Pat Phelan, the mastermind behind Cubic Telecom and MAXroam has launched a brand new service called Twitterfone. It uses speech recognition to turn your voice into tweets on your Twitter account.

A number of services also provide a similar service: Jott and Spinvox come to mind. However, Spinvox is a pay service and Jott is "free in beta." However, this is focused only on twitter, and it's bog simple to use.

Local country numbers are available in 10 different countries, including the US, UK, and Ireland. Local numbers in 40 countries are expected within the next 6 weeks.
