The team at The Boy Genius Report posted a story about Makayama’s Voice Dial, which adds voice recognition to Apple’s iPhone.
The software allows you to do a number of tasks like starting a phone call, opening applications or even browsing to Safari bookmarks. Unfortunately, it uses a rather outdated technology: rather than dynamically recognizing your voice, the software requires that you first record a clip for a specific action, then compares any spoken commands to the recorded clips. Still, it’s the best, the only, solution out there.
Voice Dial 1.0 is available on Makayama’s website for $27.95 or EUR 19.95, and of course it requires a jailbroken iPhone.
