Ever wish your voice was so powerful it would command immediate attention? No, Nuance Voice Control can't bring you that glass of water or clean the house, but it does let you make phone calls, set appointments, dictate short emails and view web pages with a simple voice command on most Palm smartphones.
After downloading and purchasing (as low as $6 a month) through Nuance's website (or test-drive it with a 20 day free trial on Sprint Centros), you are ready to roll with voice control. The customizable side button is automatically turned into your one-button control center. Before you start commanding away, take a look at the “what to say” below examples:
- Call, John Smith (if John Smith has multiple numbers, you'd specify home vs. mobile, for example)
- Email, Sara, Subject, Dinner, Body, How about tonight?
- Dial, 555-1212
- Add appointment, Dentist, Date, January 8, Time, 10 a.m.
- Go to website, Palm
Now if only I could program Nuance into other products (or people)...

is it just me, or does anyone else feel that it's silly to pay monthly for voice dialing, which exists in dumb phones like the razr?

What makes this software so amazing that someone should pay $6 a month or more indefinitely?

Thanks for the feedback. Nuance, Palm and Sprint offer a 20 day test drive on Sprint Centros, giving users the opportunity to test drive the software. It’s really quite cool and we think you’ll agree, but if not, you don’t have anything to lose.
