My friend got this….It is a new service that lets you test voice-activated controls for just about every aspect of your phone.It works by converting your voice to text. This downloadable application doesn’t limit itself to just one tool on your phone, like saying someone’s name in your address book. You can use speaking technology for nearly all the functions on your phone, from text messaging to finding a song or a local restaurant, and directions on a Yahoo map. Vlingo can do this because it’s not limited to the dictionary or existing applications on your phone. This is great!

James, I’ve been thinking how curious it is that while a lot of the UMPC’s either can run speech software, or may have it built in (Vista), I can’t remember anyone other than Kevin doing a demo of using it. I must confess that I went out and bought Dragon 9.0 for my Q1-P and I have yet to use it for anything.

Thanks,

Charlie Thomas

I just watched the two minute video demo; very impressive. It’s amazing how quick the app is able to take your speech, send it to the transcription servers and then return the text.
