Blackstone for reading scientific papers

Hi,
I using my htc touch hd for reading scientific papers which almost al of them are in pdf format. The high resolution screen of the HD makes it quite clear and comfortable to read. However Adobe Reader LE is lacking the highlight and mark text options which is really unhandy for me.
Does anyone knows another pdf reader which does containt these options? If so, would it be able to actually safe those highlighted texts as addition layer and transfer it to pc. The meaning is to be able to read and mark publication when travelling and to be able to read them on pc with the saved highlighted text.
Thanx

Hi. I use Repligo by Cerience.com - converts PDF to their own format and lets you highlight, comment & set bookmarks. Take a look! I've had this program for years but I can't find it now on their site for WinMo. If no sucess try Foxit Reader instead - a good pdf reader.

Thanks for your reply. I try it immediately

[Q] regarding voice app

Hi, i have been a windows mobile user for the last 6 years...There's an app for windows mobile called Voice2go. You can customize any voice for apps or contacts. You can let the app runs in the back ground too so when you need to dial a contact you just say the magic word. For instance I modify the command to activate it by saying a modified word like "dude" and just say the name in the contact which you have tagged your voice to it. "dude" "tea bag"... Then the app execute it by calling "tea bag"
Too bad android don't have this kind of app. It's very useful for me since English is not my language (android voice recognition is not very friendly to me)
Reacently i've notice that there's an app for android which used the same method but I haven't used it (it's not a free app) called CYBERON VOICE SPEED DIALER. Does any one have the info where I can get such app which is free? I don't like credit card... That's the reason I won't buy CYBERON VOICE SPEED DIALER... Any suggestions?

[Q] Audio decode, recognize a keyword

Hello,
Constantly-on speech recognition listening for just one keyword.
I am trying to do is making my app constantly listen for one keyword that will fire an intent whenever the keyword is recognized.
I know that this will use a lot of battery. and I don't want to use google's speech recognition.
For example - you are talking with a person. Normal conversation. The phone is actively listening and recognizing every single said word and listening for the keyword.
Let's say the keyword is "cheese" in this instance.
Whenever you say "cheese," the application fires an intent that starts up another part of the app.
I tried to record myself saying "cheese" into wav file
And then comparing it to every word that was spoken..
my problem is finding the right tool that can help me perform this signal comparison in the simplest way so it can work on any device..
tried musicg library with fingerprint function but it does not work so well..
tried some other fft/cross-corelation/ect.. functions but I didn't get the result I expected..
any help (examples or some library would be best) that you can give me will be very appreciated ..
Thanks.

It looks like Java has its own speech recognition API (basic info about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Speech_API).
I also found the official FAQ with instructions on how to download and use it etc. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/jsapifaq-135248.html
Hopefully, it's pretty high quality and works well. Good luck!

Just FYI, speech recognition is some complex stuff. I believe that Google uses some really advanced techniques such as deep neural networks for their speech recognition.

Yes - kind of.
The stock book reader app uses a dictionary app called Abbyy Lingvo which translates from all languages to Russian.
So while reading a book on the back screen you can tap on a word it popups a message and you can choose copy or translate. Translate lookup the word in abbyy lingvo and displays it in Russian.

fantastic, so if I become mother tongue Russian before will arrive I will be happy Jokes apart, can I use the touch features to look up dictionaries with 3th part app(mantano, moor+reader etc)?

update, I found Mantano ereader that fits all I need( note, highlights db+ dictionaries i need), does someone has it on yotaphone 2, does the touch eink feature works well and the app animations are smooth enough?
thank you
