The difference between a smartphone and a regular phone is primarily an operating system, the facilities it offers. A smartphone is guided by the same principles as a computer. You can install programs that interest you and you provide a high level of configuration. Another advantage is the easy synchronization of information, either a PC or an online service.

With proper application, a Nokia smart phone can be synchronized with a program like Outlook, or an online application such as Google contacts agenda. Let us now the first choice, synchronize phone data with Outlook, the Microsoft Office suite.

What you can synchronize and why

What is the logic, you can synchronize only information covered by two instruments – the phone and schedule. In addition to e-mail, your Nokia smartphone and Outlook’s share three elements: book contacts, calendar with your tasks and notes of sites. Therefore, these three types of data can be synchronized – manually or automatically – from a Nokia smartphone and Outlook.

The reasons why you resort to such synchronization are multiple. One would be that you need for meetings in your calendar or notes to appear on the laptop or PC. Another reason, as thoroughly, is that you need to be stored as contacts on both phone and computer. This means that you always provide a backup for unexpected situations (loss of contact, phone, etc. change.).

What you need to sync

You need three things, of which two are obvious as possible: a Nokia smartphone (Symbian S60 operating system) and a computer on which you installed Microsoft Outlook.

The third requirement is the application Ovi Suite or for older phones, Nokia PC Suite. It acts as an intermediary and is, in fact, that makes all the work. If you installed both programs you can go for it.

Add phone to Ovi Suite

This is the first step you do, usually right after you buy your phone and install Ovi Suite. Application of the Nokia is very simple process:

* Follow the path Tools – Add new device
* Choose the type of connection (cable or Bluetooth)
* Attribute name a phone after it is detected

IT giant is working to combine the two technologies to obtain a software able to recognize the voice of a person and transform it into a synthetic play in a foreign language. As a human interpreter, the program will analyze longer sequences of speech, listening to understand the meaning of sentences and phrases before attempted a translation.

“We believe that voice translation will be possible and it will be acceptable in a few years. To go well, it takes a combination of translation and voice recunasterea, both with high accuracy, exactly what we are now developing“, said head of Translation by Google, Franz Och.

If the automatic translation of text is acceptable efficiency, development of voice recognition software presents several difficulties.

“Everyone has the voice, accent and tone different. But recognition should work on mobile phones, because they are personal. Cell phone owner should know the voice of voice search previously completed,” added Och.
