Microsoft quietly pushed out a technical preview of its newest Windows Mobile application and if it works as advertised it could revolutionise note-taking and reminders on mobile devices.
Recite is a voice note system with a difference: you can search your notes for specific words and phrases using audio prompts.
This works in a similar way to voice dialling solutions that require training, it doesn't attempt to recognise or convert the spoken voice note, its just stored as an audio sample. Then when you record your search term it tries to match it against the audio profile of your notes to find likely hits.
Its such a good idea that you have to wonder why no-one has tried it before. If you want to give it a go yourself the download can be accessed from here: http://recite.microsoft.com/Pages/index.aspx
