Promptu’s ShoutOUT iPhone app converts speech to text, takes dictation
Given the overwhelming evidence that texting while driving is just as bad if not worse than driving under the influence, it’s a wonder that more speech-to-text apps have not appeared sooner.
Well at least here’s one, although only for the iPhone – ShoutOUT by Promptu. It takes your dictation via the mic and converts it into text. You can use it for your SMS messages, Facebook and Twitter updates, etc.
The app itself is free, and the first 25 voice messages are free. After that, you pay fees as follows:
50 for $1.99
150 for $3.99
250 for $4.99

It has been proven repeatedly that using a cell phone to talk or text is just as bad as having had a few drinks. With that in mind, not to mention that many states have either outlawed the practice or are about to, new handsfree technology is needed to help drivers to respond without taking their eyes off the road.
