I just got a Motorola Droid, and I think it's fantastic. I've never even had a smart phone before, and this is amazing.

I'll be checking my email a lot on the phone, and I'd like to be able to give voice response/speech recognition when replying, insteed of typing the message. The slideout keyboard is OK, but it's still hunt and peck with big fingers.

Anything out there that can do this for Android 2.0?

Looks like "TalkToMe Keyboard" and "Holla!" are possible candidates?

I installed the TalkToMe program, and it seems to recognize my speech quite well if I speak slowly, but it only enters one sentence at a time, then I need to reactivate it.

Am I missing something?

Otherwise, it would be pretty good.

I use Handcent SMS for the ability to dictate TXT messages and it's awesome. I too would love something to send email this way. Don't mind 1-sentence at a time because having to speak slowly and properly, one can usually only think one sentence at a time, but it should come back ready for the next, not need to be re-instantiated.
