Dial2Do is perfect for the text-challenged

I'm in new service called dial2do. dial2do turns voice into text and I'm actually making this calls by talking into my phone. Powered by Dial2Do

OK, so the service isn't perfect, but it is wicked cool. And it's free!

Dial2Do turns your voice into text and ties into dozens of services, ranging from e-mail, to Twitter to Remember the Milk.

My eldest son does nearly all of his communicating by text message. But texting on a cell phone is a laborious, frustrating endeavor for this cheap-phoned, fat-thumbed, glasses-needing, middle-aged skinflint.

Dail2Do lets me send texts to my son simply by talking, which, as my friends will attest, I have no problem doing whatsoever.

Even though Dial2Do might get a few things wrong, it will still likely have fewer typos than if I'm punching a note into my 222-33-555 # 7-44-666-66-33 (that's "cell phone" in texting hell).

And you can't beat free. Now that's cheap!
