Microphone built in, but what apps

[iJake]

So, over looking the Ipads Tech Specs, i have only just noticed there is a built in Mic, anyone have any ideas of what sort of apps this will be good for?? :ipad-keyboard: Possibly Instant messaging voice clips?

 

[gentlefury]

voice memo and VoIP like skype.

There are several good voice-to-text apps on the iPhone. I am sure at least some of the them will have an iPad version as well.

iPad is going to be a pretty nice gaming platform...maybe team play.

Thats pretty exciting, if only the first gen had a camera, then skype, msn etc would be much more interesting :ipad-front:

Touch is on 3rd Gen and still no cam, why is everyone assuming the ipad will ever have one?

Id rather it on the ipad with that vibrant screen than a small touch screen, web chat would be wicked

My wife found some foreign language learning apps for Ipod Touch that require a mic.This will help with that.

For Dictation Use ....

Dragon Dictation ..... you can dictate your memo and it will type it out for you, then you can copy and paste into email or Pages.

Skype works great on it, seems kinda crazy talking on the iPad. The sound quality is good on both ends. I tried the iPhone headphones with the mic also, works great.

What he said... works good. Just be aware you need a data connection (wifi or 3g) for it to work.

I have the notes app that was 99c and it has where you can make cards and put voice to them so you can record your own message with the card and send it via email or mms.

Hmm all sounds very good, seems like there are a few apps i can look forward to upon release in the UK
