*****************************************************************************
With only a single button-click, record a voice note, have it converted to text and sent as an email (with attached audio recording) or SMS. Great for capturing that important thought when driving, walking, etc. By converting speech to text, it avoids having to listen to audio recordings of notes later and then writing them down (although the audio is available if you need it). Unlike other apps that send emails semi-automatically, the email is sent completely in the background - no email app to select and no Send button to push.
Other features include:
* seven different recipients (default and six selected by user-defined voice tags)
* todo list on the main screen, to which you can add items by voice
* log of all messages you have sent
* confirmation dialog of message, so you can edit it or cancel it. If you do nothing, the dialog is automatically dismissed after 5 seconds and the message is sent.
* user defined voice prompt
* optional reading of your message back to you
LANGUAGE SUPPORT:
Although the app currently has English text for all the menus, etc., the voice recognition and speech-to-text works for a bunch of different languages. (Localization for menus, etc. in other languages is in the works.)
GOOGLE VOICE RECOGNITION:
VocaNote uses Android's Voice Recognition service as well as Android's Text to Speech service (for prompting and reading your message back to you). The Voice Recognition requires a data connection, since the recognition is performed on Google's servers.
To improve recognition, speak slowly with space between your words.
