Why dial when you can speak
2008
I found a neat free app for the iPhone. So instead of dialing a number, you speak the name of the person you want to call, and it calls. Works about 80% of the time.
It’s as simple as pressing on the screen while you speak the number into it. Takes about 5 seconds while it searches the contact list. Pops up the relevant name. If it isn’t sure, it’ll pop up a list of names. It either dials the name at the top of the list or if it’s unsure, then it waits for you to select.
Doesn’t work that well in noisy places like shopping malls with music blaring from the public speakers. A bit cumbersome but fun thing to do.
The software doesn’t require it to learn your voice which is the good thing cos most voice-activated stuff needs you to do this.
Only drawback: you’ve to be still when you do it. Haven’t tried it in a noisy place yet like a shopping centre with music blaring from the public speakers.
