VoiceDialIt - Voice Dialing for your Treo or Centro

VoiceIT Technologies, LLC. has updated its VoiceDialIt - Voice Dialing for your Treo or Centro to version 3.0!

What is VoiceDialIt™ 3.0?

VoiceDialIt™ was made for the masses. It was designed to do one thing only, Voice Dial a contact fast WITHOUT having to LOOK or INTERACT with the touch screen of the phone!

We accomplished this by having a simple User Interface and use of voice prompts.

It's as easy as 1-2-3:
1) Tap on VoiceDialIt™ icon or Press Trigger button
2) Place phone to your ear
3) Say the Contact Name after the beep

VoiceDialIt™ IS the FASTEST loading and FASTEST voice dialing application for the Palm period. This simple-to-use voice dialer application allows you to dial your contacts with ease by simply saying their name. Within minutes you can train multiple contacts and enable quick, easy, and accurate dialing with just your voice!

I remember the days when voice recognition software first came out, or I first learned about it, anyway. Man! Was it ever FRUSTRATING trying to 'train' the software to recognize the words I was saying!!! Well, this type of software has evolved, thank goodness! The most important thing to remember when training this type of software is to be CONSISTENT. It doesn't matter what you say or who you say it, really.. just repeat what you've trained the application to recognize as a command as consistently as possible. That being said, voice dialing is great!! If you have quality software and, just as importantly, quality hardware (phone)!

Get it here for $14.95 and simplify making your phone calls!
