Voice Dialing

[rahaas]

I assume that this has been asked and answered many times before, but the market keeps changing and new tools come and go. To put it plainly, the existing voice dialer in the ERIS stinks, and there doesn't seem to be any change with 2.1 over 1.5. Are there good dialers that can be purchased or freebees? I know about Vlink or something like that but the Beta is closed and the real version hasn't been released yet. What is everyone using?

I guess I will answer my own question. VLINK is now out for eris and I bought a copy right away. It's fantastic!!

Yup - sorry for my mistake. It is a great product.

Does anyone know if these voice recognition apps are able to work with a bluetooth headset? I really miss being able to make calls while driving with my bluetooth. Speaking and having text messages read to you would be great. I guess there would have to be a way to set the default action on pressing a button on the headset to launch an app such as Vlingo.
