voice to text - "Sim free" -HTC say NO!

i email HTC to ask if the voice to text feature was disabled on the Sim Free version of the Desire and this is the response i got....
Thank you for your enquiry about voice to text.
Well the device does have voice to search via Google, so it should do. The only thing is you'll probably have to install some apps from market on the Device, hope this helps..

So any one with the desire ATM does the above work? (i.e voice to search) i find the answer vague so i have asked for a yes or no answer to the question i asked. i quoted the desirehtc website where it states this feature will be available.
if anyone else has emailed HTC on this subject i would be interested in the response you got.
UPDATE
HTC have now resopnded with a Simple "NO" you will have to use a 3d party App.

no voice search here.
cos it's using the HTC IME, it is missing the microphone key that you get on the Android keyboard to use the voice to text functions.
whoever answered that at HTC obviously didn't have one to hand to check and was probably looking at the nexus....

Afternoon all,
After enabling the 'Voice to Text' as shown on How To Enable Voice To Text using one of the links on page 2 I have now got Google search by voice working on a T-Mobile Desire.
You don't have to change over to using the android keyboard if you don't want to use the main voice to text functionality, but now pressing and holding the search button brings up a pop-up on screen with 'Speak Now - Google Search' and a microphone symbol.
Seems to work fine to me.

works fine for me too.

Maybe it's coming in another update, this is from the htc website desirehtc dot com
" Android 2.1...
What's that all about then?
Launched in January 2010, and known in the trade as Eclair, this is basically an update to the operating system. In laymans terms, it's a sexier looking interface. But it's not quite that simple.
Now, for example, your Wallpapers can be animated, injecting your screen with a new lease of life. This works particularly well with the AMOLED screen.
Rather excitingly, it brings us into a realm where voice-to-text is a reality in all text fields. Imagine sending texts or emails simply by talking to your phone. Now do it, we're there. "

I'm sorry but voice search has always been there...

Cheers mate... great help, 1 more reason 2 love Desire...

Back to my orignal post.....
HTC tell me the voice - search is available by default (i.e not installing any other SW) they say it has to be enabled in settings then it work when using the search key/menu?
any one confirm this?

Actually, I also got a similar answer from HTC. I'm from Singapore though. Thus, most likely it is an unlocked version. My question was:
"Does the HTC Desire support the speech-to-text function out of the box? Does it also support AVI files? Thank You."
This is what i got.
"Thanks for contacting HTC.
For HTC Desire, it does have the function for Speech-to-text, but it doesn't support AVI file.
Thank you for your continuous support of our products and services. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
We look forward to be of service to you again."
From this reply, it seems obvious what the answer is. But the truth, from those who already got the phone, are far from it. I had specifically said out of the box. But, as told by owners, you need to download apps and everything for this function. Just FYI, I do not own the Desire...yet XD

HTC says NO! to voice enabled in default.

QR code generator, NOT ONLINE

What is a good QR generator that is not online but actually installs on your computer? I dont like the online ones as it says on the page these will be made public and not for private....I want to do the same thing as the online ones but locally. The couple I have tried are not as easy as online like you just enter text in a box and hope for the best, no formatting like for vcard and the like, I want to pick Contact or SMS, etc for instance and have it all where you just put the info in each blank and it creates the code for you formatted correctly. Is there such a beast that is free?

I'm not sure I fully understand your adversity to online ones: Is it a concern they save your QR codes/display them to others? The most flexible online generator I use is http://keremerkan.net/qr-code-and-2d-code-generator/ and it works very well.
Also, from his FAQ:
Q: Do you harvest the information I enter to this form?
A: No, I don’t use the information you enter to this form in any means. After you create your 2D Code, the information is removed from my server.

I dont trust the online sites plain and simple, just because that one site claims that doesnt mean much to me, one of the biggest ones states on the page that the info you input is public and not for private. So again thanks for the link, but I specifically want an offline install to do this.

Try this one, I tried it and it works fine. You do have to activate it first though once you install it.

Try QRdroid. Not sure if it does what you want or not.

I think QRdroid goes to some online site because it says Enter Webpage to Encode.

Definately just made a QR from a contact directly on the app. You only have to upload it if you want a url.
