Windows Phone 7.5 “Mango” to Feature Advanced Voice & Dictation

Windows Phone 7Android has voice interaction throughout the OS.  iOS 5 will also feature updated voice commands.  But Windows Phone 7.5 “Mango,” the upcoming version of Microsoft’s smartphone operating system may have them both beat… if it actually works.

According to a new post at the Windows Phone Blog, Windows Phone 7.5 will feature advanced voice-based prompts and interaction. 

Here’s an example from the post:

WP: [music pauses]You have a text message from Cody Pardi. You can say read it or ignore.
Me: Read it.
WP: “When will you be home?” You can say reply, call or I’m done.
Me: Reply.
WP: Say your message.
Me: “In about 20 minutes.”
WP: [The phone transcribes and repeats the message] You can say send, try again, or I’m done.
Me: Send. [music resumes]
