VoiceMinder - anyone gotten it to work with the 6700??
Has anyone gotten this to work on their 6700 (specifically with the Sprint servers)? It is such a great idea, and it all appears to be working but nothing ever gets to my inbox! It's in beta right now, and the trial is free (and it's a very small program) so check it out - and let me know if you get it to work! http://www.pocketinformant.com/produ...eminder&dir=wm. TIA - sheureka
After mucking about with it for over an hour I got it to work! It's just those pesky servers (I can't send over Sprint using my isp's smtp) and setting the authentication up correctly. Anyway it seems that this will actually be really useful - sheureka
Interesting idea for a program, but why would anyone use it? If I want to record a voice memo there is a 'record now' feature in these phones and a button mapped to it already. Seems kinda ridicilious that once you did that, you'd want to email it to yourself. Now if I wanted to email it to someone else I think I'd be willing to spend the 15 seconds required to do it without the assistance of this app.
Anyway guess it'd be neat for someone who kept "organized" this way, but seems kinda goofy to me.
I've already used it a couple of times - once for a phone number and once for an idea - both sent while I was driving. If I just record it on my phone then I have to use my phone to retrieve it. With this it's already on my computer at home, which is where I want access to it. - sheureka

So you don't ever sync yer phone with your computer at home? And still this makes no sense - especially the phone number. You wanted to keep a phone number on your computer at home, but not on your phone? That seems weird.
And the idea you wanted to keep...ok so you do this: You record it on yer phone and email it to your home computer. Now at yer home computer you open the email, download the audio file...then type whatever you recorded to an organizer like outlook or whatever. This seems like a huge waste of effort - just keep the voicefile on the darn phone, when you get home type it into the computer. Now if this software converted your words to text and kept you from typing, then yeah perhaps some tiny benifit.
Stuff like this errks me sometimes. I have a friend who spends like 3 hours a day 'keeping organized'. Its a freakn joke - at some point you have to acomplish the missions your trying to 'keep oranized' to begin with - in my friends case he actaully WASTES more time trying to be all teky and organized than if he just used a damn piece of paper and was disorganized - heck he'd probably get more done that way!
i haven't tried this but here's where I see the usefulness. I have quit using the voice memo feature because it never fails that I will forget I left one. Instead, I have been calling my office voice mail and leaving myself a message, which is clunky due to the login process keypresses. If this works the way I think, it will pretty much automate the qwhole thing, and all I have to do is record the voice memo, and it will be in my inbox when i get to my office or after I activesync.
I just got VoiceMinder and I have to say I absolutely love it. I heard about it from the Download Squad blog and decided to try it. I am a huge fan of free software, but if something is going to make my life easier and doesn't cost an arm and a leg, I'll pick it up.
The very first time I was falling asleep and needed to tell myself something in the morning and found a little voice message in my inbox, it was worth it. This was something I was sorely missing in my phone and was happy to have it. All I really wanted was a way to show a voice memo reminder on screen, instead of having it buried in a folder.
Surely some other PIM software would have done somthing similar, but I'm already using Spb Diary and Pocket Plus and don't feel like switching it up.
But as far as working on the 6700, it's great so far (of course, it'll fail IMMEDIATELY now that I've said this...).
I've been wanting something like this for a while. I wrote myself an nscriptm script (search for my posts) that wil alert me every hour if I have any new one-button recordings but this app should take it a step further.
I believe that's one feature missing here. What if I'd rather just be reminded later instead of having to Email the voice mail message somewhere? What I I want to be reminded before I am at my computer?
I think they should add a feature that will alert you that you have new voice memos whenever you turn on your phone. You can then choose to email it, ignore it for now, ignore it in the future, listen to it or delete it.
I don't know what my password is for this. I also have a sprintpcs.com email when I look at my device info, but how would I find out the password?
Go to your Sprint account on a computer and then go "Sprint PCS Mail" from the "My Online Tools" menu on the first page. You should be able to set up your email account from there. You can pick a password on the "Settings and Preferences" "Setup" menu. - sheureka

Perfect! I got it. Thank you very much.

I never do. I don't remember the last time I did, in fact.
Yay for Exchange servers. Any time I want to install something I just email myself the CAB.
