What voice controller apps are there?

Q: What voice controller apps are there?

A: As far as "generic" (not, for example, voice operation-capable IR remote controller apps) controller apps are concerned, there're three:

Microsoft Voice Command (current version: 1.5)

VITO Voice2Go (current version: 1.1)

Fonix VoiceCentral (current version: 3.0)

Of the three, it's the Microsoft Voice Command that I really recommend. It was even able to identify my spoken Finnish contact names (pronounced in a Finnish way), which is pretty good for a program that is meant for English speakers.

For more info/a more in-depth comparison, you may want to read the all-in-one roundup here (alternatives: iPAQ HQ, AximSite, PPC Magazine, FirstLoox, BrightHand).

Note that I have disqualified the old IBM ViaVoice (last version: 1.1.7), because it is not developed further and can only run on some old iPAQ's. The one downloadable from the above link is, for example, an iPAQ 39xx-only app. Much as I've managed to install it on non-3900 devices too (with some manual hacking), it wasn't able to use their hardware; at start, it reported Speech Init Failed, rc = -13. Others (former users) reported that it was quite bad.
