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. :)

On my Dell Axim X3i I have:

Eidos Tomb Raider | Not Free | here | Good old Tomb Raider 1

Microsoft Cubicle Chaos | Free | here | A break out style game

Microsoft Remote Display Control | Free | here | For remotely control my PDA from my computer

Adobe Acrobat Reader | Free | here | For reading PDF's on my PDA

Dell Axim X3 drivers patch | Free | For Dell Axims only | Updates some ROM stuff

InsertCredit Battery Bar | Free | here | Adds battery power, RAM usage and memory space left on the Today screen

Spb Full Screen Keyboard | Not Free | here | A full screen key board for input

Resco Explorer 2003 | Not Free | here | A better file explorer with Network, zip and Registry access

Microsoft PPC 2003 - MSN Update | Free | here | To make MSN Messenger work on the new protocol

Pocket Slides | Not Free | here | For viewing and editing Microsoft Power Point slides

Intinus Icbar | Free | here | Makes the start bar look like XP and more configurable like the X button actually closes the program rather than minimising it

Other stuff on on the remove programs menu:

Display Off | Free | here | Turns the screen off to save power, but keeps running programs running, eg while using it as an MP3 player

VNC Viewer | Free | here | For remotely control all my other computers

Pocket Genesis | Free | here | For playing all my old Mega Drive games like Sonic 1 and 2 etc

And thats about it :laugh:. Took me about 30 mins to come up with that list :wacko:

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.

this is what i got on my HP iPaq Pocket PC h1930:

Jamdat Worms [not free] US$ 24.95

ChessBase Pocket Fritz 2 [not free] US$ 49.95

i think its a little bloated too but doesnt load slow on my axim. perhaps you should try the agenda fusion trial see how that is

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.

    • The helicopter is still in the top left corner, thats all that matters.
    • Kind of glad I upgraded to S26 Ultra 1TB this year, with trade-in and discounts it cost me €1199, that's only €119 more than the S23 Ultra (256 GB) cost me. Last time I bought it via my phone provider outright with committing to two years, now via Samsung.com I reckon the S27 series will be more expensive too.
