\"\"As many of you know, Vlingo for Android was released this week for Android smart-phones running Android 2.0 and above.\u00a0 For years,\u00a0 Vlingo has had a strong presence on the Blackberry and iPhone, but this was the first time they launched a product on Android. \u00a0 They did not disappoint.<\/p>\n

\n

Many mobile platforms, including Android, have voice commands baked in, but Vlingo takes it up a notch.\u00a0 The app gives users the capability to launch apps, update their Twitter status, and send e-mail and text messages using just a voice.\u00a0\u00a0 Vlingo will also dial your contacts, searches Google Maps, and searches Google or Yahoo. It also includes four widgets and a Vlingo keyboard (which is very responsive I might add). Honestly, the app has it all!<\/p>\n

As someone who spends quite a bit of time driving, this app was a must have.\u00a0 Not only does it feature voice commands, but it has the capability to read you text messages and e-mails through a feature known as SafeReader.\u00a0 I can’t tell you how great it was to hear Vlingo read back an e-mail while I was driving.\u00a0 It was very accurate and only made a few minor mistakes.<\/p>\n

While the app is full of features and SafeReader was great, it is also very good when it comes to voice commands.\u00a0 While it may take a few tries for the app to get used to your voice, it ends up being spot on.\u00a0 In my few days using the app I encountered very few mistakes when I spoke clearly.\u00a0 Overall, this app was much better and more full-featured than the Android voice command app. It was great.<\/p>\n

All in all, I would recommend anyone who drives a lot to purchase\u00a0 this.\u00a0 It will be very helpful.\u00a0 The only downside is the price, which is $9.99.\u00a0 This is a bit steep, but for some (like me) it might be totally worth it.<\/p>\n

Good job Vlingo!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
