Cambridge-based Vlingo is trying to make voice enabling applications easier, by using their own speech-to-text J2ME/Brew application API (Windows/Symbian later this year). Using the API, developers will be able translate a userís voice to text, and use it in their application as if typed directly into the program. One of their first examples was for local search and shopping. Vlingo voice-enabled a text box on the program you could fill out by holding down the talk button and saying a phrase, like ìPizza in San Franciscoî. The system then fills in the form with what you said, letting you modify the text normally if it gets it wrong.
