Meet Robin -- your personal voice assistant on the road!
** CNET says: "...Siri has breadth, but Robin has depth" ! **
Need
quick answers on the go, hands-free? Robin is your voice assistant for
local information, GPS navigation, communication and fun! And she'll
help keep your eyes on the road and off your perfectly-formed phone.
Voice in, voice out.
Users say: “After trying Speaktoit, Vlingo,
AIVC Pro, Iris, and Skyvi …Robin is the best voice app of its kind;
clearly the best choice for drivers in need of information on the road.”
** Endorsed by TechCrunch, CNET, Wired, Lifehacker, etc. **
Ask
Robin for directions & local places, parking & traffic, your
Facebook & Twitter news, gas prices & weather, reminders &
alarms, text messages & jokes and much more.
Robin is a personal
assistant that can be both useful and fun, constantly learning and
adapting to you. She'll even call you whatever names you want! Just tap
the microphone button, and Robin will be all ears. Even after launching
other apps, Robin is still there for you - just "wave hello" twice in
front of your phone’s upper edge (or brush/tap it lightly).
Compare
to voice apps such as Siri, Nuance, Dragon Go, Vlingo, Evi, Voice
Actions, VoiceSearch, SpeakToIt, Iris, Skyvi, Text by Voice and other
personal assistants, as well as GPS navigation such as Waze, Telenav,
MapQuest, Navigon, Garmin, TomTom, MotionX, Yelp, etc.
Notes
----------------------------
•
Robin is currently in Beta, she's still a student. But that also means
you can watch her intelligence evolve daily and even get to contribute a
little. Come be a part of the experience!
• Gesture activation:
normally, you just need to wave your hand twice close to the top edge of
your phone. For best results, we recommend using the "double-brush"
gesture, where your hand actually touches the phone lightly. Certain
devices require specific tuning - we are working down that list as we
speak.
• Permissions: Robin will never email your contacts without
your knowledge! It does need a permission to access you calendar for
reminders reminders, and to your GMail in case you want email narration –
that’s all. The wording Google Play uses can be misleading.
•
Trouble with a particular location? Missing point of interest? Any issue
at all? For best results, give your feedback to Robin right from within
the app, so we have more information to actually fix the issue ASAP.
