Microsoft Recite for Windows Mobile previewed

[Slimy]

Microsoft has released a "Technology Preview" of its new Microsoft Recite application, which will officially be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona tomorrow (though the site went live early). Recite is an application for Windows Mobile that uses voice search technology to let users record notes for themselves and then later find those notes by speaking back to the application. Here's an example. You could first tell Microsoft Recite: "Emil's birthday is February 23" as well as "Emil wants a 16GB Zune for his birthday." When you later want to figure out what to get me for my birthday and when it is, you can simply say "Emil's birthday" into the search function. Saying "Zune" would also bring up the second message, as well as any other entries that also mention "Zune."

If you've got one of the following phones, you can go download the preview for free (via text, mobile browser, or your computer) and try it out: AT&T BlackJack II, AT&T Pantech Duo, HTC Diamond, Motorola Q9C, Moto Q9m, Palm Treo 800w, Palm Treo Pro, SMT 5800, T-Mobile Dash, T-Mobile Shadow, and T-Mobile Wing. If you don't have one of these phones, the video below gives a few examples of how the application works.

Or send Zane a 16MB email. That's more like Microsoft
