Hi Does anyone know of some software that will allow me to speak to the PDA and it type for me?

Do some search on www.google.com and typ in Voice to Text PPC.
I did it and immediatly it came up with some good results.

That one is text to speech, not speech to text
I didn't think PPC would be able to run this sort of software, so I went looking. Problem seems to be that most results are for voice control rather than actual speech to text.
IBM via voice mobile seems to exist, but it seems more like voice control again. I also found something called Universal Translator (http://www.universal-translator.net/ut23.html) which seems overkill.

Pocket Dictate (http://www.nch.com.au/pocket/index.html)
Got me excited. However, is designed to "dictate directly on your Pocket PC using the buttons on the unit... tap send and the dictation will be compressed, encrypted and sent to your typist by email automatically."
Sadly, I don't have and can't afford a typist :( I suppose it would be possible to push it through a piece of desktop software, but then I could use "notes" or "voice recorder" which came with my kaiser.
Dictaton 2005, SpeaktoText, etc...
Googled these - SpeaktoText (http://www.coolsoftllc.com/productdetail.asp?id=9) and Dictaton 2005 (http://www.research-lab.com/dict2002read.htm). Both are for desktops, not PPC :(

Maybe somebody can work with this; it's beyond my abilities.
