A few of us were networking after a real estate investor meeting the other night. A friend had gotten a new Droid and was amazed at what it could do - pull up listings, get him to the listings, etc.
I also have a Droid, and decided to check my email. I explained to him how I was starting to use the voice feature for navigating. For those of you who are not blessed with a Droid, you can tell your phone "Bank of America" and it will find all the "Bank of America" locations near you in order of proximity, then take you to the one you select.
I've been using the voice feature to answer email occasionally. You hit the reply button, hit the voice command button, dictate the message, and the Droid converts your dictation to text for you to approve.
At that moment, I received an email from a friend who was stating the obvious in her message. Having had a beer, I decide to demonstrate the voice capability by dictating my reply to her and proceeded to say:
"No sh*t, Sherlock." (I actually said the word.)
My Droid thought about it for a few seconds, decided my response needed editing, and transcribed exactly as follows:
"No #### sherlock". I guess the engineers at Android have a sense of humor too.
(I'm told Android has a masking feature for profanity which can be turned on or off, so that explains it. :-)
