Speaking instead of typing a text message

Does anyone know if there is an app available that will allow you to speak your text in text messaging? I have seen speak to text apps. but they are all for email. My old Droid phone had a mic icon on the keyboard so if I needed to send a text to some one I could just push the mic and it would type what I say.
I appreciate any help someone could give me in this matter.

seaching the itunes app store, I see at least 2 apps, Cloud Talk Messenger (free) and Voice Text Pro (4.99)

When typing a text message my iPhone 4 now speaks some of the words as I type. Where did this feature come from and how do I turn it off?

When typing a text message on my iPhone, a voice now speaks some of the words. Where did this come from and how do I turn it off?

You have VoiceOver turned on. See p. 230... http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf

I typed a text message from my iphone 4 to my wifes iphone 4 but she did not receive it. What to do?

I typed a text message from my iphone 4 to my wife's iphone 4 but she did not receive it. The iphone user guide does not explain text messaging. Help.

Even if he did hear the sound, there is no guarantee that the other end will receive it. There have been times in the past when my wife has sent me text messages that I never received. Heck, before we were married, I sent her a letter via US Snail that she never received. There is no guarantee of delivery for text messages or email, although email does tend to be more consistent that text messages (and cheaper too).

imessage will send as a SMS when it is unavailable either thru a weak wifi or cellular data signal. OR the other side has imessage turuned off.

IOS5 displaying phone number instead of name in text message screen

At the top of the text message screen, where it used to say the recipient's name, it now says their phone number. I cannot find any settings as to change this. It happens to others who have iMessage on. If they do not have an iPhone, or their iMessage is off, it still says their name.

I fixed this problem by:
1. Turn iMessage off
2. Turn iMessage on
3. Verify contact is in contact list
4. Deleting the text message series prior to the one you want to send. Say you've texed Bob Dole 1000 times, delete the entire thread. Then, hit new message, load Bob Dole from contacts, and send.
For me, this ended the above problem.

N73 freezing whilst typing a text message

Hello,
I have recently bought the Nokia N73 and love everything about it except that sometimes when i'm typing a message it keeps freezing and I have to wait for it to 'catch up'. At first I thought it was because I had the bluetooth on of which I have now switched off and still the problem occurs & I always send a message with no other applications open. So I'm running out of ideas... any suggestions??

Can you get rid of the alternative letters when typing a text message? Ie all the accented versions etc?

I've just upgraded from and iPhone 3GS to the iPhone 5 and I'm finding it really slow to text because you have to wait for it to bring up all the options.
Before it'll put the letter there.
I don't have them on my iPad.

Hi Victoria, guess I should have thought ahead and not assumed you were US-based...can never tell when a poster has flawless English
Good to hear the problem is cleared up, but curious about the US keyboards since my iPhone has three plus the British.
Another trick when the iPhone gets slow or acts up, do a reboot, also called a soft reset, by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts. If the red slider appears just ignore it and the iPhone will eventually do the logo-restart. That clears a great many minor problems in the operating system.

Why do I no longer get the banner of word choices while typing a text message?

Why does the banner of word choices not appear on the keyboard while texting like it used to?

The selection screen may be collapsed (if you see a thin, darker line just above the key board with a shorter lighter line in it, swipe up)
Settings app > General > Keyboards Predictive (make sure this is turned ON)

Every so often my screen flashes black when typing a text message. It happens randomly. Does anyone have any idea what to do?

When texting my screen randomly flashes black and won't respond. Has anyone else experienced this or knows what to do?

Try Reset PRAM.
Some of the display settings are stored in PRAM.

Can I shut off auto-correct when typing text messages

When I am typing a text message, my phone auto corrects. Is there a way to shut this feature off?

You can turn it off but it will be off for all uses on the phone, not just text messages. The on/off control is in Settings > General > Keyboard

Second phone number for a contact wont appear as an option for text messaging on iPhone 4/IOS6

My iPhone 4 (IOS6) is a work phone and my number is blocked (I have to call a lot of people while out of the office who I don't want to have my cell number). Since I want my friends to know it is me when I call I save their phone number in my contact list with *82 in front of their number. However, I learned that text messaging doesn't seem to work with *82 in front of the number so I also have each contact saved as a second number without the *82 at the beginning for texting only. After "upgrading" to IOS6 I have found that my texting number won't show up when I type the contact name into the address bar in the text message app, just the *82 number that won't work. It used to list all numbers associated with that contact. I know I could just send them a message from the contact card one time and then just open the thread in the messaging app every time after that, but since I am often driving when I am out of the office I use Dragon dictation to compose my texts and then only have to type the contact name into the address line each time instead of typing an entire message. Long story short, I really need it to list all numbers for each contact and not only the one they randomly decide I might want. I have also checked my contacts and ensured that the non-*82 number is listed first in the contact card, that didn't change anything.

There is an option in the Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. Of course this means that your screen layout will be reset but maybe this will 'bump' those hidden apps out of the 'invisible 5th row'. It's worth a try I guess. Did you check to make sure the apps weren't pushed to like the very last screen instead?

My sent text messages are received, but are from my email address rather than my phone number since updating to iOS 7.

Fellow iPhone users have complained that my text messages are not longer associated with my phone number. Instead, they see my texts messages as from my email address.
The problem started after I updated to iOS 7. How can I resolve this? I would rather not continue to confuse friends/family when they receive a text message from an email address they do not recognize when it was in fact sent from my phone.
Thank you.

Thank you!
I think it's odd that the default setting is now your email rather than your phone, however... Very confusing for me and other iPhone users I know.

How do you add downloaded smileys to the emoticon page in the text message

Hi:
I just got a Blackberry Q5 and am still figuring out how to use it. I get how to access the smileys in the emoticon menu of the text message, but I downloaded some new smileys and was wondering if there's an easy way to load them up, instead of existing the text message, loading the downloaded smileys, copying and pasting them, and then returning to the menu. It seems like a lot of effort. Like, what's the point of downloading smiley's if it's this hard to use them.
Does anyone know how? Thanks.

You can set the destination of downloads in your browser's preferences. For example, in Safari, on the menubar, Safari > General tab > Save downloaded files to:
Direct them to a folder (like the downloads folder) and then put a shortcut on the dock.

9300i stops displaying names in text messages

I have a 9300i phone and until two days ago it displayed the text sender's name for received messages. Now it displays the number. This is happening with all messages and they are in my address book with the correct number.
If i select a text message and press 'call sender' it then displays the number and also the name from my contacts.
I don't remember changing any settings.
Has anyone experienced this before?
Is there a setting I can check to turn on name resolution?
Thanks, Stu.

no, it was very strange i rebooted the phone twice and that didnt work.
I was typing a text message and it bombed, and when it came back up again it seems to be working properly now.
That is, i've had two texts and it shows both names correctly. I'll have to see how it goes.
