The latest rendition of Vocalia, 1.2, adds support for French among other features. So if you’re trying to find the phone number for Jacques Chirac or Gerard Depardieu without paging through a lengthy desire of contacts, you’re in luck. Then again, grant that you prefer to stick with l’anglais instead, well, c’est dommage, mais il marche aussi. Vocalia works pretty plainly: just converse the name of the contact you want to dial, and it’ll try to match it to your address book all without having to rely on even having a network connection. You can even define vocal shortcuts for contacts, in the way that that you can say “Mom” (or, if you prefer, maman) or “Le Steve” as far as concerns when you need to ring up Steve Jobs. And if it doesn’t give you the results you want, just give it a shake and you be possible to try again.
Vocalia 1.2, full with support for the speech of love, is available on the App Store now, where it’s priced at a special discount rate of $4 until November 24th (at what one. purpose, it jumps back to its usual cost of $8). It requires an iPhone with the iPhone 2.1 software update.
