Talking Caller ID?

yoi55 · 10-06-08, 01:35 PM

I have an AT&T Tilt and am using a Plantronics Explorer 220 Bluetooth headset. Is there any software that is already loaded or that I can buy that will add Talking Caller ID funcionality for when I have the headset on? I think it defeats the purpose of having the headset (I use it when I am driving) if you have to get out the phone and look at it to see who is calling.

Windows Mobile 6.1 Voice Command announces the number or the name (if it is in your directory).

I just checked out Voice Command and realized that it is $40! Is there any software that is free by any chance?

It comes as part of 6.1.

How do you set that up? I have had it announce email but not caller ID.

Instructions from one of the threads here. I forget at the moment, but a search should find it.......

Voice command does work on my Tilt anymore anyway. I try to enable it & I get an error. I could get it to work on my Hermes either. I'll probably have to try doing a hard reset which isn't a big deal.

Why don't you guys try out the High-tech speaking caller ID at Handango for the half of the price? I am using it for a while, not sure it can handle bluetooth headset.
