Reader Bob Anderson has reminded me of a post I meant to finish up several days ago about IBM's ViaVoice. Of course, the iPAQ 3800 series ships with a version of the ViaVoice speech recognition software installed, but IBM now has similar versions for the 3600, 3700 and 3900 devices.
"When you 'Go to Mail', you can have all of your mail read to you, or you can read only selected messages. You can easily keep track of your busy schedule, all by using voice commands. In the 'Calendar' function, you can check your calendar for your next appointment, or add new ones. In addition, this IBM software gives you the added convenience of being able to listen to, rather than read information and messages."
The link above contains three different downloads for the:
• Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC H3800 - owners of Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC H3800 Series can refresh the IBM Embedded ViaVoice Mobility Suite version currently installed.
• Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC H3700 and H3600 - Embedded ViaVoice Mobility Suite will be available July 12, 2002 for Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC H3700 and H3600 Series.
• Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC H3900 - Embedded ViaVoice Mobility Suite for the H3900 is available for purchase or a free reduced functionality trial version for download.
The "refresh" files for the 3800 iPAQs are free, but the software for the 3600, 3700 and 3900 costs $29.95 apiece. I never really use this feature of my iPAQ, but I'd love to hear what those who have used it think.
Thanks, Bob!
