Twin Extreme Virtual Assistants. EVA and EVAN are your own twin personal assistants
for Android. Using text to speech and voice recognition they almost turn
your phone into a completely hands-free device.
Take your pick, if you prefer a female helping you then EVA is for you otherwise EVAN is more than ready.
Be sure to have an appropriate voice. Download the SVOX Classic app from the Market to browse through the English speaking voices that are available.
It's as simple
as shaking your phone to get her attention and then you speak your requests
using natural phrases. 'Eva, what's on my agenda for next week?', 'Post an
update to Facebook', 'text John hey what's up', 'get directions to John's
home', 'find images of kittens on google', 'tell
John where I am'.
These are just a sampling of the sort of requests you can ask
EVA. She understands all types of variations. With Google's voice
recognition learning ability, over time she will get to the point that she
almost always understands you.
For the best experience, please be sure to install SVOX
Classic from the Market and purchase an appropriate voice depending on whether you choose EVA or EVAN. They are only $2.99 and well worth the price because they
will work with any text to speech app on your device. Install this before
starting EVA.
