vlingo-Voice App for your iPhone

image This little application has very good voice recognition and I can see that I could very easily get carried away using it for updating Facebook or Twitter if I am not careful. The first drawback that I have seen with it is that I have more than one Twitter account and you can only enter one account for  Facebook and one account for Twitter. The interface is simple and straight forward. You can say your voice commands for what you want to do from the home tab or you can click on the function you want to do and then tell the app what you want it to do.

imageWhat can you do?  You have four basic functions that vlingo can interact with. Search – pick the search engine that you want to use in your setup between Google and Yahoo. Press the Search Tab and hold down the press and speak button and say the term you want to search on. Release the button and it will begin the search. The same basic scenario works for Google Map Search, Phone Dialer and Social. Social is a multi step process because you need to tell vlingo which social site you want to update as well.

vlingo is available for the Blackberry, Nokia and for Windows Mobile (this is in beta and you have to sign up to become a beta tester) as well. Pretty Nifty. See a video demo of the product click here.
