Deceptive marketing

They restrict you to 20 dictations in a 24 hour period and it uses Nuance. Of course were informed of this AFTER weve paid for the app. IF I Was aware of this beforehand, I wouldnt have purchased the app.

Max 20 dictations a day

Agree with the other reviewer. After buying the application Im notified that it can only take 20 dictations a day as it uses Nuance. If this was a free app I could understand, but for a pay app to impose these limits and also only tell the user after they get your money is really cheating. This should be disclosed way up front. Wish I hadnt rushed and bought this. Hope this helps other users to not make the same mistake I did.

Good, needs work

Has potential, at least enough to replace the built in voice control. Its the same except you dont need to press the button. Two major problems: When you finish a call you need to press a button to return to Vokul. Also, there should be an option to turn auto touch-to-talk to never. If these changes are made I would leave this on all the time. Otherwise it defeats the purpose of not having to press the button. Always listening mode and fitness mode are great. Add the ability to tell time, too. That would help.

Not Bad

I dont think the 20 limit is that bad. Yes it should be told upfront. I find when it doesnt get an answer right away it cancels very fast. Slowing that down would help. I primarily want to use it just for texting and I dont text more than the 20 allowed.

Usefull

As I get more familiar it may become 4 star.

Great for skiing and riding chairlifts.

I dont have to take my hand out of my glove to pinch the remote to skip songs or play playlists anymore because of the always on function. Wouk be good to add "Vokul volume up/down" commands and "what time is it?" commands.

So far so good...

Bought this app as I need something better than Siri for in the car. Voice recognition is pretty good. Better some days than others, but Im still getting use to it. This app has great potential. Hopefully they keep up on it to improve its compatibility with the stock music app. Sometime the two apps confuse each other, and its hard to stop/play one another when in the car, as when the iPhone gets connected via USB to a headunit in a car, it automatically start playing music from the stock music app. Anyway, overall 9/10.

No Way

This does not play music, podcasts, nor text - even if Music or iMessages is already on - on iPad 2. Wish I could get a refund!!!!!!! Arrrrgggghhhh

No A2DP support

How hard can it be to make it work ? I bought the app long ago thinking this would be added in the next release as stated on their website. But its a let down at every update. I guess "Bluetooth support coming" only meant operations/texting which isnt as usefull. Cant use it in my car so I just never use it. Thanks for taking my money.

Love it!!!

This app trumps any other voice app out there ( including Siri ) the guy rating one star based on A2DP. Uhh go buy a FM transmitter or a audio cable, works flawless in the car.

Impressive - Better than Siri in some ways!

First, this works with everything back to a 3GS! Great app, use this when Im driving or walking the dogs. Get lots done by sending texts and emails - all without having to pull my iPhone out of my jacket. Listen to music, skip ahead, next song - all supported! One of my top app recommendations! :-) Easter Egg - say "Thank you Vokul!)

My review

Im so thankful for this app its amazing

Amazing App

So worth the price. Safety convince all in a futuristic package. Made my BMW even cooler over the speaker phone

Poor app

Poor voice recognition, very limited app. Not happy with myself for rushing to make this purchase.

Why ???

App worked super good until I updated to iOS 6...:-(

Need to press send

Useless, works great until you want to send a text, you have to press send.....

Not hands free

After getting the text right, vokul just paste it in the Message app. I have to hit send. I wish it would send the message without have to touch the phone.

Does exactly what it advertises

I have been looking for an app to use for my long commute. Even though this one doesnt currently do everything I want (I.e. email) the thing it does do, it does very well. I have tried other apps and they are totally frustrating. This one was a breeze. Thanks for putting together a quality app. I am looking forward to the next update with email dictation.

Maybe in will understand contact names, maybe it wont

And no bluetooth support. Not a great investment.

useful app

I have about 6 Siri alternatives on my phone. This one lacks a couple of features, such as adding calendar entries (but this is supposed to be added in future) and internet searching (but there are good alternatives for this). It allows for hands free driving and control of music, podcasts, texting, etc. It is the best Siri alternative I have tried and I will probably still use it even after I have a phone w/ Siri because of being able to use voice only to initiate actions (i.e., once program is left on, you dont have to hold button down to start).
