If you ask me... microsoft should have included a Speech-to-text / Speech Command engine with Every Mobile OS they have had. In 95 I had a 100MHz Pentium that ran speech recog software.. granted it wasn't fast(which made it unusable)... but it was accurate.

"Pretty sweet" this thing is amazing. For anyone that is already using voice command and IDtransfer if you say start live search, then start audio, then hit the left soft key titled speak you can search from your bt headset. Once opened to start a new search all you have to do is hit the left soft key again. Works really well. All I have to do is say chinese food and it lists all the chinese rest. close to my searched location. Still playing with it but now I really wish I had bt gps or internal gps enabled device.

Hi everyone. When I attempt to use live search with my keyboard, everything is coming out with numbers like if I was holding the function key. Is there anyone that know how to fix this?

Okay damn.

I've never used WLS before... but I installed dcd's custom 1.5.0 and decided to give it a go. Downloaded it and installed it.

Damn.

The voice recognition feature is spot on. I ordered Chinese food from a new restaurant and it took me less than half the time it would have if I had searched google from my PC and manually typed the number in.

I tried a number of different searches with the voice recognition and the only one it had a problem with was my fault - I said Sprint PCS instead of Sprint.

I updated to the latest Live Search yesterday (the one with movies and gas) and they now have an option for voice commands does anyone know what they are? Tried to say some but every time I said something it would say it can't recognize my command.

You might start with this thread here:

Additionally, the voice feature is for input of addressess, businesses, cities, etc.

You say something like "Seattle, Washington" and it'll take you to the Seattle map. From there you can say something like "Starbucks" and it'll list the Starbucks.

Hope that helps.
