You'll no longer get sore fingers from texting - soon you'll be able to send texts messages with your voice! Read on to find out how...

THE days of tapping messages into a mobile may be over after a new app has been released which can turn speech into text.

You can dictate messages into the phone which displays on screen what has been said which can then be sent as a text or email.

Dragon Dictation is free to download on the iPhone. Similar apps are available for handsets such as the Android and Blackberry.
