I checked it out, and it scored pretty high on the "Wow, look at this!" scale. The capabilities are impressive, especially the train-free recognition that it uses.

The problem is that it doesn't really do a whole lot; I just couldn't find any practical use for it. If I have my PDA in one hand I always have the stylus in the other, and its just faster and easier to use that way. And I'm definately not going to be sitting in a meeting room going "Start Freecell" unless I want to get a lot of ugly looks thrown at me.

I installed it, thought it was cool, and showed a few people around the office. A week or so later I uninstalled it to make more room for something else.

Yeah, that's what I figured what would happen in the end, thanks for both the views.

But wait one minute, is there voice dictation to Word?

That's one feature that would be really sweet, but as far as I know it doesn't do that.

BTW -- I'm writing this from my X3i, wirelessly. This new forum software works great.

Nope. It's not that accurate.

And with the speaker being put on the back of the unit it's difficult to hear the voice. Also the Mic doesn't have auto-level so it may not hear you correctly.

This software worked very very good on iPaq 3900 and 5xxx series with the speaker and mics on the face.

But even though it did work - I uninstalled it later because it wasn't of much use.

The COOOLest part was having your meetings announced to you - that impressed a lot of people

I tried to buy this for the wow factor , Im In the UK. But I couldnt get anyone to sell it to me. I guess microsoft didnt train it to speak in english(!). I cant download it from handango because it recognises me as outside of US.

Anybody want to sell me their copy 2nd hand ? and ftp it or post the CD send me a pm!.

I'd love to try this s/w out.

You really need to be in a quiet environment, and speak directly into the mic for it to work -- so I'm thinking that wouldn't be a good idea. You're much better off working from playlists and the scroll wheel than screaming a song title at it 50 times.
