    Not sure if it is the Treo or the Microsoft prgm doesn't work when needed
    Software is unpredictable and worthless with the Treo 700wx at least. Save your receipt you'll probably need to return the software if you can.

    TM Onthego with VoiceCommand
    This is a wonderful software which in a fun, yet efficient way, assists the person who is multi-tasking and on the go or the person just kicking back and relaxing. It makes navigating through a PDA not only delight, but also provides professionalism in business settings. I have a Dell Axim X50 using Windows Mobile 2003 2nd ed., which is without question my Electronic Executive Secretary and now whatever information I need the Axim provides it "upon my vocal request". From my Contacts to Microsoft Office files and folder, i.e. Word/Excel, from Windows Media to my Next Appointment, from my Battery level to my Notes, it is all quickly available at a touch of a button and a voice command. The voice command is easy to use and is developed in a practicle manner. My Six year daughter gets a kick out being able to call up games and music by just saying their names or titles. I am sure that those persons who have the hybrid phone and PDA will appreciate being able to use voice command to makes phone calls. While in transit I get necessary information in a simple, quick and efficent manner. what more can I say Voice Command has completed my PDA needs and I am VERY HAPPY. Voice Command is the way to go and I highly recommend it; the person of leisure or the Executive on the go. It would in my opinion, be hard to be dissappointed with this software as it is well worth the investment.

    I forgot how to dial!
    I've used this now for about 6 months and I don't know what I'd do without it. I have a pocket pc with a full screen display, to dial by hand I have to use the stylus or risk dialing wrong. With this product all I do is press a button and say "Dial 555-5555" and it will repeat the number to me to make sure it understood, and then it will dial. It also allows me to say "Call on " and it will go through all my contacts and find that person, and the associated number and dial for me.

    My friends have made fun of my for using this, and now whenever I am asking my phone to dial, they'll start yelling random numbers and words just to make my life difficult. But as long as you have good friends, then this product is for you.

    There have only been a few times where the background noise in an area has been too much for my phone to handle. I am actually surprised about how much background noise it can filter out. I am sure that some people with different voice tones might have difficulty, but 90% of people should be alright.

    Some of my international friends with accents have tried it as well, and it does a remarkable job at understanding them as well.

    Awesome Product...Every HTC 8125 owner should have this!
    This is a totally amazing piece of software. It works incredibly well with no voice training whatsoever. Everyone that has a PocketPC Windows Mobile 5.0 SmartPhone should have this software. I have a Cingalar 8125 and use it all the time. Voice dialing is very easy. Much better than the crap that comes bundled with the phone and OS. It even announces my appointments and reminders. A MUST HAVE.

    Great Product! Indispensable if you use a PocketPC Phone
    This product really is amazing, because it really does WORK! Sure, there are occasional bugs and glitches, but all in all it does a truly remarkable job of recognizing spoken commands and answering requests. If you have a PocketPC Phone, this product is a must have. Look out to see if you can get the newest version (1.6), though, as 1.5 doesn't support commands via bluetooth headsets.
