Hi Barbra.

As an additional piece of advice, try speaking slowly and clearly. I know the temptation to speak normally especially as that's what's encouraged is strong, but if you take care to annunciate your words and speak clearly, the better the chance of getting accurate results. Remember, its not Dragon Naturally speaking, it has to send the voice samples to a server to be recognized over a mobile connection, so your voice is compressed in to the bargain. Its a baby at the moment, but in my view has great potential and I'm already using it to send quick text messages and dial contacts, well worth the £12.99.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Yes, but I didn't realise it got accustomed to your vvoice. With that knowledge I give it another few points.

Well thanks Steve, I'll give it a go again. Do you like the programme? We've heard Barbra's take on it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Eleanor,

Don't just press it, hold it down, until you hear a tone. Once you hear it, release and talk.

All the best

Steve

What might I be doing wrong then Steve, I get to where it says to press the
button on the side of the phone.  there is a graphic of the phone on the
page.  I am pressing the volume up/down button, the one at the top and
nothing is happening.  the other button is of curse the camera one at the
bottom.

Thank you Barbra for an excellent review. I do not think your NI accent is
that strong *smile*.  What about my brogue?  Well I haven't given it a go
but thanks to you and others now I have at least got it on to my e71. I am a little perplexed about it on the N95 as it did say on the site that it was
supported but I cannot get past that bit where you are setting it up and
have to press the key on the side of the phone.  It just does not get
activated on my N95. If anyone has an N95 Standard I would be interested to
hear from you if you have managed to get Vlingo working on it.

After all the emails on this app I thought I might as well give it a try on
my E71. Very easy to install and set up. Also easy to use after reading
instructions which I actually did for once. Not sure how others who don't
speak in perfect BBC english have got on, but I found it doesn't work well
with my northern irish accent. Some very interesting and amusing
interpretations of words. I guess this is to be expected and allowed for
given the range of local accents across the uk. not sure if it recognises
your words better after use. If not, then it would be difficult to use it
without reading text through afterwards and correcting mistakes. Thus
probably taking more time than it would have to simply type the text in the
first place.

So overall a good little program which will save lots of time if it responds
well to your voice. Maybe I should take some eloqution lessons?
