Does anyone know an alternate way to install SVOX voice data?
en-US Grace

The svox.com servers appear to be down this week (month? year?) and svox.com now points to Nuance's website.
An email to their support goes unanswered.

"Burlington, Mass. – June 16, 2011 –– Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that it has acquired SVOX, a provider of voice solutions for in-car systems and consumer electronics. The combination of Nuance and SVOX’s innovations will advance the proliferation of voice in the automotive market, and accelerate the development of new voice capabilities that enable natural, conversational interactions between consumers and their connected cars, mobile phones, and other consumer devices."
A year ago... I'll update when I find out whose head to flick at Nuance about the dead servers.

the range of services we already offer like Media Messaging and the O2 Games Arcade and fully exploits the technology we have available today. We want to develop a range of communications and entertainment services that our customers really want and trials like this give us the opportunity to listen to our customers and get crucial feedback."
O2's Mobile Video trial aims to encourage experimentation with its range of services and will give trialists the unique opportunity to download or stream video content free of charge during the six week period. This trial will use some of the most advanced UK mobile phone technology through the latest mobile phones - the Nokia 7650, Nokia 3650 and the O2 xda.
During the six week Mobile Video trial period, O2 will showcase a range of services including the ability to create and send your own video clips. Using the built in camera of the Nokia 7650 and Nokia 3650, you can record up to 10 seconds of video and send it to another video capable phone or email address, using O2's existing Media Messaging service.
The trial will also offer the opportunity to browse, select and download video clips via a special trial WAP portal. The content providers will include Sky delivering regularly updated news, sport, weather and entertainment. Once selected, the clip will be 'streamed' or downloaded on to the customers mobile via the O2 mobile data network.
O2 is also leveraging its sponsorship of Arsenal football club and the England Rugby team. Arsenal fans will be able to get exclusive Arsene Wenger interviews and post match highlights whilst rugby followers will have access to footage of England rugby internationals.
Last month, O2 announced a trial the world's first 'music over mobile' service using existing mobile data (GPRS or 2.5G) technology. The O2 music service will enable customers to select, retrieve and store the latest chart hits via their GPRS-enabled mobile handset onto a specially designed 'digital music player' – and start listening in around 12 seconds. Starting in May 2003 in the UK and Germany, the music trials are expected to lead to the launch of a commercial service later this year. O2 is partnered by global brand MTV and the largest music providers in the world, including BMG, who will provide track listings for new chart releases as well as pre-releases
sounds intresting
Dear Friends,
A company that supplies motion-sensing technology for video games is bringing that technology to cell phones.
Earlier this week, GestureTek announced that NTT DoCoMo in Japan would be embedding the EyeMobile gesture recognition technology into two new FOMA 904i series handsets.
The new DoCoMo phones, which are being released in Japan this month, will initially use the motion-sensing technology for games. Later in the year, the phones will be able to use gesture-sensing for map browsing. Eventually, the technology will also be used for motion-controlled menu scrolling, picture browsing and mobile Internet surfing, company executives said.
Motion-sensing technology has recently come into vogue with the huge success of Nintendo's Wii game console, which enables people to hit tennis volleys like they're Venus Williams. The Wii uses tiny embedded devices called accelerometers that detect motion. Some handset makers, such as Nokia, Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics and even newcomer Apple, are using accelerometer technology to provide some kind of motion-sensing capability in a handful of handset models.
This approach requires handset manufactures to design these tiny devices into handsets, adding cost and power consumption to each device. GestureTek's technology takes a different approach. It's completely software-based and uses already embedded cameras in handsets to track movements.
"The software processes one image and compares it to the next to see how objects have moved in relation to each other to determine motion," said Francis MacDougall, founder and chief technology officer of GestureTek. "DoCoMo loved the technology because it didn't require them to redesign the handset. It was just a software upgrade."
The software supports three main types of motion, dubbed shake, rock and roll. Shake can be used for actions such as rolling dice and shuffling MP3 decks. Rock interprets right, left, up and down gestures to generate traditional cursor-style user input commands. Roll offers joystick control by responding to tilting motions used in navigating games, maps or Web pages.
But some experts say GestureTek's motion-sensing technology is less sensitive than using accelerometers and gyroscopes. Those devices track movements three-dimensionally, while GestureTek's EyeMobile software only tracks movements in two dimensions. Still, GestureTek's technology is less expensive and a lot faster to implement than adding components that increase the cost of the device and require new product designs.
"Accelerometers and gyroscopes will likely give more bang for the buck over the long term," said Marlene Bourne, president and principal analyst for Bourne Research. "But GestureTek's technology can get motion-sensing applications to market a lot faster."
GestureTek, based in Sunnyvale, Calif., is over 20 years old. The company got its start developing camera-based motion-sensing technology for museum installations. It then moved on to providing technology for digital signage, retail displays and devices such as the Microsoft Xbox 360 and the Sony PlayStation 2 EyeToy.
The deal with DoCoMo is the first time the company has licensed its technology to be embedded in mobile phones. The company has licensed its software to third-party BREW (Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless) developers to create games for Verizon Wireless subscribers. But in that case, the software is downloaded as part of the game and is not used for more advanced motion-sensing navigation applications.
The EyeMobile Engine is a software-only solution that uses the existing camera on mobile phones to enable innovative mobile device interfaces and applications through real-time motion control.
An intuitive alternative to conventional mobile phone interfaces, EyeMobile allows you to do anything you would normally do with the device, such as...
Answer calls
Make a menu selection
Scrolling, pan, and zooming
Control games with hand motion
Instead of using small and cumbersome device buttons, EyeMobile enables you to use real-life motion for game control:
Driving
Flying
Throwing
Shooting
Fly-casting
EyeMobile Engine API for Developers
A convenient environment for authoring EyeMobile-enabled applications for OTA and pre-embedded delivery to mobile devices, the EyeMobile Engine application programming interface (API) provides application developers with the means to integrate motion control with applications much the same way as with current analog controls such as keys and buttons.
The EyeMobile Engine SDK for OEMs
Provides mobile device manufacturers with an ideal development environment for embedding EyeMobile Engine features.
Shake, Rock & Roll
Shake, Rock, and Roll are the EyeMobile Engine's three levels of tracking. Shake provides the amount of “shake” as a single value that the programmer can use as an input for such actions as shuffling MP3 play lists, throwing dice, etc. Rock is a gesture recognition system built on top of the Roll engine; Roll provides joystick-style input control.
Shake
The EyeMobile Shake extension provides developers with a “force of motion” control interface. Applications can then be controlled by how vigorously the user shakes the mobile device. Whenever a frenetic user-action is appropriate, the EyeMobile Shake extension may be implemented.
Rock & Roll
The EyeMobile RocknRoll extension provides the ability to control an application either by rocking the mobile device (i.e. flicking forward and back or side to side) or rolling it (i.e. tilting it from side to side or up and down). The RocknRoll extension presents the opportunity to control applications based upon rock, roll, or a combination of the two. With Rock, you can use the flick of a wrist to answer a call or simulate a throw. Use Roll to turn the pages of a document or for steering and navigation. Combine Rock and Roll to simulate mouse or joystick control.

ANY IDEA ABOVE IS POSSIBLE WITH OUR ATOM DEVICE (ATLEAST IN NEAR FUTURE) ...................????????
Looks like nobody is interested in above topic. I got no response at all. Atleast genius people out here can give some idea whether we can dream of having such technology in our ATOM.
Thanks in advance.
<sorry for my english>
woo,it is exciting. but modding an atom with a motion sensor is nearly impossible. maybe a bluetooth wii controller driver is more realistic.
Thanks for your reply my dear friend. But i heard (may be in a TV channel) that this can be worked through camera and this is only a software.

This game works through camera:

I am interested in developing an app that would enable offline tagging of music clips which would be cached and then identified by Google Ears, once the device joined a WiFi network. This is ideal for users like me who prefer purchasing unlocked phones and do not have a data plan because they prefer using WiFi that they have frequent access to.
I like Shazam, but I don't like redundancies. Having both Shazam and Google Ears on a device would be redundant. Plus, getting Google Ears to have the same functionality as Shazam poses a fun challenge
I am studying Computer Science (Sophomore) and have quite a bit of experience with Java. I just need a leg-up. Where do I begin? Recording the clip and recognizing WiFi connections would not be difficult at all, however I am uncertain as to how I would integrate it into Google Ears. Is this even feasible? Google Ears seems to use real-time processing from what I could discern from using it for a few minutes. This is contrasted to Shazam, where a fixed-length clip is always recorded and then uploaded and analyzed.
I realize I would be able to answer my own questions through research, and even learn new and valuable things in the process. However, I am in the middle of a very hectic semester what with class projects and a demanding new job, so I would appreciate any advice/help that you guys might be able to share with me, that would spare me some time.
Once I write the app, if I upload it to the marketplace I will NOT charge any money for it. This is just a learning experience for me. FYI, I will be using a Google Nexus S and a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 for development.
Big fat bump

Well i couldnt find much of good apps. If u found anything new, do comment below as everyone can try it.
Thanks..
what i use
it really says a lot when the best apps on my Windows Phone (Lumia 920) are the following:
Nokia Drive
Nokia Music
Photobeamer
Smart Shoot
All are made by Nokia and available for free.
Besides those I use the following a lot:
gMaps
Metrotube
Package Tracker
Tunein Radio
Only non Nokia one I really love would have to be Weave. Sexiest news reader out there.
Otherwise I use TuneIn, Though I wish it had a few more features such as tagging songs.
Oh and TripView for Sydney public transport is as excellent as the IOS and Android versions.
Frequently used:
Metro Tube
Nokia Maps -> Drive
Weave
Weather Flow
Nokia Music
Fhotoroom / Creative Studio
Photobeamer is one of the slicker things I've seen in a while.
Photofunia
Rhapsody
Weave
AP
Nokia Drive
WPCentral
Podcatcher
WeatherFlow
IMDB
UK Bus Checker
Ocado On The Go
Nokia Maps
There have been quite a number that I've enjoyed using so far travelling around the south of England.
By far and away, it's nokia maps and drive, but I've used NavigationShortcuts to pin destinations to the home screen.
Nokia city lense, and TripAdvisor are great for discovering what's around
ConnectivityShortcuts is my goto for turning on and off GPS, WiFi, and LTE.
Nokia Transport does a great job in London for replacing TFL.gov.uk, as does the UK Bus Checker
The microsoft Translator app works well going from french to english
I've enjoyed using Nokia Music for just some background music, and Tune-inRadio has ample internet radio lists
Primetube is a great free youtube viewer
What did I miss?
Connectivity Tiles - This is the best cellular, airplane mode, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth tile shortcut app I could find.
Weather (the MS one)
Notes - This app lets you add text into a live tile so you don't have to click anything to see your note.
WPCentral
IMDB
Newegg
Amazon
Paypal
AccuWeather and Met Office for weather info
XE best currency app
Facebook if poor on windows phone, I am sure it will improve
GPS toolkit for switching gps on and off
Settings tile for switch phone data, wireless, bluetooth and airplane mode on\off
Skype
Tripit
Tube map works well
Tunin Radio
And as said above, all the Nokia apps are great. love the maps and the transport app, but city lens and local scout are fabulous.
