I don't use voice dialling on the phone either for the same reason as you Jacky. Sometimes by the time you've said the name over and over you could have posted the person a letter! However with a Bluetooth headset I find it far more reliable.

Hi BarbaraWhen I've tried it on my N91, the Nokia voice I think it is comes back with the person's name, and a colleague of mine told me the name of the person and their number comes up on the screen. I've just found it a bit hit or miss whether it dials though. Has anyone else used this feature? It isn't my native method for accessing contacts, but was thinking of a method that might be suitable to help Tony with his query.Jackie Cairns Braille Support Adviser Email: Jackie.Cairns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sight and Sound Technology Welton House North Wing Summerhouse Road Moulton Park Northampton NN3 6WD Telephone: 01604 798024 Fax: 01604 798090 Web: www.sightandsound.co.uk -----Original Message-----From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Barbara WilsonSent: 12 February 2009 16:36 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Replacement for The VoicemateIt works even better with some Bluettoth headsets and the good thing about that is you don't even have to record the name into the phone, so no need to speak exactly the same each time...Who does that?Barbara sGeta listed, network or find a business at an online directory of businesses owned and run by disabled people and associated support and advisoryorganisations: www.barkingbabs.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairns@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 4:33 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Replacement for The VoicemateHi Tony You can speak into your mobile though and say the name of the person you want to call. Agreed it can be hit or miss, but I've had it working just for fun.

Eleanor -original message- Subject: [access-uk] Re: Replacement for The Voicemate From: Dean Wilcox <wilcoxdean@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 11:02:2009 2:56 pm I don't think the RNIB do what your looking for actually. They do sell voice recorders if that helps but none of the organisers. One organiser that might interest you is called the TapMemo and Cobolt Systems sell it for £89.99. I've pasted the info below. This revolutionary hand held talking Organiser has just one easy to use multi-function button, with two additional volume buttons. Battery operated and using verbal commands the unit needs no special user training. It functions as a phone book, short memo taker, appointment calendar, and alarm clock. It will also speak the time and date. Phone Book - Will accept up to 60 entries, each one can store one phone number with a 7 second voice recording of additional data, for example, a name or short address. Numbers can be dialled automatically using the built in auto dialler. Appointment calendar - Up to 30 appointments, each with a reminder and chronological play back function. Memo taker - Up to 30 memos, each up to one minute long. These can be recalled using a name tag. Other features include a Unit locator/low battery warning/locking command/earphone/charging jack and belt clip. It is powered by an internal rechargeable Lithium battery. Fully charged in less than 4 hours it will give 10 working hours of power. Size 75mm - 2.9" (Dia) x 30mm - 1.2" (Thick).
