Pebble Time users should soon get a lot more use out of the smartwatch’s microphone as voice control comes to a slew of new apps.</p><p>
When paired to an Android phone, the Pebble Time already lets users respond to messages by voice. But now, Pebble is extending voice dictation features to third-party apps, both for Android and iPhone users.</p><p>
So far, there aren’t a lot of apps taking advantage of dictation, but searching for “voice” in the Pebble app store reveals a few new additions. VoiceWeather (http://apps.getpebble.com/en_US/application/5620601c1c05d0e4dc000030), for instance, lets you say the name of a city to get the local forecast. Voice2Timeline (http://apps.getpebble.com/en_US/application/561f9188bcb7ac903a00005b) adds simple notes to  Pebble’s chronological Timeline view (http://www.macworld.com/article/2936059/apple-watch-time-travel-vs-pebble-time-just-how-big-a-rip-off-is-this.html).</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2993867/gadgets/pebble-time-expands-voice-controls-with-third-party-app-support.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
