How does Voice Command work for you? Is it worth the money? Does the recognition work good? I'm thinking about whether to get it. :)

Yeah there are 1000's of programs for Pocket PC, some of them good and some of them aload off rubbish :laugh: Most of the stuff I use is quite useful, but it depends what you are using your PDA for. I am using mine for taking notes in my lectures at university as all my classes are in Power Point it useful for making notes on all the slides etc.

Most Pocket PCs come with a transcriber where you can just wright in your own handwriting and it will convert it to text, but I am not that good at it, thats where that full screen keyboard is useful. :cool:

Voice command is awesome...

You say "Play music", it will ask you "What do you want to play? Album, Artist, Genre, or Everything?". I say "Artist", It says "Which artist would you like to hear? Baby Bash, DMX, Snoop Dogg, Everclear, Stacey Orrico, Weird Al", I say "DMX" and it opens and adds all DMX that you have on your Pocket PC to the playlist and will play it.

Anywho, this is what I have on my Dell Axim x3i...

Magic Button - Makes it so the "x" button actually closes the application. Also can turn the text "start" into something of a taskbar. link |free|

Voice Commander 1.0 - the recognition is pretty good. And if all your music is formatted right, it is really nice in the car. Can't wait for 2.0

Pocket Informant 4.5 - meh...i'm not too impressed with this. It's like a dog to load. And by default it is too bloated and doesn't come with options to trim away the features i never access.

Voice Command seems a bit pointless ATM... Best use so far is being able to run an app by saying its name... like "Start Turn Off" for NiceStart's shutdown... :whistle: So it's not really worth the money.

    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.6

      By Copernic · Posted

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 changelog: Uses electron 42.5.0 #2452 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.6.
