Speaktoit Assistant is a virtual buddy for your Android device that uses natural language technology to answer questions, find information, launch apps and connect you with various web services, such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, and many others.
The Assistant works with your smartphone to get maps, search for news and images, look up weather reports, convert currency and measurements, send email, and much more.
No need to memorize special commands or complex interfaces - simply speak or type in everyday language and the Assistant will understand and respond with what you need.

This is a beta version - if the assistant doesn't answer some of your questions we will fix it really soon.

Best location based app for Android?

I'm looking for a good location based app.
Something like Siri where I can use speech to text. If I want to find a Chinese restaurant nearby, I could just speak "find me a Chinese restaurant".
I've tried Vlingo, Personal Assistant and Voice Search.
What else is there?
I believe there is a Wolfram Alpha app. It's based off the same tech Siri uses.

Iris voice assistant can also use Vlingo instead of google voice search!!!

Iris requires Google voice search for its voice recognition. Based on some code i went through written by Dexetra, i think Google voice API is used and hence, it is hard coded... But somehow through the TP voice io settings, i enabled Vlingo instead of google voice search and ran Iris...and it was able to answer some questions...thing is, Vlingo is better than Google voice when it comes to voice recognition...but it can respond correctly only to some questions and is quite unstable...I wish iris was compatible with Vlingo as much as it is with Google voice search...

[Q] A way to make applications use off-line google voice?

Hi, I have been trying out the offline google voice recognition feature and have been pretty darn impressed but there seems to be a caveat (not necessarily googles fault?) i can't seem to figure how if there is a way to get all/most applications to use it. That is, if i want to use evernote voice-to-text, or vlingo, or google voice I can't because they all ask for an internet connection. I am not sure if this is because they are using their own voice rec system or using google's old online voice rec but its proving to be a real hindrance as these applications are where voice rec is the most useful.
So, is there a way to trick or force these applications to use google's offline voice recognition or is that an impossibility?
cheers, -Gaiko
PS I heard a rumor that offline google translate was going to be an option at some point? Anyone else heard anything similar?
