Voice Recognition In Windows Phone 7

I am a long time proponent of voice recognition on mobile phones. Voice recognition has been an area where Microsoft has lead in mobile phones with their Voice Command program. With some Windows Mobile phones Voice Command was included, otherwise it could be purchased separately and installed on a phone. Voice Command provides a way for you to operate the phone with voice. For example, you can press a button, either on the phone or a bluetooth headset, and ask, “what is my next appointment?” and the program will read back to you the next appointment on the calendar.

You can also use Voice Command to dial a phone call or play a song, but what you cannot do with Voice Command is enter text like you can with Android.
