Posted

Obviously, such a service will only work when the user is connected to the internet.
The upcoming Windows Phone 7 Mango update will include voice-to-text functionality, Microsoft announced this week. This week's announcement was welcomed by developers hoping to include voice commands and transcription in their applications.
