Best voice app for the 3G?

[ctt1wbw]

Okay, so the new 3GS has the voice control function. What's the best one for the 3G that I can use?

I like the Google app.

I'll give that shot. Does it just do the google thing, or can it launch music and stuff like that?

It does not open music. I don't think a apps are aloud to so that but I know there are jailbreak apps that are voice control.

Okay, thanks. I'll try it out anyway.

For voice dialing, I reviewed an app that worked very well. Melodis Voice Dialer.

I dont think there is an app that can voice control everything yet like desired by you unfortunately. However some apps have specific voice commands. I used an app called Say Who that could voice dial and voice locate/map locate. It was useful. Google app is great though for just google seach and stuff

What about vlingo? Anyone try that yet? I downloaded it earlier today, but I've been so busy here with photographing a wedding and stuff....

the only complaint ive heard about vlingo is that they upload ALL of your contacts' info to their servers...im not even sure they warn you before they do it.

Pretty good app finds a contract or address in a second. iTunes Store

Did it work for you? The details say it's not compatible with 3.0 yet.

I use Vlingo everyday! It is the best one that I have found so far for what I do.(Driving and Talking on the phone) Of course I have not looked lately.

If I am not mistaken all the apps have to load your address book into their servers to get the voice recognition to work. I could be wrong though.

Voice dialer

For the 3G, I've tried Melodis Dialer and VoiceBox Dialer. They allow you to say contact names then have the app auto-dial them. The voice recognition accuracy is poor -- less than 50% accurate recognition. When the app is not sure which contact to dial, it presents candidates to you. So, you have to look at a list and select one, which kind of goes against why you were using a voice dialer in the first place. Also, about half the time the list of candidates is not even close to your target contact.

Say Who was a great voice dialer, but is now defunct.
