The Droid - Verbal TextingHaving had my Droid 2 now for a few weeks I am very happy with it.  The only thing I don't like is the pad of my fingers are a little too big for the touch screen keys and it makes texting a pain in the you know what.  I have to keep going back to fix words which makes my already bad texting even more frustrating. 

So the other night I am with a friend and I am trying to return a business text, getting frustrated with my humongous fingers as usual and she says "You have to get one of those phones with the verbal texting."  So I laugh and say yes that would be wonderful!

The next morning something suddenly occurs to me and I pull my phone out and look at the screen for an outgoing text message and THERE IT IS!  The keyboard AND a little microphone!  So I press the microphone and try it out.  It typed whatever I said WORD FOR WORD!  As long as I enunciated clearly it typed every single thing!  Now it does take some time mind you but it still had it done faster than I could EVER do it.  So for those of you who have the Droid and had no idea; you can speak to your phone and it will type out your texts!

Do I do this all the time now?  Of course not but for the times I have to send out an extremely long text you bet your a** I do!  I want it to get there before the day is over!  So check it out and have fun with it!

Thanks for the tip.  I just but a new HTC Android Phone; and am also having trouble with the small keyboard.  I think it has the same capability to verbal text.    I'm off to check it out.

The technology on smartphones these days is just remarkable. Good for you for figuring out a work around for the small keyboard Debra.

Deb..Be patient ..after awhile the phone becomes accustomed to your touch..big fingers or small ..it learns your touch...

That is just too cool Debbie, Hey gadget girl, we will have to take a look at our Blackberry and see if it has it becuase you can just bet these two would be yakking not typing, oh no, now more multi-tasking while texting!!

Kathy-It comes in sooo handy! Thanks for stopping by!

Craig-Well it was either that or get new fingers and that wasn't really an option.  ;-D

Sandy-Good luck!

Hannah-I certainly hope so because I hate texting!

Josh-It will only respond to the heat of your fingers darn it!

Carra-Yes this phone never ceases to amaze me with what it can do!

Deb-I know right?  You might love it!!

Al-Peg-Actually since I have been using it that is exactly what I have been doing.  Mega multi-tasking! LOL

Most of my technology does things that I am not aware of or has features that I don't even know I have.  I'm not very good at learning new gadgets.

Hi Debra, I really like this and it would be great if it were available on my iPhone. I will have to see if there is an App for that, :-)

Debra, I still have a few months of contract left on my storm, but I'm looking forward to the Droid.  I wonder if I can do that on my blackberry...I'll check that out.  By the way, I reported the comment above me #14 as spam.

Debra, I just got the Sprint Epic a few weeks ago and wow what a learning curve.  I got it because of the slide out keyboard but I think it will also do the verbal texting but I have not figured that one out yet.

Sharon-I think there are so many things this phone does that I still don't know about and I have learned most of it.  My local board is having a class on it today so hopefully I will come back with some more goodies!

William-There must be an app for that!   LOL

Nick-So many people are switching to the Droid and have been very happy.  I think you will love it!

Marchel-The Droid has the slide out keyboard too.  Yes these phones definitely have a learning curve!  ;-)   The Sprint service in this area is terrible which is why I switched to Verizon from Nextel.
