Since I now have EVERYTHING re-installed and configured with v20 (running fast and stabile!), I got a chance to play with the new application....vLingo.
It uses speach recognition to allow voice command and voice data entry into your N97.
I demonstrated it to an iPhone owner by creating and sending a text message to his iPhone....almost!
It created the message very quickly and it looked up his phone number in my contact list, but it picked his home number instead of his cell phone number.
THUS I DISCOVERED that there is a necessary Contact feature that you need to configure before you can get the full benefit of this program.
The feature is Contact DEFAULTs.
While in Contacts, OPEN a Contact (but don't select the edit tab), instead selection OPTIONS->DEFAULTS. This will allow you to select the default entry to use for Voice Calls, Messages, Email, Video Calls or Web Address.
Set the DEFAULT for Messages to their mobile/cell address and now when you use vLingo it will pick the proper number to send to!
Enjoy!
ps. This application works a LOT better than the voice dial feature built into the N97. BUT...requires an Internet connection to function!
