Description

The new generation personal voice assistant. Ask it any question!
We started the app one month ago and had terrific feedback. We are now furiously working on adding more features to Voice Answer. With the last update, we have introduced location finding with augmented reality. We are working on features such as messaging, Email, reminders etc, and we are finalizing the animated robot as interface option.

Meanwhile, don't forget to put the chatbot to 'ON' if you want to have a conversation with Voice Answer, and put settings -> location services 'ON' for localized answers.

Voice Answer gives answers on many topics. You can ask your question either by talking to it or type it out, and the app will answer you in a clear voice.

The knowledge base behind the app contains 'Wolfram Alpha', which gives you an enormous amount of information in your pocket.

Examples of topics and specific questions:

Location:
'Where am I?'

Places:
'Where is the nearest bank?'

Mathematics:
'Integrate sin x dx from x=0 to pi'

Units & Measures
'U.K. men's size 11 shoe in Japanese size'

Money & Finance
'What is the Apple stock price'

Dates & Times
'What is the current time in Tokyo?'

Socioeconomic Data
'Compare age pyramid of New York and Miami'

Current Weather
'What will be the high temperature today?'

Health & Medicine
'What is the life expectancy of a U.S. female age 30?'

Places & Geography
'Where is ZIP 60637?'

People & History
'When did Gandhi die?'

Food & Nutrition
'2 slices of swiss cheese'

Physics
'What is the speed of light?'

Materials
'Show me Topaz'

Education
'How many kids are repeating primary school in California?'

Culture & Media
'US constitution'

Organizations
'New York University'

Astronomy
'Star chart'

Transportation
'Compare total length of all roads in USA and China'

Words & Linguistics
'Show me words that rhyme with bear'

Earth Sciences

Life Sciences
'Compare puma, lion, red fox'

Sports & Games
'San Francisco Giants'

Web & Computer Systems
'What is the cheapest tablet?'

Colors
'What do you get when you mix red and blue'

The answers are spoken out, and relevant images are given.

You can also just decide to put the chatbot on and have a general chat with Eve. Test her witty personality or just ask her to tell a joke or two.

Common Questions and concerns:

Q: Why do I get strange answers to my question?
A: Voice Answer will first check it's knowledge servers, including Wolfram Alpha's award winning service, for an answer. If these don't respond, either because the answer is unavailable or the servers are down, the chatbot will answer the question. These answers are generally more funny than useful. You can avoid strange answers by disabling the chatbot, and try your question later. We are further enhancing our current data sources with additional databases as these become available, as we want to offer our customers the very best.

Q: What do I do when voice answer doesn't understand my voice?
A: Voice Answer compares your voice against a database of spoken english words and sentences. It works better for some people than for others. In general it works better than the voice recognition used by many other apps, but it depends on your accent. Try to speak slow and use regular sentences. If this doesn't work, you can use the keyboard. As and when better voice recognition algorithms are developed and become available, we can and will plug these in.

Q: Will this app send messages, email, schedule meetings etc?
A: Not yet. We are very busy implementing this and a lot more will be included in an update very soon.

Q: I have seen the video with the robot animation. Is this how Voice Answer works?
A: No, not yet. We are implementing the fully animated robot as an option to communicate, and will introduce this soon.

We take your comments and criticisms very seriously and we plan to add additional features and further improve the app with a series of updates.

What's New in Version 1.2

- Added an augmented reality view for location searches
- Fixed a number of bugs. Voice Answer now does simple additions as well as complex integrals.

Customer Reviews

Getting better and better! (4 stars)
My likes...

1. Uses the Wolfram Alpha engine.
2. Augmented Reality.
3. All results stay within the app.

My dislikes...
1. Icon. I think it is cheesy.

My suggestions...
1. I wish this app could be an available keyboard option like Emoji. That way you could speak everything. I know, I am a dreamer.

Finally, something that is better than Siri! (5 stars)
First of all, the level of speech recognition of this app is unbeatable! Second, the level of data it gives (do try the weather question) made my Siri look weak. Very detailed, and good graphics. Third, I liked being able to text a question for some things she didn't quite get (which was mostly when I was messing around with the app ;)). Best of all, she has a great sense of humor.

Suggestions: Please let me name her :), that would

Works well (5 stars)
This is the next best thing to Siri, but it's even better because it works on my iPad!! It answered all my questions and commands.. get it now!
Just tried the augmented reality features in this update and I am impressed! I can see exactly the location I search for, wow, even siri can't do that!!
