IS THIS ANDROIDS KILLER APP?

July 10th 2011 00:03
If, like me, you crisscrosses your country like a sewing machine used to make intricately designed cloth patches, I think youll appreciate an app that enables you to: 1. send text messages by simply dictating them to your phone, 2. do other things like calling the best hotel in your next destination even if you dont know its number and, 3. show you how to get to that hotel all by just telling your phone to do them for you.

That would be really cool, right?

Well, heres stale news: An Android app is already doing that, though Google said it is still in experimental stage.


I dont know how the app is called officially, though an electronic giant which is into smart phones is calling it by a name that gives the impression that it was their creation and not of Google, it is represented by an icon with the Voice Search title and the picture below once you activated it.

The title it was given however is rather a misnomer since that app does a lot of other things than just search.

I tinkered with it for a while and here are the few things I was able to make it do all thru voice commands:

1. I was able to make it write text messages (SMS)
2. I was able to make it go to any web page I want
3. I was able to make it call people without dialing their numbers myself
4. I was able to make it search anything that is on the phone or in the net
5. I was able to make it take dictations which it types automatically into a pad

6. And the app works even with third party app Docs to Go.


This app, however, does not function if you are not connected to the net so you better be aware that your data meter is ticking the moment you try to engage its services.

But it is really cool, considering that in one of the long trips I took with a colleague several years ago, we were kidding each other about how nice it would be if the cellular phones we were using can not only read but write text messages for us while we were driving. Handsfree!

And now, my Android phone/tablet is already doing exactly that.
