VITO Voice2Goto rival Microsoft Voice Command after a month on the market!
VITO Voice2Go has been only one month on the market and has already become not only one of the best-sellers but also a real rival of such giant as Microsoft Voice Command.
Both Microsoft Voice Command and VITO Voice2Go have common functions and strive to simplify managing Pocket PCs hands-free. With any of these programs users can call up their contacts, start applications, i.e. control their Pocket PC without using stylus and buttons. All they need is simply to say a command and let VITO Voice2Go or Microsoft Voice Command work for them.
This basic functionality can still be extended in case of VITO Voice2Go. This application gives you some more functions not supported in Microsoft Voice Command. First of all it works with complex macros that you can assign to a single voice command. It means you don't need to go over with all the tedious stylus tapping every time you want to open your favorite web site for example. Another thing Voice2Go has to offer you is to tell you who is calling. To enable this option you need to record a voice command. In fact, you will need to do it for every command you are going to use. And here we come to the third advantage of Voice2Go over Voice Command.
VITO works with any language whereas in Voice Command you can give commands only in English given you have native pronunciation. It means with Voice2Go you have greater freedom and wider choice.
Some take it as a disadvantage that you need to create a record for every command you want to perform in VITO Voice2Go. Actually in Voice Command the problem remains as you still need to find and read all the command you will use, which takes some time, right? Then you can never be sure that a next new program you are going to install on your Pocket PC will be recognized by Voice Command. Voice2Go stores carefully all the commands you have taught it.

Could you please explain this better because I'm just not getting it.
Regarding new programs being recognized.....
In my experience, Voice Command is just very simple speech recognition in that it simply takes your spoken command (in English) and compares it to the text name of all .LNK shortcuts in the Start Menu.
As long as a .LNK exists in the Start Menu, Voice Command will try to find it and no learning or recording is necessary.
In this respect I have found that I get better performance by renaming certain .LNKs to better reflect the English language, i.e. renaming "Calc98" to "Calc 98" or "QTris" to "Q-Tris".

right! HUGE drawback. IBM Via Voice works the same way and I simply hated it. you have to manually pre-record everything which can take quite some time not to mention the storage space the recordings will require. I simply think that this is not voice recognition, its just wave matching. bascally what almost all the cell phones are capable of.

not really. you just say start/open "prog name" and it'll execute virtually anything given the link is under programs. I put tons of links and it works great. it also works nicely with system executions like date, time, brightness/volume control.. reads out tasks and appointments with time and place.. far far better than Voice2Go.
..thanks Frenchy for posting this.

Agree with you, this requires lots of preparation before you can use it. However the advantage is for non-speaking English people, you can use this virtually with any language.

I have both products Vito Voice2Go and MS VC but can not use them.
I still think MS Voice Command is much more intuitive and easier to use. However I have to stop using it (GRRRR..) on my Axim X50v, Due to memory limitation (MSVC needs 5MB in RAM), my other QVGA devices work fine with MSVC.
Vito Voce2Go is OK but time to get the result is several step process (turn on, say the cammand, accept the command,...) and the built-in sound is irritating everytime you activate..The Magicword never works right...
This IN NO WAY rivals voice command. compare 1 button push to 3. Or the Lack of a decent menu system. or how about the way you need to train the program for an hour or 3 to get even close to the functioanlity.
Well.. if it is by VITO.. then I will not get near it with a 10 foot pole!.. These guys provide terrible support for their products.. Oh well.. looks like a nice product too.
Training is a deal breaker, I have a demo of the misrosoft on a QTEK, best software Ive found so far, and works with WM5, need a registry hack to use the headset tho

What I would realy like to see is vocal recognition.
I have Dragon Speak, but don't want to sync to get the translation. I want it when I say it.
Is that too much to ask?
It's not like the version of DS that I had running on my 486 DX2 wouldn't fit or run nicely . . . . it just isn't coded for pocket pc.
As for voice command. I can't imagine the joy of saving . . . what, about a second / or a couple screen taps.
No. When it types for me. Then I'll be happy

Look, guys, Voice2go is app for ANY language (not only for english speaking people), it provides you with greater flexibility, for the price of spending some time, maybe. And it's voice recognition is good, but it is optimized not to recognize commands from anyone except you - so if you catch a cold or simply change the way you pronounce a command it can refuse to understand you. :rolling:
It is possible that V2Go is not a rival to VC - just another good application for a bit different goals. For instance: Macros (it is one of the main features, IMHO); contacts that i want to be written one way, but sound another way ("fat-ass" for my boss :realmad: or assign "Mein liebe" to a next new girlfriend each week ); difficult to pronounce or not-installed applications...an so on...
2Pesto: what you don't like about their support ???

hey calm down there bud....... It's a different way of solving the same problem. Here's why it didn't work for me (and I tried quite a few of them).
On my (ex) MdaCompact pocket PC phone It uses my address book for all the contacts. with Vito I would have to train 300 contacts at 30 seconds each which is nearly 3 hours of my time. (and can i back up the voice files). Voice command just did it, no training at all (and very good recognition success)
Although without the phone part I just don't see the need for either app
