This is just for anyone who was unsure of this feature that Bla1ze found months ago in the Dev Alpha. This video shows great features of BB10, but at 7:10 in the following video shows the keyboard with a "Voice Recognition" button beside the space bar...and the guy asks to see it and Vivek's response was funny, because they haven't officially announced the voice function on BB10, so Vivek wanted to avoid that one! Anyways! enjoy the video!

Voice typing, you mean. I wonder what it looks like and if it's real-time lime Android.

Isn't Siri on iOS real-time?

No. When you finish talking, it sends the data to Apple's servers where it's transcribed and sent back.

I thought Google did the same.

My bad

The interviewer asked a lot of BBM questions and it was like he was trying to push more features and info out of Vivek. It was funny.

Awesome video! Showed off a ton of screens that I hadn't seen before.

Definitely still glitchy in places (a few missed touches, buttons not having any effect until clicked twice, etc.) but much better than what I've seen so far. One thing that still confuses me is the use of the "Back" button. Isn't peek supposed to be enabled across all apps, and shouldn't we always be able to pull a screen back to peek at the previous screen?

There are probably quite a few advantages in doing that. A big one is that Apple gets a corpus of data with which to further tune voice transcription. Also, they can do much heaver processing on a server farm than on the device.

But Android's voice typing still works very well and it works offline.

Nice video and nice job of digging for more info.

It's gonna be great getting some surprises at launch.

I believe the Android real time speech to text requires a data connection.

Not since Jelly Bean 4.1.

Ah, ok. The last Android I used regularly was a Note on ICS.
