    Just a word of warning guys - IM+ was updated yesterday and one of the changes was to introduce a monthly payment for Voice to Text for your messages.

    I took the plunge.

    You should not.

    This is why:

    (1) Takes a LONG time to process the speech

    (2) The translation so far has NEVER matched what I've said. In fact it's never even come close. So wrong in fact, that a room full of monkeys with their typewriters would, most of the time, do a lot better, let alone an infinite number.

    Just don't bother with this - honestly, it's rubbish. It just doesn't work properly.

    Jamie.

    There is always Beejive ;) but are you willing to make the plunge again?

    Does vLingo work with messaging? It's usually spot-on.

    I already have BeeJive but that just sends an audio file doesn't it?
