Bangalore: Apps are the trend of the day, be it entertainment, games, work related. But voice app have still not able to capture the limelight as any other apps has done. Developers still have a long way to go as far as voice app is concerned, although they are trying hard to make a leap.
The amount of apathetic attitude towards voice related apps is obvious for the fact that human is still happy to use their fingers to make things. However, despite all the setbacks, developers have initiated some awesomely featured voice apps.
Here are 5 voice app that we found interesting for our readers.
1. Vlingo
Vingo is a splendid voice app that is available for BlackBerry, Android as well as iOS devices. The Vlingo Virtual Assistant turns your words into action. Vlingo combines voice to text technology with its "intent engine" to help you quickly complete your desired action, allow you to access your emails, Twitter, Facebook, SMS and surf by using voice commands. Be its updating your facebook status or tweets, Vingo is capable of all that.
It also helps you to look for directions to a restaurant. Need to do a quick mobile search for information on bee allergies? Can't find the number for a plumber? Want to update your social status to tell everyone about your new puppy? Maybe you need to send a quick text to a colleague because you're running late for a meeting? Or perhaps you're looking for a safer alternative to texting while driving? Vlingo can do all of these things for you.
