hello, as im new to this site, i was just wondering if their is a programme out there somewhere that writes a text as you say it, not sure if sort of thing exist. thanks.
Try Jott. While a service, rather than an application, it takes dictation for sms and email beautifully.

Does anyone know of any Windows Mobile 6 Voice SMS programs?
I drive a lot, and typing on a small keyboard while driving is not all that comfortable. So i was wondering if there is any program which would let me speak the words into a SMS message and the words would translate into text.
I don't think most PPC devices really have the muscle for accurate speech to text. It's only recently that it's quality has gotten fairly acceptable for PCs with processors a good 10-15 times faster than most PDA phones have available to them.
I use Jott (www.jott.com) semiregularly and it's a really nice service. If you're based in the USA, you find it useful for your needs.
As avatar said, I don't think PPCs have the processing power (yet).
As avatar said most software in this category is quite unreliable. If you do a google search for this software are try the first few options available you will discover this for yourself

I was looking more of a program which will allow me to speak out a text message and convert my words into text so I can send a text message to a phone number. Jott only sends out emails.

yeah ive been hunting for something like that for a while... still looking. As far as text to speech goes the best available is textspeech pro
I am searching speech to text software for a long time too. I really want to record my job meeting by my phone and it can convert the meeting converasation to a word document or PDF file, then it is easier to make a memo for the meeting. Also, I don't need to busy to drop note in the meeting.
If anyone who know that kind of Program?

Thanks for your reply, but the software you mentioned above is a text-to-speech,
software but not a speech-to-text. They are not the same kind of software.

I'll keep looking!
I know that there are apps for speech to text for the iphone and for Blackberrys. Somebody's gotta be able to do it.
Try Dial2Do
Someone above said that Jott doesn't do texts. I used to send text messages while driving with them all the time. According to their website they still do it. But I quit Jott when they went out of beta, and switched to Dial2do. Same functionality, as far as texting goes, but a free service.

Try Speereo
Well ther's a new app called tellme which uses your voice for text, searching internet and many other features... just a quick search here and it will take you to the thread but its only compatible with WM6.5, and you need to install microsoft voice command before installing tellme...
'lo.
Apologies, I'm a bit of a noob around here. I asked about this in IRC and I got a few half-answers. Essentially, I'm one of those guys who keeps logs of most things. That said, I want to remove the text messages from my phone, but have them backed up and readable on my computer.
The reason for wanting to remove them has to do with the fact that someone suggested that the 1500+ text messages are (for some silly reason... text... of all things) slowing down my Fuze. This would make sense, since I noticed that using Mystic Series, my phone has slowed down over time... and since text messages (non-graphical in nature) are all that I've gained, this theory would make sense.
I've used PIM Backup... but how do I backup text messages to my computer where I'm able to read them?
Many thanks!
if you have a mac you could use missing sync which has that option while on the pc side i believe theres another software for it. But you could also use vito sms chat to make a complete backup of each conversation thats readable by a computer...
hey im looking for this too, but for windows
ive already researched jeyo mobile extender and pocketexport
which one of those is better and is there anything else?
tried out pocketexport, wasn't able to get it to function. Was going to do Vito SMS Chat, but didn't get around to it.
I ended up using Microsoft MyPhone. I happened to stumble upon the SMS "Archive to Internet" feature. Unfortunately, you can't just select "Archive All". You have to go by pages of messages (I had to "Archive All" 122 pages). However, everything is backed up in a readable format online, and it removes it automatically from your phone, giving you the option to restore later.

One question. Does it put them back in there original threaded format?
Have you looked into Dashwire? It allows you to sync almost all of your phone content (or whatever you select) to a free online service. Text messages, contacts, pictures and videos, etc. I have been using it for a bit now and am pretty happy with it. If I can find a better option that will allow me to do this with a local machine I will take it as I would prefer to have everything on my own systems (I,too, am one who likes to keep copies of everything) and I have not yet tried to find a way to move the archives from the Dashwire service to my home systems.
The service definitely is not an ideal solution but it works for now.
myphone.microsoft.com. its awesome. use it.
Google is not making a Google Voice app for WM6.x, period. I don't think anyone can argue with that fact. After seeing how beautiful GV integrates with my wife's Samsung Galaxy phone, I decide to find ways to integrate GV with WM6.x. Here is what I have:
1. Make sure the contacts and email are synchronized with GV account. It actually saves major headache.
2. For dialing out using GV, I highly recommend iDialer + iContact. They can both be found under "Windows Mobile Apps" at http://www.supware.net/. The combination allows to dial any contact number using GV directly. And it's free.
Personally I use the "calling card" setup, which my phone calls my GV number first, then "2", then destination phone number (it's all done automatically using iDialer). It takes about 30 seconds before I hear it rings the destination phone so it's actually pretty quick, and almost guaranteed to always work as it doesn't depend on Google's server.
3. For SMS, there are many ways. EasySMS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=604699) is pretty cool but I don't want to load another app. Here is what I have found out. Since I asked GV to forward all SMS to my Gmail as Email, I paid attention to the sender. It's always like this:
15551234567.16661234567.&#&#&#&#&#@txt.voice.google.com
15551234567 is my GV number, 16661234567 is the number where the SMS is coming from, &#&#&#&#&# is a unique ID for each phone number. I noticed this unique ID is always the same for that particular phone number no matter when the SMS was sent. Now things are simple, I save this email as the primary email address in the contact info. When I need to SMS someone, I just send an email from my Outlook to that Email address, and the other person will receive the body of the message as SMS (info in subject line is discarded automatically). In iContact, this is very convenient.
When they text me back, since my Gmail is "push" synchronized with my phone I get the message as an email immediately, and I may reply the message by reply that email.
4. For those contacts that did not SMS me in the past so I don't have this Email address available. So what do I do? Like the iPhone Google Voice interface? You can do it too from WM6.5! I use Iris browser:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-iris-browser.html
I know it's discontinued but it still works well since it's HTML5 supported. After installing that browser, navigate to:
https://www.google.com/voice/m?uipref=1
Notice that "uipref=1" is the magic part. Without it, you see the old DOS style GV interface. With it, you have this full dialpad and everything iPhone browser would show you. Wait a minute, why do I still need iDialer if I have this? Well, the "Call" function actually is not recognized by Iris browser Besides it's 100 times faster to load iDialer on any device I owned. But the SMS function works very well. Again, once you receive the first SMS from your friend to your GV number then you may save the Email address to the contact info so you only use this occasionally.
If you don't care about the UI, you may use any other browser, just navigate to:
https://www.google.com/voice/m
Don't include the "uipref=1" part as those non-HTML5 browser won't render the page correctly.
The only reason I need the fancy UI is because that's the only mobile UI that would allow me to actually *delete* a voicemail or a text, instead of just archiving it.
I know there are many WM6.x users out there that would like to use Google Voice on a daily basis. Hope this helps someone down the line.
a small change since I posted this last time: I got rid of Iris. First I don't use the fancy dial pad since I dial from iDialer anyways, second Iris keeps crash with the slightest browsing and accumulate cache file very quickly (couple of min browsing could end up with a cache file of more than 30 Mb).
Here is the modified plan:
I still use www.google.com/voice/m in opera mini to access most of the important functions of google voice quickly. When I need to delete a voicemail, I use this address:
www.google.com/voice/m?uipref=1#~voice:s=inbox&l=inbox
Alternatively you may navigate to:
www.google.com/voice/m?uipref=1 then click "inbox"
Since I have opera mini memorized my login credentials it's easy to access the inbox thru the "fancy" interface and perform a delete. However since opera mini is not an HTML5 browser this becomes pretty much the only function it's good at.
This way I don't need to install a pretty much dead browser (Iris) on my phone and also have my password remembered by yet another browser. It's also very convenient too.
Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anyone knows how to get the Android to read my emails to me?
I've tried using both Gmail, and the mail application and can't get it to use Text To Speech.
Is this something that needs the application to be specifically designed for TTS, and if so are their any applications around that support it. (Although I find it hard to believe that Google's own flagship mail apps don't.. but I've been known to be wrong before... or so my wife tells me)
Cheers

Hi guys!
I was just wondering if their is a tweak/hack/app/way to set a timer for a SMS.
Like telling your phone to send a specific text to a specific person on a specific time.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks!
In theory, such an app could be written. The official SDK doesn't support automatically sending SMS, but the APIs exist and a homebrew app could use them. I don't think anybody has ever bothered to write such an app, though.
That's sad/
Anyway, thanks for clearing this one up.
I'd like that ability too. Unfortunately (using the official routes) Microsoft only make available to developers the ability to create a text message, and then launch the phone's sms application - leaving it for the user to press send. The code isn't able to do the sending so an app wouldn't be able to do it via the phone's own SMS at a scheduled time. You would also have the problem that if you set it to be sent more than two weeks in advance, and didn't go back into the app during that time, the scheduling 'agent' that runs in the background on the phone would expire after two weeks (so the sms would never be sent).
There are however some web sites that do it - e.g. http://ohdontforget.com/
You might be better using a web site anyway due to them being always on (whereas a phone might be off or out of signal at the scheduled time).
It would be possible, however, to write an app that uploads the text to an on-line service (such as the one mentioned as it has a developer API) so that a web server could reliably take care of the scheduled send - and then perhaps sending a push notification to the phone to confirm it has been sent.
Hey, I think here is one app for that, I didnt have time to look it totally through...

Did any1 try the app?
