ASR currently works well with a small lexicon, however if you were to try to use an unabridged dictionary as your source, its probably going to fail miserably. Al, if you have some product that works with a large lexicon, can you share the name of that product? A side note to this windows mobile 6.1 does its ASR via the net, in essence it streams the audio to a system with more cpu power than the mobile has. This is aparently a standard feature of 6.1 so development of such apps should increase in the coming years. Windows mobile 5 was the first windows mobile to integrate a sip client as part of the normal dialer, although MS left it to carriers to provision, and information is slowly leaking out about the XML config format, most carriers have disabled this (to the point of a lot of ROM images not even having the DLLs required or registry settings to enable the sip client). This seems to be a progression along those lines, and my guess will only continue. Some vendors are also hiding functionality, where what you do online is incorporated into other apps so you have less of a clear line to know what is online and what is not, and more importantly, when you are going to be charged and when you arent if you dont have an unlimited use plan. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel Belfast +44 28 9099 6461 US +1 516 687 5200 http://www.trxtel.com the phone company that pays you! _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
