[GoogleCodeExporter]

Please describe the feature request:
Dream request and probably not possible but is voice to text ever going to 
be a possibility in Frotz?

Sorry, fun idea but extremely hard to pull off.  Speech recog is very hard, and 
while there are a few open source 
project I might be able to requisition, they require speech models to work 
which are not free and must be 
licensed.
So unless Apple pays for it and builds nice speech recognition libraries into 
the phone's OS, this isn't going to 
happen.

Thats unfortunately. I had hoped that Apple had released a speech recognition 
API 
with the release of the 3GS which has speech recognition built in.

You probably already know this but just in case you don't an interesting 3rd 
party 
look at Apple's voice approach
