Ok - simple question really. I have just got a new bluetooth headset which is great for voice dialling etc. However what I am looking for is software that will allow me to do any of the following:
1) Get my text messages read to me TTS over the headset
2) Get other info read to me TTS over the headset
3) Possibly dictate text message replies over the headset
Anyone heard of any software that attempts to do these?
1: MS Voice Command
2: mostly MS VC
3: I'd like that too
Voce command usually comes included with Windows Mobile 6, and can do a lot of things, like reading SMS, the subject and sender of emails, and stuff like that.
Cheer - have got a demo of MS VC but it doesn't seem very good at recognising me. Never the less I shall persevere. Am keepint an eye out for somthing like Dragon Dictate for PPC
My copy is pretty bad at recognizing my voice too, it statutely refuses to accept voice-dialing, for example.
Dragon software for PPC would be nice indeed, though.

Check out Jott - you can call Jott leave a message to yourself or anyone you like, and it will be transcribed into text and sent via email or SMS, or can be integrated into 30Boxes or other online organizers.
Sounds interesting but I am based in the UK and this looks liek a US only service

Hi, I don't know if a post has been put up, but I don’t know what to search for. I was wondering if any knew of any software on windows mobile 5 which will enable me to block specific incoming calls from my phonebook or calls as private or unknown numbers and sms/text messages.
Need something like this badly
MDA pro
This may be what you are after
I use Inesoft Address Book and it offers the functionality you require, except for text messages. The large contact photos and other enhancements are also very good.
THANKS mosgeo
Many Thanks mosgeo for you promt reply. Am downloading the cab version from the site. is this a full version?
Yes, completely non-crippled for 14 days. The bit you are looking for is the 'Incoming calls' menu item on the Today tray (bottom right, silhouette icon).
Incidentally, I found the Today ABC plugin took up too much room (and possibly slowed things down, not sure) and removed it via the options.

i am in a simular situation however is it possible to rather than block text messages from a particular contact i would rather not be notified, i.e. Dave sends me a text message and it notifies me as normal however if psyco girl sends me a message it wont flash up on my screen for all to see......
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...
Once upon a time, there was an MS customer who opened case with MS Premier Support regarding an issue with Contacts not being sent to the Car built-in BT HandsFree in the same format as they are displayed on the WM device.
It turned out that this is due to the BThAGPhonebook.dll which sends the name of the contact always in the form "FirstName MiddleName Lastname Suffix".
In opposite the contacts stored in MS outlook and synchronized to Pocket Contacts are displayed and sorted by FileAs field. Pretty often the customer has to use the Company attribute to differ the contacts of different people of the same name, but the company string is never sent to the HandsFree Contact list.
Because there is not exactly defined in the GSM AT command specification how the contact sent to the HF should look like and no one except this Customer never complained about it, it wasn’t accepted by MSPS as a bug but a feature request has been created.
The fact that the dialed numbers, missed and received calls is sent to the HF in the format of FileAs field, didn't matter to them.
For the customer it was very hard to accept that this is not a bug but a feature, he actually never admitted that, I wish there would be an alternative end of this story, but it is not, at least not yet.
What is your opinion?
1. It’s a bug which should be immediately fixed.
2. It’s a feature you would like to see in the future version of WM.
3. You don’t care.

tell me, what is wrong?
there is nobody using the car built-in bluetooth Handsfree?
I want to first say that I love the google voice search, when searching the web, the voice to text is excellent. Probably the 'killer app' for me on my phone. My question is why cant i get a simple thing such as Call Tom Jones at Home to work?
I say that & I the phone starts dialing some random person not in my phone book, it literally starts dialing some random company.
Considering how accurate it is on other areas of my phone, I dont get why this doesnt work.
I am using MS exchange & the built in email app, so my contacts are in the google contact app. I am also using CM 6.1 if that matters.
Any ideas would be great!
Thanks,
Rich
I have the same question, anybody could help?
Ive seen MS chose to combine IM and SMS and to me this looks really messy.
First of all the integration of IM is quite nice but I wish it was kept seperate from SMS conversations since these are to the majority of people still different than IMs and used on different devices or apps. I dont want to continue a conversation automatically on a different app or something. This will be very annoying to the other user.
Certainly if somebody just left his/her pc on or IM on accidently....
They should have added facebook private messaging as well and IM/SMS seperated like it was and just added a chat pivot in the messaging hub.
to me an sms is still something every user has always with him her, like when u send somebody an address or something it should be on their phones and not deliverd trough IM and its annoying having to switch first.
Its kind of short sighted implementation, the idea is good but the reality will be very annoying the way it works now.
you will get a ton of sms like notifications for every IM which can be annoying since on a chat conversation people send much more messages per minute than trough sms. Having to toggle online offline all the time will be a pita
am i the only one who thinks this will be garbage? Instead they should have allowed third party apps like whatsapp to use this on user permission. I hope I can switch off the live messenger. Or just revert back to the original sms screen
I like the idea to have an overview of my messages regardlessly whether they come via SMS, Windows Live or Facebook. Although I agree that getting notifications for all those messages shown on the SMS tile would be kind of overwhelming. But I can imagine Microsoft changes the way the tile works. So it still shows the number of SMS, but in addition to that shows an icon or something when you recieve a chat message from Facebook or Windows Live.
In my opinion.. the best feauture ever, of every OS. Loved that!
I love it as well, and think its nice not to have to go to 4 different places for my facebook, text, wlm & (eventually skype).
While I hope they either have a toggle setting for separate 'rows', or add it soon after Mango for those who really don't like it, I honestly doubt they want to mess it up by having too many places for messages. It fits in pretty perfectly with their vision for the overall UI design imo.
For me,M$ thread is not a new idea,it just copying the messaging app in the HP webos...however HP webos messaging is better,they can download apps that support HP connect and integrate into the messaging app(so,this means they can have more than 1 im clients in 1 messaging app).
Feel so sorry to HP webos,always being copied by others,even the UI design of playbook has been copied

Threading will be the beginning of the end for SMS IMNSHO. Most people still use SMS because it's what they know and are used to.
My wife is a great example, she keeps sending me SMSes while I'm out because that's what she's used to. Even though I've had email (and to some extent IM) on my phones since forever. With a "messaging hub" it takes all the guesswork out of the equation - she'll write the message as she normally does and the phone will decide whether it should deliver via FB, Messenger, Skype or SMS.
Now, if you don't want to continue the conversation if the user has moved to a different device you don't have to. The phone will tell you how the message was sent as well as what services the recipient is currently logged on to.

This just proves my point - you're used to SMS. And again, you can choose whether to send as SMS or IM.
Personally I find this feature great. Two things should be done to make it even better though;
1. Implement a industry-wide protocol so it doesn't matter if you're on a crackberry, iphone or windows phone. Sure, Skype and Messenger goes a long way towards achieving this but there are still people who use smaller IM services only.
2. Allow third-party apps to hook in to the messaging hub - there's a few apps out there today that are not chat apps as such but still implement messaging. Being able to receive (and reply to) these messages from the same place would be great. It would also make it easier for other IM services to integrate with the OS.

But why? Are you less likely to want to read a message coming in thru Messenger than one delivered via SMS? I for one don't care how my messages are delivered, I just want to be notified. It's a bit like having three post boxes outside your house - one for deliveries by DHL only, another for Deutsche Post and a third for everyone else - i.e. pointless
I really like this new feature as well. I am confident that any replies you send to someone will use the same service they used to "text" you, unless you choose to change it. People on non-WP7 phones won't suddenly need to be jumping all over the place.
On the other hand, when other people send you messages from multiple sources (SMS, FB, WLM, etc), you will be able to get all of the messages in one convenient place. I like that.
