Seems a little sneaky/dishonest of you to not mention the 20 incoming(EDIT: should read compose) sms limit for the app, without paying $20/year. Here is the copy from the android market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sonalight https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sonalight Text by Voice allows you to safely text while you drive entirely through voice. There's no need to touch or look at the screen at all. Text by Voice will automatically read incoming text messages aloud and give you a chance to respond. You can also set an auto responder for incoming text messages, and have Text by Voice start automatically when you start driving. Text by Voice lets you compose texts on the fly. It runs in the background so you can use other apps at the same time. Drive more safely with Text by Voice.

The limit is only for composing a text. You can receive an unlimited number of texts. Did you get the impression that you could send unlimited texts for free? (serious question- it's not our intention at all)

  Sorry, I definitely meant to write 'composing' not 'incoming'. That is really the impression I got as it's not mentioned anywhere in your description. I was wondering what your monetization scheme would have been. I predict that you will open this up to unlimited texts and charge for other actions.

    We're going to be more flexible with our monetization in the next few weeks. $20/year for unlimited was a last minute addition to the launch so that we could get feedback like this. We don't want to pigeonhole ourselves into one model just yet. Opening it up for unlimited sending and charging for other actions is definitely on the table.

      My other piece of advise is that I would stay far away from being compared to Siri. You will by definition always lose, as you are not processing contextual statements. Just bill this is a (big)improvement on Google Voice Actions.
