Jawbone selects Yap Speech Cloud for Voice Messaging App

Yap announced today its selection by Jawbone to provide speech-to-text capabilities in its THOUGHTS iPhone application. THOUGHTS allows users to easily send quick voice messages to individuals and groups, without typing or calling. Additionally, for situations when a user may prefer to read a message, audio messages can be transcribed instantly into text. Jawbone THOUGHTS, with Yap�s speech recognition, is available now for download at the Apple iPhone App store.



Composing text messages can be awkward and tedious, particularly while multitasking or distracted. A simple message like �let�s get together for dinner tonight� can require more than 40 keystrokes, taps and swipes. With THOUGHTS, users can conveniently speak their messages requiring drastically fewer keystrokes and less time than typing a text message.



Yap�s Speech Cloud provides fully automated, high accuracy speech recognition via a simple web services interface. Using this interface, Jawbone was able to quickly integrate Yap�s speech recognition into its THOUGHTS application with just a few lines of code. [http://www.desinformado.com]
