Im interested in purchasing this phone soon. Does the Voice to Text feature works pretty accurate during texting?

Yeah it works pretty well, but honestly, using swype lets you send a message with 160 characters in 20-30 seconds

I think it works good. It blanks out cursewords automatically. But i use my speech to text feature all the time.

Its built into the O/S, there is a little microphone button on the keyboard(under the Z key). Just tap that and start talking.

I don't know about the swype or regular keyboard but I've been pleased with the voice to text functionality - its pretty accurate and I don't have to correct so many fat finger mistakes I make from the keyboard.

I talk rather slow and more or less like a robot and it seems to work well. Its really important to speak clearly with no slang lol. It is pretty accurate. In the car with the windows down I have to yell at it and even then sometimes it doesnt pick up anything.

Swype is way more important then voice to text. This phone is pretty imposible to type on without swype if you are coming from a TP2 or something similar. However if you get Swype the voice key gets lost and you have to hold down the text area to switch back to the stock keyboard. The Swype beta when release should have the voice key on it. I am not saying it will I am saying Swype needs to get smart and but it on it.

Well, since you're are talking about texting you are just in luck my friend! Everyone who has an EVO (and an ear) please use the voicemail app! This app lets you send a voicemail to any phone that can receive voicemail.......its really close to push-to-talk!

Just hit the "all apps" button and navigate to the icon that says "voicemail" all the way at the bottom! Once in there hit "menu" then hit "compose!" Select a number from your contacts or manually put it in.......then you can record a 2 minutes voice message and send it to whoever yo choose to!

The receiver will get a text that has a number and once hey click on the number they can hear the message....and reply back without even calling they're voicemail!

EVERYONE SHOULD TRY IT OUT.........ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE EVOS!
