Vocalia (iPhone app)

"(...) Vocalia is also easier to use than the other voice dialers. There is no “press to speak” button that one must hold down while talking. Instead, the great purple eye listens to your voice and the wave form animation shown on-screen confirms that it is hearing you. The animation is cool and useful.

My buying advice is that for those for whom voice dialing is indispensible, Vocalia represents the best of the available apps. With a few more finishing touches, this would be a five-star app. It is quite good. If you have any French contacts, its bilingualism is a necessity.

Update: Auto-dial has now been added as a feature in the latest Vocalia update. The feature works exactly as I would expect. It is an option, so once you have Vocalia perfectly trained for your contacts’ names, you can comfortably allow Vocalia to Autodial for you. A timed dial feature is also available, to allow you a moment to cancel the call if desired. I’ve updated the rating of Vocalia to five moose."

"(...) A l’usage l’application peut s’avérer assez pratique dans des cas de figure ou la saisie crispée sur le clavier virtuel s’avère impossible, à vélo ou en mouvement par exemple. (...)"

"(...) So if you’re trying to find the phone number for Jacques Chirac or Gerard Depardieu without paging through a lengthy list of contacts, you’re in luck. Then again, if you prefer to stick with l’anglais instead, well, c’est dommage, mais il marche aussi. (...)"

"(...) Para hacer nuestras pruebas, tuvimos que imitar un poco el acento inglés a la hora de pronunciar nombres en español, y funcionó perfectamente, lo que casi es una buena broma para mostrarle a los amigos cuando llamas a alguien. (...)"

Language: English

"(...) How well does Vocalia recognize names? I tested it by reading the first 100 names in Contacts. Without training Vocalia, it was able to correctly recognize 98 of the names -- that is, it put them on a screen with three of the closest sounding names. For 83 of the names, the correct name was at the top of the list. The two names that weren't recognized properly were Guilherme and Guiseppe.(...)"

Une application vocale iPhone... qui fonctionne! Date: September 30th 2008

Language: French

"(...) A l'usage, Vocalia s'avère vraiment efficace ET rapide, même avec un carnet d'adresses un peu bondé. De plus on apprécie l'accessibilité de la fonction, la loupe de recherche du carnet Apple étant assez capricieuse.
Côté ergonomie, on ne peut faire mieux : pas de bouton pour le déclencher, et une simple secousse pour relancer une recherche ! (...)"
