Voice reports

Post by enormekever
When I'm reporting accidents, speedcams, traphic, etc. I need to click in the client multiple times. This is not the safest way to drive. It would be a great new feature for the waze client if I could do this be voice-command.

I saw a lot of android apps appear in the market who can translate voice to text, so it must be possible technically. Not sure about other phone-types.

I prefer to keep my minimum three clicks. "report" "<type>" "send"

I can just see voice command driving down the highway.

"traffic"

Did you say road hazard?

No..."traffic"

Did you say police?

No..."traffic"

I did not understand you... try again.

:D

I think most phones support some kind of text2speech and speech2text API's nowadays.
