On this episode of The Daily Giz Wiz Leo talked about a bit of really neat software called Dial2do. It uses voice commands to do all kinds of useful functions like sending a text, an email, a TWEET or you can even leave yourself notes and reminders. You'll find a list of commands to use at their website. You can actually do several different things with just one phone call. There’s a barebones option that’s free, but even the full-blown account is only $39.95 a year. You start be setting up an account at www.Dial2Do.com. It’s pretty quick and easy. Then they’ll send the phone number to call to your cell phone. I put their number in my auto dial and started by calling it and sending a TWEET. My TWEET ended with: “this service is great”, but it was sent out as: “This service is late.” However at the end of my TWEET there was a link. When I clicked on the link I actually heard my voice calling in my TWEET! So even though the TWEET had an incorrect word, people could hear the actual TWEET if they wanted to. That’s all I’ve had time to so far, but I’m looking forward to getting and sending emails, and leaving myself reminders. Leo thinks there are some human beings involved, so that if the computer can’t figure out what you said, a human might intervene. There’s a free 30-day trial of the full-blown program. If you opt for the full version it’s $3.99 a month or $39.95 year, which drops the price down to about $3.33 a month.
