looking for talking app

nelly48237 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-06-2009, 10:25 PM

my brother is legally blind, but still have part of his eye sight. he has the touch pro 2, and he is able to use it by memorizing the keys on the keypad. while at the sprint store the other day, there was a guy in there that was partially blind like my brother. He had a touch pro 2, and he had a talking app on it that spoke for him. I forgot to ask him what the app was. Does anyone on here know what this app is? or what kind of talking app my brother could use on his phone? I could't find this in a search.... I would appreciate any help I can get on this issue. thanks

That might have actually been the voice control app thats built in to the phone. I had that enabled once & it would read out loud texts & whatnot, and I think you can set it to announce everything too.

look for Voice Command in the setting tabs on your phone. it has the ability to tell you who is calling ans also speaks incoming text messages.

Voice command in the stting - ? I cant find that. I have seen this work but it was on the mogal. You can do text and events and stuff like that, but I have not seen incoming calls on the tp2. More info please I would love this on my phone.

There's TellMe that was just pulled off another phone, where you can speak into the phone and it can convert it to a text, etc. I've tried it but it doesn't seem to like my voice too much. There's a thread on it here somewhere. See if this helps him out http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...ghlight=tellme

MS Voice Command is probably your best bet...

Here is a link to Microsoft that list the features:

cant get the *.rar app to run says " there is no application associated with the file.

Did you unrar the file first? Unzip the file and it should extract a cab that you can then load.

well I unzipped it to the phone, right? But even in the unzip msvc16~1 it says the same thing.

i del unzip and installed unrar. works better but says program setting can not be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions. WTF?
