If you have a Windows Mobile Professional [read: PocketPC Phone Edition] or Classic [read: PocketPC] device and you want some verbal alerts/automation you may want to consider Microsoft's Voice Command. It's a pretty sweet application and adds geeky and coolness points [you can never have enough of those]. I've purchased the US English version.
--
nb: if you have a Windows Mobile Standard [read: Smartphone] device MS also has a version of Voice Command for you but I don't think these apply to you.
--
Currently I have an HTC TyTN II which comes with Cyberion Voice Command, it's a worthy application as well but let's face it, who has time to make voice tags? Microsoft Voice Command works OOTB [Out Of the Box] without training or tagging which I really like :)
--
Now let's discuss how to clean up your device of those Cyberion Voice Command stuff
--
What you need:
WM Device [WM5 and up]
Microsoft Voice Command [as of writing it's 1.60.4622.0]
File Explorer [I use Resco Explorer]
Registry Editor [I use Resco Explorer's registry add-in]

WARNING HACKING YOUR REGISTRY MAY BE DANGEROUS, I WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU MESS UP, BACKUP BEFORE DOING ANY HACKING.
--
Ok now that you're ready let's get to it!
--
On your device:
Go to \Windows\StartUp and delete sddaemon.lnk
--
Now let's go to the registry...
--
Go to the following locations:
delete all instances of this key: {2C0E9904-F32D-4f53-875F-479F5CA81E18}
--
--
change: Path = \Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCmd.exe [if you do not have the Path key just add it]
--
Cycle the power to make the registry changes stick
--
Install Microsoft Voice Command
--
Tap Start > Settings > Voice Command to customize your settings
--
You may need to remove and pair your Bluetooth headset again
--
I hope this helps
