Texting by Voice
The
Voice Command
feature lets you do a lot of cool
things. For example, you can use this feature to dictate
and send an email to someone. Follow these steps to
do so:
Say “Send text” and then the
person’s name.
Select the desired phone number or
email address when prompted.
You will see a screen with the
addressee. Tap the
Enter message
here
window to write the message.
You can continue dictating the
message by tapping the
Microphone
icon next to the
Space
key on your keyboard. In the image
to the right, we just finished dictating
the exact message shown as
underlined. If the dictation was
incorrect, one tap of the
Backspace
key would erase the entire underlined
text.
Tap the
Send
button to send the
message.
NOTE: On the original DROID, just start the Messaging app and then touch the Microphone icon
to speak your text.
Using Copy-and-Paste
The ability to copy-and-paste is very useful for saving time and increasing your
accuracy. You can use this feature for taking text from your email (such as meeting
details) and pasting it into your Calendar. Or, you may want to simply copy an email
address from one place in a form to another to save yourself the time and trouble of
retyping it. There are lots of places to use copy-and-paste; the more comfortable you
are with it, the more you will use it.
