We have mentioned SayIt a couple of times in the past - first for BlackBerry smartphones and then for the BlackBerry PlayBook. The voice recognition application is now available for BlackBerry 10 and over at BB10 Jam in Amsterdam we got to sit down with the developer who talked us through the app. We suffered a little with our internet connection unfortunately and some results took a while but the actual voice recognition was pretty quick.
BlackBerry 10 obviously comes with its own voice recognition application but it is currently lacking in many features that SayIt has to offer - such as asking the weather and getting results nicely displayed on the page without actually jumping over to the web browser. Language translation is also present - just choose which language you wish and then ask the BlackBerry what you wish to translate - sweet. Text-to-speech works in a variety of applications including BBM, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. For the whole range of features grab the link below or why not just download it to your BlackBerry Z10 and jump into the menu where all the features are laid out in a simple fashion.

First Look: Type and Go on the BlackBerry Q10 with Vivek Bhardwaj
Something pretty cool was -- albeit briefly -- shown off during this morning's keynote at BlackBerry Jam Europe. Type and Go is the BlackBerry 10 iteration of Universal Search and will be coming to everyone who goes out and grabs a BlackBerry Q10.
