh and yes i am verbal too it sure is a good idea to be able to converse with hearing people on the phone in a real two way conversation. Even nice when I dont have to have my calles filtered thru a relay assistant. Tho i must say I love my relay assistants they are like part of the family when i make calls. Just the same voice to text is a good good thing. I dont want to leave it to my hearing friends and all the others out there to have a communications tool that i am excluded from because people lack the knowledge of the needs of the deaf and hard of hearing communituy!!!
