Microsoft Voice Command 1.6: for Windows Mobile 5 and even 6!

If you were to ask me, what is the most useful software application for my iMate JasJam PocketPC I would easily say it's Microsoft's Voice Command. It's always the first app I load up whenever I get a new PocketPC or install a new ROM.

Microsoft Voice Command Benefits:

Speaker independent: no voice training required
New! Bluetooth hands free control: Bluetooth hands free control enhances your hands free eyes free experience and adds privacy to your spoken notifications. Now you can initiate a Voice Command interaction using a Bluetooth headset and some Hands free car kits*. You can also receive spoken notifications in a whisper mode through the Bluetooth headset keeping you privately up to date

New! Spoken Email notifications: You can now configure Voice Command to speak the subject and sender of incoming email messages and the content of SMS messages as they arrive

Spoken Caller ID: You can take full advantage of incoming caller ID without ever looking down at the screen. Incoming call information is spoken as calls are received. You can check for missed calls by simply asking, "What calls did I miss?" and Voice Command will recite the time and phone number of missed calls

Voice-controlled utilities: Users can start any program in the Start menu or programs folder, such as Inbox, Calculator or Solitaire. You can get signal strength, battery level, time and date by voice. Voice Command will even alert you when your battery is getting low

Voice-controlled hands-free phone: Whether in the car, at the airport or walking down the street, you will enjoy true hands-free eyes-free phone conversations without ever having to look at or unlock the device to manually dial a number. You can simply say any name from your contact list with the appropriate command.

Voice-controlled media player: Voice Command turns your device into a super cool personal DJ that lets you play your favorite music by artist, album or genre using voice instead of having to search through a long list

Voice-controlled calendar lookup: Regardless of your location you can simply ask your device about the next appointment or for your calendar for the day. The time, subject and location of each appointment will be read aloud or privately through the Bluetooth headset

I have been using Microsoft Voice Command for more than 2 years now and it's latest version is even better than ever. Voice Command allows you to perform many regular tasks on your PDA by use voicing commands, e.g. "Call Vincenzo Fulgeuras on mobile" will automatically dial the contact Vincenzo Fulgeuras from your contact list. I also like "What's my schedule?", where it reads out to you in order the schedule for the day.

The best thing? It requires absolutely no voice training and you can start using it straight away. Try it for yourself, I guarantee that it will become one of your favourites too :)
