Android Voice

It looks like there are a few differnt kinds of apps, some are the sounds that make voices (uk, us etc) and others take what you say and play responses with those voices. I think most apps use a google app to translate what you are saying. So its [google voice recognition]-[Command app]-[Speech app].

SVOX: is a bunch of voices

Ivona: Another voice

 

It seems google speech recognition requires an online connection so that makes a lot of apps useless for on the go. vlingo had its own system but needed to be online the only option I found was to compile some linux code which I never got into. http://swathiep.blogspot.com/2011/02/offline-speech-recognition-with.html

So basically, for me, all the command apps where as bad as siri, the technology of this stuff is still to buggy for me, I hate saying ‘call jan’ and it auto dials jen. It is really worth it to get some custom voices because some apps are really good like ezPDF that will read your pdf’s for you. The better the voice the less annoying. There also good for navigation apps, the alarm clocks where neat, the sms app’s ill have to look at later because something wasn’t working. The translation apps where worthless because they require internet, and who has internet when your in the hills of kawalanstan. The “speak the text” apps where only good for making ransom calls. Some command apps like Jeannie where fun to use just for conversation.
