Class if you dont know the law here in australia

Not only is it illegal to write / read sms while driving, phone calls are
also illegal as they lead to accidents.

I wouldn't ask a question like that if I didnt have a decent reason to.

This means that you think that using a phone for talking with another
human is illegal but i isn't illegal talking into the phone to write a
SMS? What's the difference?

"No, policeofficer, I wasn't doing a phonecall. I was just dictating a
SMS! Believe me!"

And back to my original question. IS there software that can do this? Why
should you care about what I want it for anyway? I asked a simple question
and expected a simple Yes or No answer instead I get nothing relating to it
at all, just about what purpose I want it for?

I don't think so. I guess that must be a feature delievered from Nokia
because it would be a big security hole if a symbian or java program
is able to get access to the "sms writing machine" of the cellular. In
all other cases a installed software would be able to write SMS
itself.

I also think that the power of the CPU isn't strong enough to do a
voice recongnation.

Take a look at the software that Voice Signal Technologies has been
demonstrating. It allows dictation on a feature phone, not a PDA or
smart phone.

IMO the problem with voice recognition transcribing, is that it's often
not very reliable.

1) It needs ideal *quiet* conditions to work properly, something a car
speeding down the motorway/highway/interstate/autobahn is NOT going to
provide.

2) A headset with boom-mic is required for it to work at it's best.

3) You need to be constantly checking the screen to make sure what you've
dictated is transcribed correctly. Something I would NOT like to be doing
while at the wheel of a moving vehicle.

Can't sending a text wait until you've stopped somewhere ?

It's also a problem of memory.

Speech recognition software like 'Dragon Naturally Speaking', needs
copious amounts of memory(read couple of hundred megabytes), for the
dictionary/vocabulary. Something mobile phones tend to lack.

So for the moment, speech recognition on phones is going to be limited
to voice dialing.

How about a blue tooth car kit, you could completely hide it in your car
and no one would ever see it.
