Pocket PC Phone Edition fun
Posted by Andy Sjostrom in "SOFTWARE" @ 12:17 AM
I have been using TextAloud MP3 from NextUp.com for a while. The application reads any text and samples it into voice reading, using any of the installed voices. A great use of this is copying and pasting an article I don't have time to read, sampling it into an MP3 or WAV file and then listening to it while driving home from work.
Now, I have found another fun way of using it! My Pocket PC Phone Edition can play WAV files. So, anything I type and convert into sound can be used aa a ring tone or a sound signal for events like new mail, new SMS, ActiveSync connecting and so on! These are two samples I just copied over to my Pocket PC Phone Edition: "There is someone calling! Please, pick it up!" and "Pocket PC Phone Edition is now connected!". Fun!
