Android Two Cool Apps That Work On The Pocket eDGe

obsessed2 · 04-26-2011, 03:22 PM

Here are two cool Apps that worked on my Pocket eDge. Both can be downloaded free.

Voice Search by Google lets you speak any query and it will perform a search of recognized words using the Google desktop Search widget. Make sure the room is quiet and say something like TEST (pause) 123 to calibrate. Speak words and phrases with natural pauses between words. Works pretty well. I said a few different phrases (2012 Ford Mustang, Entourage Pocket Edge, Microsoft Office 2010) and each time it was dead on accurate with the translation and search. WAY COOL !!!

Talk to Me Cloud: Real-time speech to speech translator for Android. Speech recognition in 7 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese.

Speak a phrase in one of the 7 languages and it will speak it back in the language of choice (many languages supported). I was absolutely blown away as to how accurately the App recognized English. You can actually speak a sentence (where is the nearest train station etc.) and it will translate it back. Amazing. You MUST download and install Voice Search first and have Wi-Fi access for this program to work. VERY COOL !!!

Just tried them both. Way cool is right.

(But, the dishwasher is running so I had to wait for a little break in it for it to work properly. When I first tried, "I like ice cream" it simply replied "lol") :P

With voice search installed keyboards that use speech to text also work now.

Yea that's actually pretty cool. I noticed the microphone pop up a few times using the standard Android keyboard. Another very good voice program is Vlingo Virtual Assistant which can be downloaded free from the Amazon App Store. It can be used to dictate e-mails, text messages (I used it with Verizon's free text service https://text.vzw.com to text my wife or son since I don't own a cell phone), Twitter etc.
