purchasing Microsoft Voice Command from UK

[biglouis]

I'm looking for an US online store or shop that will sell me a copy of Microsoft Voice Command and ship it to me in the UK. The shop/store must do international sales.

Believe it or not MS allow UK users to download and use the 5-day trial and then have embargoed the sale of Voice Command outside the US.
C
an anyone suggest where I can go to buy one of these?

Cheers

Believe it or not MS allow UK users to download and use the 5-day trial and then have embargoed the sale of Voice Command outside the US.

It's not just limited to the UK. Anyone in the world can download the trial, but sales of the full product are only limited to the US and Canada. It's not a restriction imposed by the store, but rather Microsoft, since this is the US-English version of Voice Command, and it must conform to US standards (particularly with voice dialing). This topic was discussed in a previous thread about a month ago, and in that discussion, there was talk of a UK-English version of Voice Command being worked on, so if you sit tight, you may be able to get it eventually.

...yes, I'm aware it was discussed earlier. Perhaps I did not make my enquiry clear, I'm looking for a store in the US who will sell and deliver the retail pack here to a UK address.

Thanks

No, that was my point as well. :lol: You probably won't find a store that will legitimately do that because it's a sale restriction imposed by Microsoft when allowing Company X to sell the software.

What about alternatives to Voice Command? Are there any?

Actually, there is. I just posted (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=37528) on the new release of Fonix VoiceCentral 3 a few days ago, so if you're interested, you may want to check that out.
