9to5 Mac reports today that it has been sent a screenshot from iOS 5’s forthcoming speech-to-text feature by what it refers to as “a reliable sourceâ€. The screenshot shows how the Nuance-powered speech-to-text function will be activated in iOS 5, and it appears to operate in a very similar way to the Android speech-recognition feature. Basically, you just touch the microphone icon to the left of the “space†bar, and talk away. As soon as you start talking, you’ll see another screen appear with a larger microphone icon, indicating that recording is taking place. When you stop talking, you’ll be returned to the original view, and the words that you have just spoken will then be shown in the text box. 9to5 Mac also reports that it has heard from its sources that the speech-to-text feature is only planned to be available for iPhone and iPod touch, and not for iPad, which seems a little strange, to say the least!

Why, if it's built into the iOS would it not be available on the iPad? Hype?

Sent from Wales, using my iPad & iPF.

I need to know!

I used to have a paid @me.com apple mail account, money got tight so I had to cancel it. Will I get it back when ios5 comes out with the same I.D.?

In which way is this related to a news item about speech to text......have you read the rules regarding thread hijacking!
