Creaceed has launched a new update to its voice recognition iPhone app, Vocalia 1.4, adding support for German language recognition and a German interface. Vocalia searches Address Book contacts via speech recognition, using the Julius engine for multi-locutor, speech recognition, supporting up to 5000 contacts. It recognizes a spoken name and brings up a list of possible matches, allowing the user to pick the contact from a short list, placing a call. In addition to German, the app supports English and French languages.

Vocalia supports vocal shortcuts for friends, family members and more and can show up to ten results for a vocalized name. It also allows shaking for a reset.

The updated app is available now for the iPhone with ver. 2.2 software, on the iTunes App store. It is temporarily on sale for $4.
