Vosms

Voz para SMS e SMS para aplicativo de voz

This app converts voice to text and sends as SMS message and reads received SMS messages loud, it converts text to voice too.

The idea was to speed up SMS writing, which is useful when the user is in a hurry, when driving a car or for visually impaired people.

The app loads all the contacts in a list, but also a contact can be searched (with voice command too). When LONG pressing on a contact the recording begins. The recording stars and stops automatically. After recording please keep away the phone from the mouth and the recording stops. The resulted text after the recording can be corrected or the recording can be repeated. The resulted text will have better result if the phone's default language is set to the language you are speaking. When the message is OK it can be sent via SMS or copied on the clipboard to send it via other messaging app.

The received SMS can be also read out loud with text to speech. When replying to a received message just LONG press the contact name on the received SMS.

The app needs an internet connection.

All the SMS-es are saved in the phones SMS database, the app shows only the current SMS, not the older ones. The older SMS-es can be read from the phones default SMS app. When starting the app, you have to make the Vosms app, the phone's default SMS app, by pressing OK. Don't worry, this can be changed back easily, just by clicking OK in the default SMS app.

Everything is stored on you phone, so don't worry about privacy. Only the recording is analyzed by the Google servers.

The goal of this app is to transform SMS writing as a normal phone conversation via voice and to reduce the typing time.
