Easily create Twitter posts by just talking into your iPhone!
Advanced Media Corporation (Head office: Toshima-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kazuyuki Hasegawa; hereafter referred to as "Advanced Media") has added a new function for posting to Twitter to its popular "Voice Recognition Mail" app for iPhone, which has been available since its release in July 2009. Starting September 7, 2009, this app will be available for sale at the App Store, the download service for iPhone and iPod touch applications operated by Apple, Inc.

The currently popular microblogging service "Twitter" originating from the US is a service that allows users to share various events occurring around the world in real time by posting and exchanging short messages of 140 characters or less in response to the question "What are you doing?" Posts are called "Tweets" and in addition to your own posts, posts from pre-registered acquaintances and other people are displayed on the screen in real time. It is a new and popular service that is expected to see an explosive increase in the number of users not only in the US but also in Japan in the future as a more familiar communication tool than email or blogs.
This time, we focused on the compatibility between "Voice Recognition Mail," which allows you to compose email text by voice, and "Twitter," which allows you to easily post to websites. Previously, "Voice Recognition Mail" was only compatible with email, SMS, and Maps, but by adding support for "Twitter," you can now post faster and more easily by simply speaking into your iPhone. Since the release of "Voice Recognition Mail" in 2009, in addition to improving the recognition rate through continuous data accumulation, it now also supports Twitter's unique phrases and terms, such as "~now," which is used to communicate your location or status. We have also added a new function to launch Safari after copying text, improving usability when pasting and using voice recognition results on blogs and other sites.
Advanced Media has made Twitter compatible with its voice recognition email app for iPhones, in order to allow a wider range of people to experience the convenience of voice input. We will continue to develop voice recognition technology for mobile devices.AmiVoice®We will continue to promote the further dissemination of this technology.
