Web whispers about Microsoft voice plan
C|Net | at | by Mike
Details have leaked onto the Web about a new Microsoft application that will add voice recognition to handheld computers that use the company's Pocket PC software. Microsoft began soliciting beta testers in September for Voice Command, a software add-on for Pocket PC handhelds and Smartphones. According to information sent to beta testers, the software would enable them to control all basic functions of a device by talking into its microphone.
Microsoft reportedly plans to announce the software at next month's Comdex trade show. But Handango, a Web site that specializes in software for handhelds, posted details of the application and a price late last week.
