Armed with a diverse portfolio of mobile technologies, Qualcomm began releasing a limited run of Toq watches last year—mostly to show off its energy-efficient, always-on Mirasol display technology. And now Qualcomm has advanced its “living proof of concept” model further by integrating voice dictation into the Toq’s text messaging feature. Powered by Nuance’s voice-to-text engine, Toq users can now respond to incoming text messages by tapping on a microphone icon, and uttering brief replies.

The Nuance engine adds correct punctuation marks when you voice “comma,” “period” or “exclamation point,” and you get a chance to confirm your message before you whisk it off to your conversation partner.
