I've quested a long time to find a program that just works for this exact purpose. I've pulled my hair out trying to convert csv files in excel and coming up short with random programs that are shareware for the simple act of transferring text files from my phone to my computer - a feature that should be a no-brainer for any and all mobile devices. This program does this so elegantly (and is, AFAIK, freeware). Hie thee hence, ye'all who are searching for an sms export program go here: http://www.smsexport.com/ and be amazed.
This program will take your entire sms archive and put it into a text file. It won't put it into any fancy dandy exotic file that you can't read or have to sort or cut you off with only a few txt messages "for a trial". This is the real deal.
If this is a re-post, double post, known info, w/e then I do apologize. But having scoured these forums and not finding too many complete solutions I figured I'd oblige. Also be sure to choose the PDA version.
Discuss.
Very cool prog!
I also searched for a possibility to save sms on my pc

hi,
I use microsoftwords to do my company letter head,
when i transfer the letter head to my XDA lli.
It dont look the same at all.
My company name font became other type.
anyone know i can get this done?
You need to copy the fonts used on your PC to your PPC. Even then you may find that the letterhead does not look anything like it does on the PC. PocketWord only supports a subset of the functionality of Word. Anything it doesn't deal with is stripped out when you copy the document across to the PPC.
If you need to use complex documents you probably need to look at something like SoftMakers TextMaker.
Anyone know of a utility that will take a text file as input and spit out a simple GIF/JPG/PNG/BMP?
If there are none, plan B would be text-to-speech. Anyone know of a good one that sounds reasonably natural?
Thanks in advance!
if there are such options this is the search which will lead you to them

you can replace ocr with text to speach if you wanna search for that
One of us is misunderstanding...
As I understand Optical Character Recognition, it takes an image (which contains text) and extracts the text. I'm trying to do the opposite - take a text file as INPUT and OUTPUT to an image. (See attachment.)
BTW- I Googled this heavily before posting. Tons of Text2Image links, but everything I found was made for a desktop PC - not Pocket PC. And including "pocket pc" in the search criteria didn't help... lots of pages with Wintel Text2Image software that mention "Pocket PC" somewhere on the page.
Have you thought of using a fullscreen doc viewer (picsel comes to mind...) and a screen-capture mapped to a hardware button? It isn't automated, but it would get the job done.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
With mortscript, you can automate pretty much anything, right? Problem is, that really wouldn't get the job done.
Let me explain the application a bit better...
I use Wisbar Advanced Desktop extensively and I have a pretty sophisticated UI set up. I have a special page for weather, but I'm really not happy with *any* of the weather today plug-ins (and I think I've tried pretty much all of them!) So what I want to do is pass 2 or 3 URLs to mortscript, have it read the file in, parse out the stuff I don't want, leaving me with text that gives me the precise details I do want. I then convert the text to an image file, saving it with the same name ands size every time (e.g. currentconditions.gif - which is already set as a positioned element on the WAD virtual page.) I do the same with extended forecast and surf report (I live at the beach in SoCal) and tell mortscript to go out and update this once per hour. Then, when I go to my weather page, I get exactly the info I want (including sunset time, water temp, UV index, etc.) and my info is no older than 59 minutes.
I'm starting to think that I should just do this server-side... maybe I can find a text-to-image script using php. Hmmmm...

MS release a technical preview of recite:
What Is Microsoft Recite?
Microsoft Recite is a search technology for your voice that runs on Windows Mobile* devices. With Microsoft Recite, you can use your voice to easily store, search and retrieve the things you want to remember, where and when you need them. Microsoft Recite is available as a free technology preview beginning February 16, 2009.
*Microsoft Recite can be used on devices running Windows Mobile version 6.0 or higher. Not sure what you’re running? A complete list of devices can be found at http://recite.microsoft.com
How Does It Work?
Microsoft Recite’s voice search makes it easy to retrieve your stored thoughts and notes by using voice pattern matching. It analyzes the patterns in your speech and finds matches between two recordings -- the notes you stored on your phone, and the search you do using your voice. With Recite you can store thousands of spoken notes, and then later retrieve the notes you want based on a match with your search term(s). This is different from speech recognition, which has to accurately convert spoken words to application-readable input.
Press “Remember” to record a thought.
Press “Search” to retrieve your thoughts. It’s that simple!
Consumer Use
We can think of countless handy ways that you might use Microsoft Recite… record your shopping list, friends’ birthdays, addresses, school happenings, gift ideas, get togethers, favorite wines… anything you might need or want to remember later. Recite even lets you remember and search in multiple languages.
Here’s an example. Imagine your co-worker, Paul Johnson, tells you about a book that he thinks you might like, Hot, Flat and Crowded, by Thomas Friedman. To start recording a mental note, launch the technology, press the 'Remember' button, then say what you would like to record; in this case, “Book recommendation from Paul Johnson: Hot, Flat and Crowded.” Next, press the “Finished' button to complete the recording and store the note. Later, when you’re ready to buy the book but are unsure of the title, click on the ‘Search’ button and say what you would like to recall. In this case, you might say “book recommendation,” then press ‘Finished’ to begin the search. Recite will then retrieve and play the book recommendation for you.
Or, you might recall that Paul told you something that you wanted to remember, but forgot what it was. In this case, click ‘Search’ and say “Paul Johnson.” Microsoft Recite will retrieve all mental notes that include the sounds “Paul Johnson.” In this case you would hear “Book recommendation from Paul Johnson: Hot, Flat and Crowded.”
No search button - solved, but not capturing voice
I have "remember" on the left softkey and "privacy" on the right one, which loads PIE at the privacy policy page for the project. I can't locate the search funtion. Anybody get this to work?
I have similar funtionality through Evernote, but not the ability to voice search, so it would be interesting to try.
edit: It was not capturing the recordings, so there was nothing to search. Once I got it to successfully capture, the search function was there. It is still shutting down without capturing.
It crash on many HTC .. so its cool but buggy
It doesn't seem to work for me on WM 6.1 (Touch). I can record lots of things but the search always comes up with the same result even if NONE of the words in it match.
No good so far.
New version out. Much improved
I had reported my issues on the feedback page on the beta site, and got an email response last night that a new version is available. I dl'd it and it is much better than the original. It now responds to the touch screen as well as the soft keys, and it captured the recording right 4 out of 4 tries. the search funtion worked pretty well, but not perfect. Saying "Anthony" didn't work, but "Anthony's" did. As in "Anthony's birthday is . . . "
What this program needs to rock is text to speech, and integration with outlook. the ability to speak calendar entries and to-dos into the phone would send MS to the top of a lot of peoples lists.
Yeah this is a cool program. Thanks for letting us know there was an update.
It´s working, but bull.. sh..t
you can´t organize the files you recorded . A delete function is missing .
MS is trying to tease us.
It worked well in my Prophet. But one thing worries me: where are the recorded files saved? It seems internal memory but where?
Could anyone post the Last cab of recite ?

I just found this program and for some reason I am unable to dl it from the microsoft website. Is the cab right above this one the most recent?
Hi all, so I have found out about this F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C (yes all caps to emphasize it's fantacticness) called "PSR.exe" found in Vista and Windows 7
PSR.exe stands for "Problem Screen Recorder" and it does more than just that.
To begin:
Start > PSR.exe > Enter ... the show begins
I'm a PC, so I love this feature.
Videos are great, but they seem to always be inconvenient to make and edit, and frequently the video seems to contain many long waiting parts.
with PSR you can start it up, go through activities, and then stop it, and it saves your file as a MHTML file abd really low file size.
There is also more great things about this....
It records your activities and types them up for you
It highlights the area of focus automatically
It can be played as a slideshow
It saves as a zip file
You can still edit the shots and add comments
Now not only is this great for someone to record problems and show you, but the reverseis true...you can record "How To's" much easier and quicker and post guides.
Combine it with the Free Sparus EveryWan Personal edition WinMo Controller/viewer, and you can show someone how to cook, install, etc.etc.etc...
Take a look at this quick example
wow, thats nifty.
Hey devs, still working on making it so that HTC Messaging will handle incoming SMSs from Google Voice. At first I was starting with trying to change HTCMessaging to connect via web instead of SMSC, but that has proven to be a big circular pain, so now I'm trying a different route. I'm tweaking some code that is very similar functionally to OneDialer that will accept the incoming SMS and also send out via packet data, but what I'm trying to do is have it insert the contents of that message directly into whereever HTCMessaging stores SMS(and also activate Notification even), but I can't find it. Any help getting pointed in the right direction would be greatly appreciated, It'd be nice to have free SMS from Google Voice show up in the gorgeous Messaging tab.
Bump...and small update: 1.) I have found and analyzed the dll that handles all the SMS commands with IDA Pro, but past that I'm basically looking at a massive amount of code I could definitely use help sorting through, and 2.) I know that SMS are stored in cemail.vol which obviously is edb format, and I don't know if I can find the code in right applications, like Microsoft My Phone, in order to write to that file.
So right now I'm at a crossroads, with two routes I think I could take:
- I could tweak HTC Messaging to pull from a file of my own making
- I could create a program that is able to write to cemail.vol, while this method would simplify everything after that part of the process, and create the most desirable results, it would be very difficult to unlock the file in the first place because it is locked by the very messaging client I want to read from it.
I would GREATLY appreciate the help of any devs out there who are smarter than me, because I'm sure a lot of people are going to want this app once it is finished.
