i loaded the app, worked as advertised BUT i can swear it found my contact info when i spoke my name into it. it even brought up my friend dino’s contact info. i managed to bring up various contact names & make calls that 1st night after install. the next day i wanted to show off to co-workers & i coudn’t duplicate it. i goes right into the browser/internet, no longer the contact list.

this is great innovation in technology! You probably need to have clear voice to be easily recognized by the phone.

You’re right, Richard. Say Who is a voice dialer that requires no training or voice tags. Speak any name (entire name, first only, last only, even nicknames) or a phone number. Say Who will dial your selected contact for you. We’ve been available for almost a month on the App Store, and users think the speech reco works well. http://phobos.a...548215&mt=8

It does not seem to work when you do not have 3G service. I tried using it on EDGE and it would never come back with my search terms. I connected it to WiFi and it worked perfectly every time. Not sure if this is a bug or a limitation to the voice data sent.

All of the problems here are the standard voice recognition problems that have vexed voice recognition programs for years.

According to IBM researchers, who have been working on this problem for like 30 years, English is a terrible language for voice recognition. They said that if we all spoke Turkish, it would be a lot easier for the software. .

Cheers,

It’s not using the accelerometer to know when you’re holding it to your ear… it’s using the same method the phone uses to dim the screen when you’re holding it to your ear.
