| Description: | Yap9 was a unified mobile client that connects to the Yap freeform speech recognition platform. It contained a threaded text messaging application that allowed you to keep in touch with friends, family, and coworkers in realtime: by simply saying something, your words will then be converted into text within seconds, and sent out. Additionally, it unified the mobile web by allowing you to instantly access web services just by talking. You could search Google, Wikipedia, Yahoo!, YouTube, or interact with Facebook without having to type on your phone's miniature keypad. Modern versions of this for smartphones are being delivering by Yap's customers and partners. |

On the surface they seem similar, although the majority of those you deem competitors use humans for their conversion of audio into text.
