The iPhone doesn’t have a lot of voice control commands, but like most computer programs it’s very picky about you getting the wording just right. I’ve compiled all the English voice control commands into a printable document that will fold neatly in half and fit in your iPhone pouch so it’s handy while you’re still learning the commands.
I have a complete list of all the iPhone Voice Commands and their functions. This list is briefer and doesn’t have explanations for those commands where the function is obvious – it just lists the command name to jog your memory.
I’m making a PDF available for easy printing, and a version in Pages ‘08 format for those who might want to edit it for themselves. I’ve also created versions in both A4 and US Letter page sizes, which should cover everybody’s standard page sizes.
- iPhone Voice Commands Cheat Sheet, US Letter size, PDF
- iPhone Voice Commands Cheat Sheet, A4 size, PDF
- iPhone Voice Commands Cheat Sheet, US Letter size, Pages ‘08 Format
- iPhone Voice Commands Cheat Sheet, A4 size, Pages ‘08 Format
Oh, and because it has to be small to fold in half and fit in your iPhone case I put two on the same page. You can give the other one to a friend!
You can find more free downloadable cheat sheets and more on the Free Downloads page – go take a look.

The Boy Genius Report got its hands on the upcoming Android Verizon phone, "Droid," and toured its early-release 2.0 firmware. The blog finds a few keen features to be released, including a unified inbox and voice-controlled car accessibility.
This is one of those little annoyances that doesn’t really affect functionality at all, but if you are worried about making your system look just right, you might want to get rid of the unseemly arrows that show up on any shortcut. There’s loads of different methods to get rid of these icons—back in XP you could just use Tweak UI, but starting with Windows Vista you needed another application: the 
This is my personal pet peeve with Windows—you are right in the middle of a few dozen things, with a ton of applications open on your screen, and you come back to your computer only to find that your PC has restarted because of Windows Update decided that rebooting that instant was more important than all that work you had on your screen. If you are sitting in front of your PC, you can always 
This tweak has worked on every version of Windows for a very long time, and even with the new taskbar in Windows 7, it still works perfectly. Just right-click on the taskbar, choose Toolbars –> New Toolbar, and pick the folder you’d like to add. You can make them icon-only, remove the label, or make them use large icons. You can even use this trick to 
If you were rocking an administrator account on Windows XP, you pretty much had access to do anything you wanted, but since Vista, Windows made it extremely difficult to change files and folders in any of the system directories. To easily solve this problem, there’s a simple little registry hack that will add a "Take Ownership" item to the context menu, after which you can rename, delete, or do whatever you’d like.
Sure, there are loads of ways to copy or move files around in Windows, but there’s one simple little registry hack that will add a "Copy To folder" and "Move To folder" option to the context menu. Once you’ve added them to the menu, you can pop up a dialog box that lets you easily choose a folder to move or copy the items to—it’s one of those great little hacks that’s been around forever, and still works in Windows 7.
The Caps Lock key is by far my least favorite key on the keyboard—at least the scroll lock key doesn’t interfere with my typing when I hit it by accident. Thankfully it’s easy enough to get rid of with a simple registry hack, or you can 
So you’re rushing to finish up that TPS report so you can duck out early and avoid Lumberg asking you to work on the weekend, only to realize that Windows hijacked your Sleep/Shutdown button and is now slowly installing updates for the next twenty minutes or so. Thankfully there’s another simple registry hack that will prevent Windows from changing out your regular shutdown button with the install updates variety.
Remote Desktop doesn’t come with all the flavors of Windows—you can only use it if you are running the Ultimate, Pro, or Business editions. If you are using one of those versions and want an excellent way to control the PC in the other room, Remote Desktop is where it’s at—in Windows 7 or Vista it will even enable Aero through the Remote Desktop session. To enable for yourself, simply head into System properties, choose Remote Settings, and then change the radio button to enable it.
Have you ever been playing a game, or doing something else that required pressing the Shift or Ctrl keys a bunch of times, and then had the "Do you want to turn on Sticky Keys?" question pop up on your screen? It might be a great feature for some people, but it’s not useful for the rest of us—and it’s really annoying. Thankfully you can disable the keyboard shortcuts entirely by heading into the Control Panel’s Ease of Access center and looking under the keyboard section.
Ever noticed that every time you double-click on anything in Windows Explorer, it makes an annoying clicking sound? If you do a lot of file management, this sound can quickly drive you batty. Thankfully there’s a really simple way to disable it—just head into the Sounds panel and find the item called "Start Navigation" in the list. Once you’ve disabled that sound, you should be finally free of the irritation. 
UAC has noble intentions, but for power users who know what they’re doing, they can be extremely annoying. Windows 7 makes it so much easier to get rid of those annoying prompts than Vista—you can simply head into Control Panel, find the UAC settings panel, and then drag the slider to fit the level of annoyance you feel like dealing with. If you’d rather keep UAC enabled but want to prevent the prompts for a particular application, you can always
