Voice Command Impressions
This is how it works... first you select and app to create a command for, then you record the command, that will set it up to launch an app by your voice. You have to assign a button that will invoke the listener and put it into action mode. After you record a command you can also record macros in the app, such as fetching email or creating a new datebook entry with your own predetermined message.

RE: Voice Command Impressions
Seems strange someone would be developing something today for PalmOS that still relied on having to record commands.

Using voice commands
1. Assign a Voice Command button. See “Reassigning buttons” on
page 171 for details.
2. Hold your device about 9" away, and then press and release the Voice Command button. A tone plays and a microphone icon
appears at the top of your screen.
3. In a clear voice say, the command. For example, to access Help, say “Help.”
4. After Voice Command finishes speaking a microphone icon
appears at the top of your screen; say your answer. For example, say “General” to access general Help topics.

They said I only argued for the sake of arguing, but after an hour I convinced them they were wrong...
RE: Voice Command Impressions
I am stunned that Palm hasn't tried to introduce some "voice comamnder" type of feature on a Palm with a mic & voice recorder. It seems like it'd be an easy extension of FrankenGarnet and give users at least something gimmicks to play around with. On the LifeDrive especially it might be useful to play around with. Imagine having a couple of commands available out of the box and then additional ones learnable. Listening to a song with headphone on while shouting "next track" into your hand is certain to elicit stares ;-)

RE: Voice Command Impressions
Surur got you started on invoking it. The coolest thing is, once you get it assigned to a button, press the button (don't press-hold) then just say "Help." It will then answer with a list of topics, you reply with the topic of choice, and on and on and on.
You can ping back and forth with it and it will audibly tell you 95% of what you would ever want to know about it.
Paraphrasing Agent Smith in the Matrix:
Yes, Palm, perhaps putting a microphone into your PDAs is a good idea after all!
Sure as hell glad they decided to put a mic into their Treos! Sounds extreme but there's no telling what Palm will do during these strange times, after all, they did leave out the microphone from the Tungsten W!

Where is the mic?

FWIW, I don't think using the Palm hotsync cable is the best method, but just read the whole thread.
It might not be the "mythical color HandEra", but I'm liking my TX anyway.
