He surveys the machine quizzically, clears his throat, and in a loud voice says: "Computer...". Bones steps in quickly, picks up the "Mouse" and shoves it into Scotty's hand. Scotty looks at the mouse baffled, then puts it to his lips like a mike. "Hello? Computer...?" Nichols says: "Just use the keyboard..." Soctty replies: "The keyboard... How quaint."<br /><br />According to the crew of the Enterprise, voice input is the way of the future. I can easily see why, as it would allow you to do your work hands free. And on a Pocket PC it saves you from getting the max out of the tiny input area. That's why I think it is great that applications that use speech recognition become available on the Pocket PC.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/bregonje/speereovorgan15.gif" /><br /><br />Speereo has released Voice Organizer 1.5, that gives you the ability to input new appointments by voice, and get reminders as recorded by you. Next to that, it contains a phone book with a speech interface.
