Creaceed has released Vocalia 1.2, adding french language support to the iPhone voice recognition dialing app. The update adds both French interface localization and a French phonetizer and acoustic model. Vocalia also works 10 times as fast at phonetizing and has a vibrating alert when it is ready to talk. Users access Address Book contacts, up to 5000 supported, by speaking to the software. It recognizes the name and brings up a list of close matches, allowing the user to pick the contact from the short list and place a call.Vocalia supports vocal shortcuts (best friend, mom, dad, etc.), can show up to ten results for a vocalized name and supports shaking to reset and try again. The software runs entirely on the iPhone; it does not call or link back to an external server or upload personal information to a third party.
The app is available now for the iPhone on the iTunes App store. It is on sale for half-off, at $4, until November 24th to celebrate the French localization update. After the sale it will cost $8.
