Being a mac user myself (at home anyway) I would presume the Notes and to-dos would sync with the application Mail... which has these items

I receive my work voicemails via e-mail as a wav file. Is there any WM6 mobile application that could convert these wav files to text?
That's really advanced stuff, there's not even a desktop app, which would run on a 2xcore 3GHz+ processor and have lots of GB of storage for the word samples & stuf, to do that reliably. So my (educated) guess is... no, especially if the wav doesn't contain english speech.
Have you tried callwave?
Hey all I might finally have something useful to add. I use a Macbook and there is a program called callwave that sends you a text message when you miss a call, and could also send you an email. It is still in it's beta stage but works pretty good. Hope this helped.
That's not what the OP is asking for. He's asking for voice recognition software that will transcribe his voicemail.
I've never seen software capable of doing that. There's plenty of voice dictation software available for desktops, hell it's built in to Vista; but nothing that's designed to read WAV files, they all want mics, and certainly nothing that could run on a limited mobile device.
oh well back to my hole i go.
So here I am with a 240x320 screen on my AT&T Tilt and a phone call comes in and up pops a tiny window with small text telling me who is calling. Is there any thing out there that can make this larger? I'm not getting any younger (eyesight getting worse fast) and larger text or a full screen photo from contacts would be nice.
I know there are others but Photo Contacts Pro keeps poping into my mind. If I remember I'll post back with the others.

Use S2U2. There is a config program to set caller ID photo to full screen
What is S2U2?
I just got my Tilt yesterday, and would like to improve some of the features....Thanks!
Tom
S2U2 (Slide to Unlock)works brilliantly on my Vario III, with full screen photo of incoming caller.
I have tried Photo Contacts Pro, but I felt it was overkill for just the big photo on incoming calls, I prefer to use PocketCM or Finger Friendly Friends as my contacts app.
Inesoft works great and acts as a phone book as well.
Does anyone know of a dialer which displays a larger contacts photo. The size of photo in the standard T-Mobile dialer is tiny. Also the pop up notification window on an incoming call doesn't show any photo. A large picture of the caller would be great for screening calls. I used to use a modded Eten dialer on my Wizard which did have a slightly larger picture but afaik it is WM5 and does not support video calling.
Bump
Are there any Kaiser compatible dialers which display a larger contacts photo?
I used to use this and it worked nicely:
http://www.pocketx.net/products/photocontactspro_ppc/index.html
It also had good profile management, blocking features etc.
I can't be bothered to install it now that the HTC Home has contact pictures on it though...
I have used "Slide 2 Unlock" on mine which is available on this forum. There is a registry setting on this that will allow you to have a full screen picture of the incoming call contact as a background with the incoming phone number providing you have a photo for the caller stored. It works very well and it's free!
I'm now using "Inesoft Address Book" and I'm quite happy about it.

Try it and I'm sure you'll like it

I installed this last night (v0.86) and it is working brilliantly. What with S2U2, PocketCM, PocketCM keyboard, HTC Album I feel like a little Apple fan boy. I didn't start out to clone the iPhone look&feel I just wanted a responsive, intuitive, user friendly interface for commonly used features.
I guess I didn't either but it's hard not to like some of these iphone type apps. It's a bit like having the best of both worlds, but what I will say is that I tried the iphone in the o2 shop and the screen is something else!
Does it identify contacts in your SIM? Photo COntacts pro didn't that's why I stopped using it. Also can you use alternate dialerpads cause the one they show is ugly. Also what shows when someone without a picture is calling? Thanks for your help and advice.
Does somebody know what registry settings belongs to make larger contact photo appear on incoming calls? I don't want to use a multi purpose program for it.
Thx
I got my Diamond last Thursday and have been using it with my secondary sim whilst I got used to the phone and became used to using it intuitively... I am happy to say I am now completely comfortable with it and it is *almost* perfect!
Changes:
*Bepe 0.97 FIXED
*Diamond Advance Config tool
*S2U2
*Comm Manager advance.
Thank you to all the great people working to made this device all it should be! Donations forthcoming very soon!
I have just a few questions with regard to my remaining issues:
*The contacts summary page which comes up after ending a call, any way to suppress that?
*Is there any way to bluetooth contacts, files (pictures/music etc) to and from another mobile phone? I tried transferring a jpg image, an MP3 ringtone and a contact via bluetooth from a Sony Ericsson W880i but all three failed!
*Is there any way to display contacts as FORENAME SURNAME as opposed to SURNAME, FORENAME?
Thank you in advance for any advice regarding the above
Anyone?????
Think I might be able to help you out there.
1. To get rid of that contacts thing at the end of a call, tap Phone on the Home screen, then tap Menu and then Options. Go to the Advanced tab right at the end and untick "Add new phone number to Contacts at end of call".
2. To receive files of any kind over bluetooth, you have to have Bluetooth turned on in the Comm Manager, but you also need to have the Beam option turned on. If you have the modified Comm manager then you should be able to see the Beam option in there.
3. All my contacts show up as "forename surname" already, I think it might be to do with how you have it set up in Outlook, because I remember Outlook had it "surname, forename" by default and that drove me mad until I changed it. Hunt around in Outlook to change the way they're displayed, then do a sync, and I'd say that should do it.
Dave
Thanks for taking the time to reply Dave!
The contact summary still seems to come up I did untick this box a few days ago and maybe its a bug but the screen still appears on finishing a call.
I turned on Beam and the bluetooth file transfer now works just fine, thank you!
I will sync up when I get home and have a play around with Outlook, thanks for the suggestion I think that will remedy this problem too.
Is there an advanced contact manager or SMS manager out there by chance? Sending and receiving a few SMS today and the whole transition from TF3d to the WM is a bit jarry, and browsing contacts isnt really possible without the stylus... so far these are the only small niggles in day to day use! The latest version of S2U2 really helps usability and allows you to lock the hardware buttons when you get an incoming call... no more calls answered by mistake with this app!
No bother.
I never manually browse the contacts list because it scrolls very strangely, its impossible to successfully pick a contact.
The best way to select a contact when sending a text, I've found, is to type the first letter or two of their name, eg "DA" and then everyone with a name starting with DA is listed, eg DAD, DAVE etc. Much better than scrolling a list. Its the same behaviour when making a call and you want to select a contact; just bring up the Phone app (the one with the keypad) and start typing their name on the number pad.
I agree though that the process of moving from TF3D to WM6 when sending a text is very clunky. I wonder would HTC consider developing their own TouchFlo messaging software that covers all aspects of sending SMS and email. Unfortunately the iPhone still has the advantage there; you still have to get out the stylus every now and then on the Diamond.
I have most of my most frequently used numbers under the People tab in TF3D... good suggestions as above though.
May give this a try if I cant get along with the SMS...

Ok, so the touch pro isn't on the list of phones that support text messages for the Ford Sync system. I want to change that. Here is the problem though. It looks like a small select (and mostly sony) phones are compatible with the text messaging feature of the Ford SYNC system. I don't have any of those phones. So for me to get it working, I need a packet dump of one of those phones connecting to sync for the first time and sending and receiving a text message. Now if I had that, I'm like 75% sure I could get the touch pro to fully work with the ford sync system. The 25% I'm not sure on is the amount of control WM gives programs to the bluetooth stack. But there is no sense of trying if I don't have any packets to go off of to start with.
So is there anyone out there that can help?
