Cellnet will launch a voice-to-text service for users of its digital network next month.
Called Dictation Line, the service will allow subscribers to dictate messages into their mobile phones, to be received as emails, faxes or Cellnet SMS messages - the company's version of a simple message service used by many mobile operators.
The service relies on speech recognition software from Worcestershire-based Speech Machines. Cellnet said messages are delivered in less than two hours.
Brian Greasley, Cellnet's head of New Product Development, called the service a world first, and said it would prove particularly popular with professionals on the road.
The service will cost 59p per minute, including VAT.
