Imagine the freedom of being able to catch up on those last 10 or 20 email messages you didn't get a chance to review by letting your Pocket PC read them aloud to you on your way home from work. Or, imagine the freedom of being able to listen to your sales presentation or conference notes while simultaneously enjoying other activities, such as hiking, biking, or jogging. Better yet, imagine using that same application to listen to your favorite MP3 (.mp3) files when it is time to relax. Simply put, imagine making more of your time.

Fonix VoiceCentralâ„¢ Lite is the latest in a series of revolutionary new voice-activated speech recognition applications from Fonix Corporation.
It recognizes simple, natural voice commands, such as “Calculator,†or “Pocket Word,†which allow you to start any program or application without having to tap through several menus with the stylus. It also allows you to start any other third-party or after-market application you have installed on your Pocket PC. For those application names that may be too long or difficult to pronounce, just tell Fonix VoiceCentral Lite what name you’d like to associate with any program name and Fonix VoiceCentral Lite remembers the nickname.
Best of all, there’s no voice training required. Simply tell your Pocket PC what application you’d like to start and Fonix VoiceCentral Lite does the rest. It’s that easy! http://www.fonix.com/products/voicecentrallite/
