By James Alan Miller
reQall is a memory aid for BlackBerry based on research into memory prostheses from MIT's Media Lab. The software enables you to create, edit and share voice andtext reminders from your smartphone.
The service converts voice messages into text, sorts the messages into To-Dos, Notes and Shopping List items, and delivers reminders to the user at the right moment. It can remind you via text message, instant message, e-mail, or as a calendar alert.
According to developer, also called reQall, the service is smart enough to recognize certain spoken or typed keywords such as "buy," "note" and "meet" to help it organize items into their proper place.It also recognizes dates and times, which is how it is able to create and send reminders at the appropriate time.
reQall for BlackBerry integrates with several BlackBerry functions, offering a one-click "reQall This" option that creates reQall Notes and To-Dos from inside the email, calendar, memo pad and task list functions on the smartphone. In beta, reQall is currently available for free. Go to www.reqall.com/blackberry on your BlackBerry to download the application. You can also get reQall for the iPhone through the iTunes App Store.
