Promptu - ShoutOUT

Promptu Systems announced that it will bring its ShoutOUT voice-to-text mobile application, powered by PayPal X, to the Android platform (it was the iPhone thing only, until recently). The release date is scheduled for Q1 2010, when interested users will be able to manage such tasks as send text messages and updates to Facebook and Twitter without typing a word.

As for the PayPal’s role, their new Adaptive Payments APIs sits at the backend, enabling purchasing of ShoutOUT voice credits…

And that’s about all we have at this stage. iPhone version is also in works — when I searched for it in the AppStore I found some other ShoutOUT app, so I’m guessing it will hit iTunes in no time as Promptu’s website talks about it like it’s ready.
