    I was wondering what the best speech to text app was for the iphone? (paid or free) I am looking for an app that will create a text based on what is spoken in order to not be texting while driving etc.

    Thanks

    Thread moved to the iPhone Apps and Games section.

    Dragon Dictation maybe what you're looking for.

    It would be nice to have this feature integrated into stock apps, but using Dragon Dictation is the best option for now.

    iOS 5 is only around the corner. I'm looking forward to seeing what Apple can integrate into their OS, with regards to speech to text etc.

    I use Vlingo for this. While the app itself is free, the ability to dictate a text message and have it sent automatically after a short delay is a paid feature. It doesn't work with my car's Bluetooth system but it works well all other times when I want to send a text message quickly but don't have the hands free to do it.
