One of Windows Phone 7′s best features is speech recognition. Here is a list of useful things you can speak into your Windows Phone 7 after holding down the Windows button for a couple of seconds.
Movie Listings – fast
Although you can just say “Movies,” this isn’t always the fastest way to find listings for your local theater. One quick way is to say “Fandango” followed by your ZIP code, for example:
"Fandango 95037"
Then touch on the link that says “Movie Theater Showtimes Near 95037.” This should bring up a page on Fandango’s web site with listings for the closest theaters. Sorry, this doesn’t work if you live in Beverly Hills, because 90210 pulls up too many Bing hits about the TV show.
Web sites
Many websites can be accessed by doing a voice search, then clicking on the site where appears in the Bing search results. This works for many popular websites. Examples:
"Facebook"
"BBC News"
"S F Gate dot com"
Note: If your phone thinks that you spoke the name of one of your contacts, try again saying “find” before the website name. For example, say “Find BBC News.” This will make sure the phone does a Bing search.
