November 2006 (Medialink) -- It was a head to head or a "thumb to thumb" match in a classic competition of man vs. machine. The Amazing Race placed the 3-key and T-9 typists, including the world champion of text messaging, against new technology from Nuance Communictaions that allows mobile device users to dictate messages. Ben Cook, recently crowned the world champion of text messaging, recently raced against Nuance Mobile Dictation, the speech recognition technology that allows mobile phone users to enter messages using speech. Cook, a teen from Utah, holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest entry of a 160-character standardized message on a mobile device. The Nuance Amazing Race featured the same text Cook used to win the championship, as well as common text messages that users would send in day-to-day conversations. Cook's previous triple tap record for the standard message stood at 42.22 seconds. Nuance Mobile Dictation crushed the world record time, completing the message in 16.32 seconds. The complete Amazing Race competition featured four participants: Ben Cook using triple tap input; a competitor using T9 input; a typist using a Blackberry device with a full QWERTY keyboard; and Nuance's own staff member demonstrating Nuance Mobile Dictation. Contestants were scored based on the time required to complete the entry of the exact text messages, including appropriate spelling, punctuation and capitalization. In addition to the world record message, the contestants raced using messages average texters would send today. The contestants using the Blackberry and T9 devices came in a distant third and fourth at 30 seconds and 58 seconds. --------------------- --------- Produced for Nuance Communications

oops, typo..i meant to say "who disables t9" ;)
Xiaopang3333 (October 4, 2008 at 8:41 pm)
then this whole presentation is moot, because they want to show how much easier it is to use dictation compared to typing, but who disables typing just to make it even harder??

i mean really... 1 if it's noisy your text messeges will be altered 2 it's only usefull if your writing 1'000'000 messeges a day 3 why buy a new phone if your old one works? :D

uhm...in texting competitions you are not allowed to use t9
Oorakhhye (October 3, 2008 at 6:54 am)
that doesn't prove anything. If you use t9 you could go faster than the computer thus still making people text messaging the number one fastest way of communicating compared to voice recognition. Plus you usually text when you can't talk so what the hell is the use of this if you're somwhere loud or somewhere where you can't talk?
