Text-by-voice

October 26th, 2005

Now here’s something I didn’t know…

You can send a text message to a landline. Well, here in the UK, I can, at least; it may just be a service from my provider. But if I send an SMS to my home number, the system calls me up and reads it to me using quite a good synthesized voice. It costs the same as a regular text message. Quite useful if you’re travelling…

Maybe I’m a bit slow and everybody else knows this already. But thanks to Tom Robson for pointing it out!

To create not a block, but an inline code span, use backticks: 

Here is some inline `code`.
