Dial2Do offers to perform many common online tasks by calling their number and telling them what you’re looking to do. They’re beginning their free private Beta testing with 7 available commands that help to bridge the gap between our phones and PC’s. I use Voice Command pretty regularly on Windows Mobile to dial in the car and Callwave to text me my voicemail. I’ve been hoping that someone would make it easier to send email using my voice, but Dial2Do has gone even further.
A list of their available commands and my initial thoughts after the jump.
- “Reminder” We’ll ask you what you want to be reminded about, and then send you an email with the details, so you don’t err, err, what was it again ? Oh yeah, forget.
- “Email” We’ll ask you for the Contact you want to email and what you want to say to them. Then we’ll send them an email with what you said, an a link to the audio so they can hear.
- “Text” Just like email, except this time we send a text (sms) message instead.
- “Twitter” Posts an Update to your twitter feed.
- “Jaiku” Posts an update to your Jaiku feed.
- “Feed” We will read an RSS feed for you.
I’m working to get an invite to their beta so that I can provide you a more thorough review. It will be interesting to see how they integrate with email and whether it requires POP access. The other question will be how well their engine transcribes voice into text. Callwave manages to get you the gist of your message, but that is probably not enough to transcribe intelligible emails.
If you have had a chance to fiddle with Dial2Do, leave a comment and tell all of us what you do or don’t like!
