The handset will recognize speech, turn it into text, and send the message for you

Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system can prove a great option when it comes to sending messages to a contact even when you cannot use your hands, such as when you are driving, for example.

Sending a test message using the voice is very simple, as one can learn from the video embedded above.

All that users will need to do is to press and hold the start button, and then simply say text. Then, just say the name of the contact you would like to text to. After than, one will simply have to say the message, and then say send.

The Windows Phone device will do all. It will find the recipient in the list of contacts, will transform speech into text, and will also recognize commands like “Text” or “Send.” You can keep your eyes on the road at all time when behind the wheel.
