sms and better way to use it

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps come close to solving your problem?
1.
2.
3.

What additional functionality is needed to satisfy your needs?

It would be so nice to record a voice message and easily and automatically send 
it by sms. I see the email option, but sms is also important and not available. 
I also think that other options are less important (i m not sure, but it should 
be interesting to know who installed this app in which way they use it). For 
me, the most important of a voice solution is to send email and sms easily. 
These features should be accessible in an easier way and the other ones in a 
menu! With dedicated buttons for sms/email, we would not be so concentrated to 
find them in this long dropdown menu!

If i m in my car and want to send an sms, i should open the app, press a button 
to record and press another button to paste it in an sms. just 2 clicks without 
the need to have my eyes concentred a long time on the screen.

This is my point of view and the way to make this app better for this approach. 
Then is just a suggestion and i really appreciate the work you already have 
done of course! ;) Thanks!

I agree that an SMS option that is as easy to use as the email is needed. The 
issue is that the functionality wasn't available using the current means of 
calling external apps. Apparently, I will need to implement a C++ interface for 
this and expose to QML: 
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1.2/qmessageservice.html#compose

Related to this is http://code.google.com/p/voicetogoog/issues/detail?id=1 
(which has more in-depth on C++ interface for messaging using QtMobility.

Related to the easier access to commonly used functions: 
http://code.google.com/p/voicetogoog/issues/detail?id=8

Seems like perhaps a third "view" is needed along-side Map and Details view, 
which would be "task mode" "simple mode" and/or "dummy mode" ( 
http://code.google.com/p/voicetogoog/issues/detail?id=6 -- see the vlingo 
screenshots as one way this can be done). This would have one of the external 
app-launch actions selected, such that the transcription would automatically 
invoke the external application with the voice-to-text payload or the most 
recent selected entry.

Looks like a good reason to port, integrate and use this solution for doing 
SMS: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/QML_SMShelper_Plugin

In fact like the vlingo screenshots would be much easy to use! Then i dont know 
how to do it ;) The main goal would be that writing an sms or email should be 
make you watch the screen just a 1second! if you succeed we will have something 
really useful because i'm becoming crazy writing on this little 
keyboard...thanks and good luck!

if you want suggestions i can come back here ;)

My job is to create websites and think about ergonomics of the websites, so how 
to have the best way to navigate!

Bye and good luck!
