"Fonix® Corporation, an industry leader in delivering conversational speech solutions to consumer systems and devices for everyday use, announces the release of Fonix VoiceDial™ 2.0, the most intuitive, user-friendly speech interface software solution for mobile phones.

...• Customers may now choose from multiple languages including English, German, French and Spanish.
• Version 2.0’s support for both TTS and recorded prompts allows users to choose the most efficient and intelligible interface for their device.
• This upgraded version supports screen rotation (either Landscape or Portrait display) for added convenience.
• The VoiceDial 2.0 user interface is scalable for optimal device screen size.
• Users can minimize the interface so that it does not obscure information on the screen.
• Users can use their voice to access contacts on the device’s SIM card as well as in their Contacts list.
• Support for TTS on Smartphone devices. (Previously, the Smartphone version only allowed for recorded prompts, now TTS increases the usability for Smartphone users.)"
I've never been a big user of voice diallers, but this looks like a solid improvement to their product. Any Fonix VoiceDail users out there? Does 2.0 sound like it will address the shortcomings of 1.0?
