Original design manufacturers (ODMs) and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can license VoiceDial for a per-unit royalty fee. End users may download the software for $15.95 at <a href="www.fonix.com">www.fonix.com</a>.<br /><br />...• Customers may now choose from multiple languages including English, German, French and Spanish. <br /><br />• Version 2.0’s support for both TTS and recorded prompts allows users to choose the most efficient and intelligible interface for their device. <br /><br />• This upgraded version supports screen rotation (either Landscape or Portrait display) for added convenience. <br /><br />• The VoiceDial 2.0 user interface is scalable for optimal device screen size. <br /><br />• Users can minimize the interface so that it does not obscure information on the screen. <br /><br />• Users can use their voice to access contacts on the device’s SIM card as well as in their Contacts list. <br /><br />• Support for TTS on Smartphone devices. (Previously, the Smartphone version only allowed for recorded prompts, now TTS increases the usability for Smartphone users.)"<br /><br />I've never been a big user of voice diallers, but this looks like a solid improvement to their product. Any Fonix VoiceDail users out there? Does 2.0 sound like it will address the shortcomings of 1.0?
