Useless! Microsoft trying to make another buck!
This should be built into hardware not another piece of software to run on resource limited Pocket PC. Put it on a chip! Other cell phones have it why can't a pocket pc phone have the same. The audio quality is the same as what my first 386 based computer could generate in the early 1990's

Extremely useful
I have found this software to be very useful, particularly for those who are in the car all the time and/or who have large databases that take some time to sort through. I use the "show (contact name)" command all the time and it immediately pulls up the information screen for that contact, saving me having to sort through my contact list. I can then just click which number or email address I want to use dial/send to.

Also, the "Dial 801-897-XXX" is a great feature when driving or simply to keep me from having to use the little on-screen phone keys of my smart-phone.

To be desired: I wish it had a feature that let it read your emails to you...the technology is already there. Also, it makes me repeat myself often if I don't make extra effort to speak clearly when I'm giving a voice command. Overall, I'm very satisfied and much safer on the road because of this software.

One of Microsoft's Smallest and Best Applications
This is by far the handiest application when you are on the road. Voice recognition software which understands English in no matter which accent, from my Greek mom to my Australian daughter.

If you're over 50 and don't have your glasses on to call someone, no problem. Michelle (MS Voice Command 1.5) will call the number for you, only after she asks you which of the three numbers you have listed, you would like to call. This is really brilliant.

On the down side, I wish it could do more, like, read and write SMS and e-mail messages as well as Word docs for me.

MS POCKET VOICE COMMAND
Excellent product - what a time saver.
Functionality - very stable - works well.
Pity it's not Blue Tooth compatible

Impossible to live without
I tried the demo version and after 2 days of it I couldn't go back.

This gets most everything I say right the first time, and on the odd errors it seems to learn very quickly.

Totally painless.

The only thing I wish it did was work with my bluetooth headset. Something everyone is wishing for.

I tried Fonix voicecentral and it didn't recognize anything I said.
