When phoning, is there some way to 'say' the digits to a menu system in stead of having to enter them on the keyboard On my Samsung Galaxy S (running Froyo) I was phoning my voice mail system, where I have to press 1 to hear the message, 2 to erase the message ... you know what I mean.

When choosing a number I constantly have to remove the phone from my ear, enter a digit and than (quickly) put it to my ear again to 'hear' the new menu options.

I was just wondering: is there any way to say the digits , in stead of having to type them ?

That would be handy no ? Maybe , you have to press one button to start the system, but even that is preferable to the current way.
Basically, the problem with this is that your phone cannot distinguish between what you want to say and transmit to the other end of the conversation, and words you want to be commands to the phone.  What if you call an automated system that says "Say 'one' for X.  Say 'two' for Y."?  When you say 'one' or 'two', there's no way (without very advanced AI) for the phone to decide whether you intended to transmit that speech (e.g. "two") or intended it to be a command for the phone to dial ('2').

You could possibly have a custom dialer app where if you press a button on your phone, it stops transmitting your voice and accepts commands, and pressing again stops accepting commands and resumes transmitting your voice.  I'd bet a lot of money that no one has made such a custom dialer.

Of course, there are many phones where you can enter "pauses" into the dialer, followed by menu choices.  For example, 555-555-5555-PAUSE-PAUSE-PAUSE-2-PAUSE-1 will:


Dial 555-555-5555
Wait for the call to connect
Press '2' (for a menu option)
Wait for the next menu
Press '1' (for a menu option)


This might serve your needs if you know the menu layout, but otherwise I think you're stuck (unless you want to use headphones as Lie Ryan suggests).
