Microsoft talks up Pocket PC voice interface | |
|

| Time: 08:44 EST/13:44 GMT | News Source: VNUNet | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||

Talk to your Pocket PC - even in Glaswegian Microsoft has released software that allows users to control a Pocket PC using voice commands. Voice Command for the Pocket PC brings applications normally found on mobile phones to PDAs running Windows Mobile 2003. These include voice tag dialling, speech controlled navigation between menus, and application shortcuts such as asking: 'What's my calendar?' to get the day's schedule read out loud. "Voice Command provides a significant improvement in speech software that is dramatically changing the way people will use their mobile devices," said Pieter Knook, senior vice president for mobile and embedded devices at Microsoft. | ||

Ok, so maybe it's ok for those that want to look like Captain Kirk running around...
Otherwise you'll look pretty stupid talking to your note pad in a meeting. TL |

I really hate it when people have the stupid Nextel phones with the touch to talk crap.
It's like, I really didn't want to hear your conversation from down the block, but thanks. |

This article makes it seem as if an new version was just released. On Microsoft's site the version is 1.5, I have been running 1.5 for about a 1 1/2 months already.
To answer the question of practicality, I never press any button other than the button to activate voice command. I have too many names on my contact list to manual go and look for them. On the downside you can't activate it from a bluetooth headset. |
