My new cell phone has a speech to text feature. Instead of having to fumble by typing with my thumbs, all I have to do is say the word and the cell phone converts it into text. Then, when the person on the other end gets the message, it will automatically convert the text message back into speech.

So, the way that this works is that I dial the number of the person that I want to send the text message to. Then, when they pick up the call, I say “Hello”. My cell phone then automatically converts my verbal communication into text. Then, when my text message reaches my recipient, my text message gets converted back into speech and they hear “Hello”.

And, not only does it work with English, it works with many different languages. What will technology think of next, hard coded emails that uses paper and a stamp?
