Speereo Voice Reminder 3.11

REMINDER is controlled by speech commands.
It can automatically remind you of various types of events such as meetings, appointments, calls, e.t.c.

It will take you just several minutes to get used to the interface when you get friendly with the “Remind Me” command.
Advanced functions are also available at any time.

Unlimited reminder length allows dictating as much information as you need.
Enjoy your newly obtained free time by avoiding the mess with small keyboard or stylus – just talk!

Later you can listen up to your voice comment and easily recover all the details: when you hear the note with your unique intonation this will immediately take you back to the time it was recorded.
Every single thought you had then will come back to your mind to revive an entire picture.
No traditional reminder can beat this.

Speereo™ Voice Application for no-touch screen devices.
SVA can be installed either on PocketPC or on Smartphone without Touchscreen function. The
program uses standard Windows interface functions so the familiarization won’t be difficult. The only
difference between SVA for PocketPC and SVA for Smartphones is basic control elements. Everything else
remained the same as in PocketPC version.
SVA’s basic control elements are:
1) Soft-keys
Soft-keys are placed under the screen (SoftKey1 and SoftKey2) and they correspond to left and right menus in
the SVA’s main window. The left button opens “Create” menu (create contacts, tasks, etc.) and the right
button opens Settings menu. With the help of the right menu you can easily switch between windows and edit
personal information
All the other windows have 2 modes of key using.
-If the window has two buttons (for example Save and Cancel), then the left button corresponds to the left
screen button “X” (Cancel) and the right button manages other function (for example “Save” function as it is
showed on the screen)
If there are more that 2 screen buttons, then the left button is always “Cancel” button and the right button
opens screen menu where you can make all the required actions.
2) Standard control elements
Many SVA’ windows use standard control elements and their usage doesn’t differ from similar program
types. Smartphones don’t use stylus so the main control element would be cursor (dashed line on the
screenshots).
In order to activate the required control element you
should mark it with your cursor using “Up”-
“Down” buttons and then press “Ok” (“Enter”)
button.
In order to change their status, some control elements (for
example check-box “Set personal” on the screenshot), require to
mark them with your cursor
and change their status by pressing “left” or “right”
buttons.
More detailed information you can get in Windows
Documentation.
What’s new in SVA in regards to Smartphones
1) In “Voice Record” area short pressing of “Record” button is no longer used to close the window because
in Smartphone version “Record” function can be set on 0-9 buttons and short pressing is used to enter text
information. In order to close window you can use SoftKey1.
2) All the screen buttons, like in PocketPC SVA’ version, are now duplicated in the menu area so that they
could be used on the devices without Touchscreen function.
The list of available functions in different control modes:
- Calendar.
Switching between Contacts, Tasks or Mail.
Switching Agenda, Day, Week, Month, and Year modes.
Edit and delete appointment.
- Contacts.
Switching between Calendar, Tasks or Mail.
