reQall is a voice-enabled memory aid that seamlessly integrates your iPhone, email, text messaging and IM into a powerful organizer, reminder system and productivity assistant.
Now with the iPhone 3.0 you can do even more:
• Capture your ideas, tasks and commitments before you forget. Add items by text, voice, email—or just bring your iPhone to your ear and start recording (3.0!). reQall converts what you say to text.
• Automatically organize your items. reQall understand dates (including recurring dates), times, and certain keywords.
• See a map of what you need to do where (3.0!).
• Receive reminders via email, IM, SMS or the iPhone’s Push Notification (3.0!).
• Call, email, or browse from items that include phone numbers, email addresses, and URLs (3.0!).
• Add items directly to Google Calendar or Outlook.
reQall is more than just a pretty way to create a to-do list. reQall’s patent-pending Memory Jogger actively helps your memory by identifying those items you need to remember “Here and Now.” It also boosts your memory with related items and items you probably have forgotten.

Really handy!
Downloaded this app thinking it was a simple to-do / shopping list / voice note. How wrong was I. The one thing that makes it stand out from the rest is its "Add by voice" feature. You can speak and record a message (up to 30) seconds and the program will upload it and do some voice recognition voodoo and send it back to your todo list in text form. It'll also pick up dates and times and tag your note with them.
REALLY handy when you need to keep a todo list but can't be bothered to actually write it down :P
Nice start
Interesting concept.
So, I hit add by voice. Did a simple test, spoke "Today at 2:30 am remind me to....." After translating it for a couple minutes the text was correct and it showed todays date and 2:30 AM for the due time that it picked up from my note. Simple as can be.
Saying things like "Note" in the begining of the voice message will put it in notes instead of to-do. Other things like shopping will put it in a shopping to do list. Don't think you can customize that. And horribly, the iPhone app doesn't offer delete or edit, even to change the due date, you have to log onto the website instead. Though, if you check the item as complete, and hit the refresh icon arrow on the top right, it will hide it from the iPhone right away. Also, I don't see a way to play back the audio from the iPhone, only text, while on the website you can replay the audio. I also don't see a search function like online either.
Ah, my test just finished. That 2:30 due time was cutting it close, giving it a 6 minute turnaround before due. I set the reminder for e-mail to 1 minute prior to due time. It just arrived now, saying it was due 2 minutes ago. It includes the text and a .wav audio file. Though, when it comes to more timely reminders, message by e-mail could come to late, depending on your push settings. To combat that, you also have SMS text reminders and IM as options. But I don't have a text plan and IM AOL App isn't running all the time.
Has potential, and nice for a free application. If you are looking for a more well rounded to-do app, something like Things and OmniFocus will work better for more control, organization, and complexity. While ReQall, it's to jog your memory when the time is right with the least amount of effort to type it in or set due times.

One star from me, only because I can't give 0 stars.
