Previous  Top  Next

TeleType offers the unique ability to train your PDA to recognize your voice. You can choose just a few commands, or many, to be recognized.

To use the Voice Recognition function of the software, you will need to have a microphone connected to your PC, laptop, or PDA device. Laptops and PDAs usually come with a built-in microphone.

note
Only PC and PDA versions of the software currently support Voice Recognition.


Before you begin using voice commands, you will need to train the program to recognize the commands.
