Vocalia 2.0 released - Voice access to iPod songs and Safari bookmarks

Mons, Belgium - Creaceed today announced the release on the App Store of Vocalia 2.0, its speech recognition application for the iPhone. Creaceed listened to their users and implemented the most requested features. On the one hand, users can ask Vocalia to search for songs from the iTunes library by saying the artist or group name. On the other hand, they can import their bookmarks from their Mac to their iPhone/iPod Touch, and then ask Vocalia to open them in Safari.

Vocalia works in English, French and German, and is based on CeedVocal SDK, the speech recognition technology developed by Creaceed for the iPhone. Additional languages will be available within a few weeks.
