ShoutOUT TXT is a neat iPhone app for those people who like texting but hate typing on a virtual keyboard. Using this application, you can voice dictation messages in fluent natural speech and “watch” them being transcribed in seconds. If, however, the software is not sure about the word, the Promptu SmartWord editing comes into play, allowing you to tap a word to see and select from likely alternatives.
All text messages created using only the keyboard are always free, and you pay only pennies for spoken and transcribed messages. The ShoutOUT TXT comes with 25 voice credits, and you can purchase additional 50 voice credits for $1.99, 150 for $3.99, and 250 for $4.99.
ShoutOUT TXT voice recognition is server-based, and 100% automated. All message transcriptions are created without any human intervention whatsoever, so privacy is guaranteed. You can grab the app from here. (iTunes)

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
