Apple Went to Great Lengths to Obscure its Speech Recognition Interface in iOS 5

I'm guessing since no one is answering they probably don't know. Why do you need it so badly anyway?
Maybe they are unavailable to call but can read a text (in a meeting for example), or you don't have a calling plan/contract/minutes/credit. There are lots of reasons, I'm not going to list them all because theu should really be obvious.
What if i dont want to call, and/or the receiving end does not want any calls? You're "argument" is based on that the only thing that separates a call from a text is audio vs. alpha. Well, youre wrong.
OnT: WP7 has really nice voice integration. Not that i see myself ever using it, if i had a WP7 device, but still, mango looks great.
I've been using Google's speech recognition for some time now and still not the best. Just wondering what apple has done to make it better.
Check out Dragon Dictate and Dragon Go! - free Nuance apps. I use Dragon Dictate for emails - can use it for SMS, making notes, and other social media functions. Work remarkably well - Nuance really is getting better and better.
Also Dragon Microphone with allows you to use your iPhone4 as a wireless input mic if you have Dragon Dictate (paid app) on your computer.

I was exactly going to post this...
For me, it also looks like they will keep this feature for the iPhone 5...

Does anyone actually use the huge Return key while texting? I often hit it by mistake while aiming for Space, but it has no purpose in texting. Apple should remove it from the text keyboard which would leave more room for the microphone button.
Having said that, I fear that I'll inadvertently hit the microphone button while trying to hit space which sounds like it would be a nuisance. I hope there's some delay on it bringing up the speech interface.

I keep reading comments asking why there's a need for speech to text.
Personally, I think it's a great way to give the fingers a rest, especially if you're wanting to type out something long like an email or write a story etc. I find, especially on the iPad, that I'd love to be able to just talk instead of type out long sentences. The medical community heavily uses speech to text when working on documents.
I've been looking forward to this quite a bit and am glad they're including it.

I think my main problem is that I used "sudo rm wife"
sudo rm -f wife is more efficient...
Don't put -r, though! You still want to see your kids, if any.
If "rm -f wife" somehow works, that'll make your kids orphans! You have to do "mv -f wife/* wife2/" first.
Right... Also make sure you add "touch wife2" to the crontab first...
Man, the file system must complicated in Arkansas or Alabama...
If only the poor sucker who invented the wheel could have patented it... Oh well.
We'd still have multiple wheel makers suing each other and sites like "pirellirumors.com", "wheelmodo.com" (which steals new wheel models from Pirelli) and rims that break while driving because we're not "driving it the right way"...
(Note: Pirelli was the first brand off the top of my head... not endorsing anything).
I hope this works as well/better than google voice. That is one feature I really enjoyed while using Android phones at my last job. Quick text message without typing, or emails etc... really works nice. Dragon for iOS is ok, but a pita to have to copy/paste or send it to another app, much quicker to simply respond to a text by hitting one key, say what you want, send.
Bring it on!
Bring it on!
I prefer mount -s
But each to their own
RTP.
I had to look up the "-s" option. Doesn't seem to be available on Darwin, but looked it up for Linux on the interwebs.
I bow down to you! Well done, sir, well done!
This hiding kind of sucks and it's all due to developers who leak info from the private beta. I wish Apple could seriously go after every single one that leaks these things. You signed an NDA, for god's sake
That little rant aside: yay for voice recognition, if it works well
Yet it's MacRumors, a reputable tech site, who's reporting the hiding of this interface change ... yet you jump up on your high horse and have a go at non-developers and toss around "NDA" at will.
As an ios user with motor skills limitations, I would be extremely disappointed if this were the case. Putting aside the fact that I just got my touch for Christmas, there isn't really a good hardware justification for limiting the functionally to a hypothetical 5th generation device. The microphone is already in there.
Well, if you have the iOS 5 beta, that means you are a developer. I haven't tried this, as I haven't played with the beta or anything, but I would assume based on this article that in the app you are programming you create a text window with the keyboard set to Dvorak.
