has anyone found or heard of a cab for voice texting, i found this website but its for nokia phones http://www.softwaremarket.nokia.com/?action=productDetails&pID=3304&pmsid=254&lang=en
i think this app would be cool if ur driving, ifind it difficult to text when driving especially with the tilt. any cabs out there?
You want Palringo. It does just that. IM and Voice IM.
have u tried it on ur tilt?
From the makers of Dragon Naturally Speaking, http://www.nuance.com/voicecontrol/. Or try this Google search, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=mobile+voice+to+text.
There was an application supplied with iMate JasJar's sold in the UAE by a company that came from Dubai.
Sorry but can't remember that far back what it was called (age ya know!)
It provided Extended SMS with colour/font changing, drawing and voice clip capabilities. It would only work if both parties had the SW installed.
Biggest drawback (and why its no longer available I think) is that the multiple SMS's required to carry voice data were more expensive than dialling someone's voice mail!!! Funny really...
I've Googled but there doesn't appaers to be anything suitable around at the moment.
i tried google...but that app for nokia phone looks like it works well any one kno if i can work on the tilt? and y does palringo ask for my mobile #?
You might try jott.com.
Does this work with AT&T Tilt 8925?
Should do!
It looks to me like a standard subscription service where you ring them and a little old lady types it in on her keyboard and sends it out as a text for you! (or is it the other way around?)
Not found an actual voice app but seen a nifty little SMS app that tags on nicely to the Kaiser called XMS from Imaginet.
http://www.imaginet-software.com/index.aspx?p=xms
Gives you full smileys and coloured handwriting but the flaw is the recipient also has to have it installed. Good job its 'Buy one get on free then!'
Ignore the 'up to CE2005' as it works perfectly.
Nuance not available for purchase!

Palringo works great on my Tilt. I'm using it right now to talk to a guy with Voice IM. Have also done text (standard) IM.
www.palringo.com
how does it work, it said something about being online?

Palring is a free program? I can use it free ?
I have to pay something when i use it?
Palringo is an Instant Messaging package similar to MSN Messenger but also has voice.
No text to speech.
So you just register and it uses a data connection (phone or WiFi) the data call is the only cost so far.
but only to other Perlingo contacts? you can't use it to voice text anyone else?
It does not do 'voice texts' as such.
It's an IM client in its own right that can chat between its own members or any members on other networks such as MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ICQ etc.
You can leave voice messages to other palringo users.
If you are wanting a package that sends voice over the standard SMS network then I think you will be out of luck as it would cost more in text messages to send the sound data than it would ringing.
Other alternative would be for someone to generate a Speach recognition package that writes your SMS and sends it out!
Why not send an MMS?? You can put voice clips on that!
yes voice to standard sms text message is what we (I) want. you're driving along and receive a text message. you want to just speak a short reply and send it rather than fiddling with the phone illegally to compose a message using the keyboard

PLease i just realised that i was still getting charged for sending text messages, even though i have tha total intertnet plan from tmobile.
I was just wondering if anyone knows of a program that would let me send text messages bypassing the cellular network, and using my internet,(be it wifi or edge or gprs) to carry the messages.
Kinda like when you use your computer to send texts to phones, is there a program for windows mobile?
thank you in advance
I believe there are a few websites out there to send messages with, tmobile used to have a public SMS application, however I am unsure of any method of "relaying" an SMS message through the included pocket outlook sms handler to one of those sites transparently.
thank you. I still will be awaiting answers.

one approach might be to use an email server to bounce the messages to sms email addresses.
say you use the email side of the messaging app, either through synching to exchange or through a pop, imap or whatever, and point the email at the sms address, I forget what the tmobile address is, but for example it would be like [email protected]
I guess that semi solves the problem without any programming, you would just need each carrier's email address, and specify a return address that would go to your phone for when they SMS back.

CaptDistraction, you need to be creative about the 6315; I gave mine to my wife when I upgraded to to 8125. Got rid of the memory hogs and you can't imagine how our relationship has improved, we now talk about the same techy stuff; she complaing, I fixing by the way she no longer complains about how much time I spend with my phone, cause she's now doing the same. Now we have no time to talk to each other...... :twisted:

Haha, I tried every rom out there, I kept the device for a while and finally sold it to support the MDA purchase.
Man I messed with that 6315 to no end, had so much stuff going on with it trying different app combos, spent hours in the registry, no matter how simple I kept it, I couldn't ever get it to answer calls in a timely fashion.
My biggest love with the MDA is when you press that green answer button, it immediately picks up the call.
will this ever be possible to be done with software on out phones? Or is it something ATT does on their end just for the iphones? I saw a screen shot of it and thought it would be awesome to have it for the Tilt like that.

callwave.com is similar. almost all the features, plus a couple more and "Virtual Voicemail". I've been using it for 6 weeks now. Its pretty good.
i will check it out, is it a monthly fee or onetime software buy?
I use callwave as well. You can set it to send you a text message with a translation of the voice mail. Also I have it send me email which gets pushed to my phone; the email contains the text translation as well as the wav file of the message.
It's free for now. It is in "beta". I have little doubt that eventually google will gobble this one up like it did with GrandCentral and that'll be good.
callwave is free right now, and it is superior to visual voice mail in a couple key areas (translation of voice to text being the biggest) the ownly downside is that you don't have a cute visual display to delete/listen to vm, but you can access it through the web, I have my login page bookmarked on my phone.

That's a pretty damn big downside as far as I'm concerned. I want voicemail as voicemail, not email or sms. When they work out a PPC frontend, they'll have a lot more customers.
I wanted that too so, I did this:
1) I got a FREE GrandCentral.com account
2) I bought a copy of MagiCall (SMS Filter)
3) I set GrandCentral to forward all inbound calls to voicemail and then notify via SMS my cellphone when a new message arrives
4) I set my phone's voicemail number to be my GrandCentral number
5) I logged onto GrandCentral on my PIE and made a favorite to that site and then using file explorer copied the shortcut from my favorites folder to my programs folder in the windows directory
6) I created a MagiCall rule that checked SMS messages as they arrived, if they came from grandcentral, they were suppressed from notification, deleted from my phone, and then MagiCall is to launch my m.grandcentral.com favorite.
The net result is:
I receive a phone call, my phone forwards unanswered calls to GrandCentral, GrandCentral takes a message, GrandCentral sends an SMS message to my phone, my phone activates the rule, deletes the message and then opens the GrandCentral Mobile page.
Of course you need a data connection (just like iphone) but I have the option to get my messages either via my phone's page, email (forwarded to my companies email), or dial into my grandcentral phone number to retrieve my messages.
:-D my cost $25 bux for MagiCall .
It works well. If you can't figure out how to setup the Magicall script then don't ask me.
MC
i just saw this post and signed up. This is very nice. my only concern is how much it will cost when beta is done. but i love the way this works. no more annoying ass vmail sign at the top of my screen!
I also signed up for callwave, seems pretty nice. Just wish i could change the email format from HTML to text now, just annoying to scroll through the message lol.
I use simulscribe both on my Blackberry and Tilt
Voice mails show up as mp3 files on the device, which you can play..foward ..rewind to your pleasure
Been working great for the past few months
Wow I signed up for this an its awesome.
Seriously.. it sends a text to me with the voicemail transcribed. It even spelled my name right!
Now, can i get it to recognize who the text is comming from instead of 1010100003? If I could get that to read "Voicemail" that would be awesome.

I essentially tried exactly what you did but instead of GrandCentral, I tried it with Callwave (can't get a GrandCentral account ). It works great up until I get to my callwave homepage. The listen to voicemail button doesn't come up. It's a flash app so installed Flash but it still won't come up.
Anyone else know of any free services other than callwave and grandcentral? does anyone know how I can get a Grand Central account?

I'll send you an invite to Grandcentral if you PM me your email.
youmail.com - by far the best for vmail as email attachments.
www.youmail.com
i've been using them for awhile now... It's free... all you do is sign up for an account and change your "voicemail" number to their number... which means it's 100% reversible.
From the account settings on the website... I turn off text message notifier and have voicemails sent to my gmail account as an mp3 attachment. This with push email delivers voicemail immediately to my phone.
Why it's better than grandcentral (which I also have and use for other things... love that service)... I do not have to log in through pie to get my voicemails... they are mp3 or wav attachments in pocket outlook inbox... that .. and all my voicemails are stored in my gmail account...
Just my .02 cents... but this is easily the best solution for voicemail... no more vmail notifications on the phone either... (I HATE THAT LITTLE SYMBOL).
Mark
How big are the .mp3 files? Just looking at data usage, and how long they will take to download!
I've been trying out Callwave but seems to me their voice recognition software is lacking. Very frequently they mess up on the "gist" of the message.
Saint - PM sent, Thanks!
Caswell - thanks for the heads up. I set up an account Lovin' it so far.
when I try to loing to callwave, I cant get past the submit button.. PIE just does nothing when I clcik the submit button. Callwave says that it is a javascript issue. How to I install javascript for wm6?

Wow, all that and it still doesn't quite work like visual voice mail. Makes you appreciate how well Apple did with simplifying the whole delivery of this although it is probably why they require the data plan with the iPhone. I don't know it is worth $20 per month for this alone though. Sure, my wife occasionally uses Google Maps or Safari over Edge, but could easily live with the WiFi connction only.
At any rate, I'd say in 5 years time, all voice mail will have this visual component and be available form both your handheld, and the web.
Callwave
Seems that Callwave is now out of beta and charging a pretty penny for monthly or annual usage. Oh well.
Hi,
this is not strictly Kaiser specific I guess.
I recall sometime ago seeing a feature which looked useful. When somebody calls you and lets say you are busy, meeting or driving etc.
You get a prompt to refuse the call and at the same time send a pre-defined text message back to them straight away.
So they get put through to your voicemail and also recieve a text from you to say "Sorry I'm in a meeting, will get back to you ASAP" . Is this a WM 2005+ feature?
Also another one
Is it possible to only send your caller id to people that are in your contacts list when making calls? Anybody else does not see your number?
Thought I saw that one on my old XDA iis?
Thanks
Mike
the text msg one seems useful. what if they are calling from a landline and not mobile like with most businesses? will the sms bounce back to you and says unable to send or something? just curious.

Well I seem to recall it was up to you what you did with the call, ie based on the number ringing . In the uk at least its possible to spot a mobile number easily.
I seem to think a small menu came up with several choices.
i don't know if this app will help. I've never used it but ran across it a few weeks ago.

I bet something like this could be down with MortScript... I'll research it, i've been wanting to get into MortScript, this would be a perfect test.

There are several apps (commercial ones) that do this. PhotoContacts Pro does it. And I think a couple of other phone utils do also (SPB or VITO may make one, don't remember).

Call Firewall
I'm using call firewall, it's a great app imo....
Photo Contact Pro has a reject/auto SMS feature. As for caller ID, My Kaiser has the following function. Go to phone, Menu tab, Options, Services, highlite Caller ID & press get settings. It then allows me the option to:
1. Send ID to everyone
2. Send ID to contacts only
3. Do not send ID
Maybe this is AT&T specific, but thought I'd throw it out there.

Only thing with ''call firewall'' is that when you are on a call if a call comes in it disconnect both the call your on and the one coming in... my experience.
There is also Magicall that does this:

Hi Does anyone know of some software that will allow me to speak to the PDA and it type for me?
Do some search on www.google.com and typ in Voice to Text PPC.
I did it and immediatly it came up with some good results.
For example: http://www.digitalfuturesoft.com/texttospeechproductsforpocketpc.php
That one is text to speech, not speech to text
I didn't think PPC would be able to run this sort of software, so I went looking. Problem seems to be that most results are for voice control rather than actual speech to text.
IBM via voice mobile seems to exist, but it seems more like voice control again. I also found something called Universal Translator which seems overkill.

Got me excited. However, is designed to "dictate directly on your Pocket PC using the buttons on the unit... tap send and the dictation will be compressed, encrypted and sent to your typist by email automatically."
Sadly, I don't have and can't afford a typist I suppose it would be possible to push it through a piece of desktop software, but then I could use "notes" or "voice recorder" which came with my kaiser.

It works PDG. Needs some training but you can voice text, email notes etc.

***I am in no way affliated to RemoteSMS or the creator of this wonderful app.***
Surprised no one talked about this amazing app. So just to create awareness
RemoteSMS is a service app. You just got to be on a WIFI network and switch on the service. Direct your favorite browser to the address given by the app (eg. 182.168.1.100:8080) and you can compose and send texts right from your browser! It even allows you to search through your contact list. I tried it and it works great for me.
We will soon get the ability to read texts right from your browser too. Another amazing thing is I dont think iPhone has any similar applications Go to Market and search for "RemoteSMS". Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
2 Words, GOOGLE VOICE
google voice doesnt let you sms with your own number. u gotta sms with gv number. or did they change it? does this remoteSMS let you text with ya number though, like it sends to other people and shows up on caller id with your number? if so, this remote sms has some potential. text on computer when u are at home is much better than on the phone.

there is an app like this called DesktopSMS, it is open source on google code. doesnt use a browser, its a java desktop app + android app. also pulls contacts. DesktopSMS is a bit buggy though, if RemoteSMS is stable, i'll give it a try.
Actually iPhone does have an app just like this but it is just for jailbroken users. It's called TreasonSMS & its the one app (other than Swap Faces) that I actually missed after switching to my G1, now Android is perfect
Great app. Now if the dev would just put in a password option for the browser interface to make my phone secure on wifi with multiple users...
