New Task from Voice Action

michaelcaruso says:
Much like Android has built-in Voice Actions (http://www.google.com/mobile/voice-actions/) using the microphone button, RTM could have a voice action that allows users to say "New Task...buy milk" and a task is automatically created from the voice action.

I drive a lot with my phone in a car cradle and I'm always thinking of tasks as I drive. This would make it so much easier to add tasks without having to fumble to type out the task as I drive (also more safe!).

I'm not sure if the Android APIs have support for this yet, but it's worth a try!

An alternative would be a 1x1 RTM widget that, when clicked, transcribes the users speech into a task.

This idea is considered similar to "Add tasks by voice", and all votes have been transferred to that idea.
