The T-Mobile myTouch Slide Android phone launches in June featuring a Genius Button to launch Nuance’s Voice Control. With one touch users will have voice access to control the phone and its features including many of the mobile applications they use most; making calls, sending emails and text messages, searching the Web, finding businesses and directions, and much more. For example, the embedded technology will allow you to say, “Send Text to John Smith. I’ve got tickets to the Dodgers game tonight, you in?”. Versus launching messaging app » typing John’s name » typing text message » hitting Send. Convenient!
The T-Mobile myTouch Slide will also have Dragon Dictation embedded which can be used in any text field in assumption as a replacement for Google’s native Voice-to-Text engine found on Android 2.1+ software. This will allow you to easily and quickly speak your text up to five times faster in any text field, regardless of whether it’s an email, text message, calendar, Twitter application or Web browser. Dragon Dictation has been proven for accuracy in voice-to-text on iPhones and will now be embedded on T-Mobile’s third release of the myTouch at no additional charge or recurring fee.

Nuance’s Dragon Dictate on the iPhone puts Google’s Voice Input on my Nexus One to shame. The quality of the voice recognition is much higher (ie., fewer mistakes), and the ability to edit/correct a single word out of your spoken phrase (as opposed to having to accept/reject in whole) is fantastic. Nuance appears to also collect the corrections you make to improve recognition for everyone; it;s pretty clear Google doesn’t do that.
I really hope this can be integrated into other devices through the Market. Nuance is one of the very few apps/services I actually miss from the iPhone platform.
I agree. I once did a side-by-side comparison of iPhone with Dragon Dictation and Nexus One native Voice-to-Text and DD was flawless in accuracy while VTT was about 98%. Mind you this was in a noisy restaurant too.
That’ll be interesting to get some comparison vids up.
