In addition to its advanced imaging capabilities, the Memoir features Samsung’s unique TouchWiz user interface, a web browser, a music player, and assisted GPS navigation. The Samsung Memoir and the Samsung Behold, also exclusively available from T-Mobile USA, both offer voice command and control capabilities accompanied by the audio-visual feedback that is made possible with VSuite.

VSuite on the Memoir provides many application shortcuts via its “Go To” commands, including:

• “Go to Web” to open the mobile Web browser;
• “Go to Calendar” to input and reference appointments;
• “Go to Ringtones” to find and reset ringtones;
• “Go to Voicemail” to dial voicemail;
• “Go to Games” to discover the games folder;

The Samsung Memoir also features Nuance’s XT9 predictive text input software, which is optimized for mobile devices with advanced input methods such as touchscreens and QWERTY keypads. XT9 allows users to easily switch between input modes, which is particularly valuable for devices like the Memoir. Alternating between numbers, letters, symbols and languages is simple with XT9. XT9 also corrects common misspellings while typing, making it faster and easier to write text messages and emails as well as enter search queries in the Memoir’s full HTML web browser

“Using state of the art word recognition technology, Ditech is redefining what it means to be truly hands-free,” said Dr. Hossein Eslambolchi, former AT&T CTO and technical advisor for Ditech Networks. “With over 15 years of experience improving the voice experience for consumers, Ditech is now utilizing its knowledge to further extend the power of the human voice. This is the beginning of a new era where people can use mobile applications in just about every situation.”

toktok is also being designed to include a Facebook application, ‘Voice Poke’, which will show which members of a person’s online social network are on the phone, and allow ’whisper’ messages to be sent directly into phone calls. These audio messages could be a request to join the conversation, a funny comment, or an important reminder. Future evolutions of the application could include the ability to deliver messages in celebrity voices, short music or movie clips, and more.

Ditech will be presenting toktok today at the eComm event at the San Francisco Airport Marriott Hotel in Burlingame, CA. toktok will be available on an invite only basis later this spring.
