reply to sms via voice control.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I also use a Nokia lumia 800 and this gives the option to reply to an sms. Once 
the sms has been read out, it asks if you would like to reply to this message. 
You can say yes or no. If yes you then speak your message, the phone then  
reads it back to you allowing you the option to re record if any of it was 
wrong. It then asks for final confirmation to send the sms .

This one would be tricky and it seems it would be a distraction for drivers.  
Less distracting than typing out the message maybe, but still very distracting. 
 I would like to hear from others on this.  If you are interested in this new 
feature, star the issue and post a comment either for or against.  In many 
states it is now illegal to text while driving.  I would hate to enable bad 
behavior like that.

I would prefer to implement a canned auto responder similar to the one Motorola 
has when you ignore a phone call.  It could pop up a short list of canned 
responses such as "I am driving now and I will respond when I get to my 
destination".  When a SMS comes in, a dialog box could pop up during the delay 
time.  It would give the user the option to ignore or listen now.  If the user 
ignores, then the responder dialog would pop up.  Something like that anyway.  
Still not sure I like this because it will be a distraction.

Even if we get many people wanting this feature and we decide to implement, it 
is hard to keep if from being a frustration.  I have tried many speech-to-text 
applications on Android and Windows.  The good ones work maybe 3/4 of the time 
if you are in a nice quiet environment and enunciate very clearly but that 1/4 
is very frustrating.  In my opinion if someone sends you a text that requires a 
response you are better to just wait until you stop or voice call them back.  I 
think the proposed feature sounds much better than it would actually be in the 
real world and that would lead to negative ratings and comments.
