It’s a Magic Phone!
posted in Life and Whatnot |So, let me share with you a couple of emails that I got over the past few days:
The other morning I was watching Good Day and a story came on about text
messaging and cell phones in school zones. Todd made a comment that he
had a phone that you could push a button, speak into the phone, and then
it would type a text message and send it to the person where you didn’t
actually have to do it manually. I was wondering what phone that was.
If you would please send me that information I would love to purchase a
new cell phone that is able to do that. - JHi Todd, I was watching you all this morning and you mentioned you can SPEAK text into your mobile phone? Please tell me what kind! I must have one!
Thanks, - K
I love how K says she “must have one.” Bring me this magic phone now!
Wow, I had no idea that my quick little comment about my phone would spark such interest. Anyway, here is the phone in question.
Pretty cool, huh? See it flips both ways! It’s a Samsung SCH-u740. And it comes in black or champagne. Here is the review from CNET and as far as the speak to text feature, you have to spend about 5 minutes talking into the phone and reading off different words so that it “learns” your speech patterns and then when you want to text someone, you simply hold a button down and talk while the phone writes out the message. Usually gets about 75% of the words right and you can easily edit the ones that are wrong. My plan is through Verizon Wireless and I don’t know if any other wireless provider offers a similar phone.
This commercial brought to you through the courtesy of ToddCarruth.com and I should really get a break on my next phone bill for doing this don’t you think?
