A start-up company called Voice Signal Technologies Inc. which will sell speech-recognition software for cellphones that would let people compose and transmit text messages just by dictating them aloud and saying ''send."
"The impact that effective speech recognition would have on text messaging, however, is only the tip of the iceberg.
If it proved to be reliable, the technology could replace the need for keypads and screens on phones, because users could say a phone number instead of dialing it.
Such technology would bring down the costs of cell phones and make wireless communications affordable for billions of poor residents of the Third World.
''With full voice recognition, you could make phones very, very cheaply," said Richard J. Geruson, a former senior vice president with the Finnish cellphone giant Nokia who became Voice Signal's chief executive last year.
