Vlingo Adds Support For Facebook, Foursquare


Vlingo



The voice-to-text app Vlingo has recently added function commands that allow for voice check-in on the location app Foursquare. In addition, Vlingo allows for a social update which simultaneously posts to Foursquare, Twitter, and Facebook; or in any configuration your choose.

So, how does it work?  Quite simply.  By just speaking into your Android device, you can use your voice to launch foursquare and:

  • Check in  to locations
    • Check in Hong Kong Express
    • Check into Logan Airport
  • Locate friends
    • Where are my friends?
    • Who’s nearby
  • Send shout outs
    • Shout headed to Fenway for the Sox game
    • foursquare shout at Starbucks grabbing a latte

You can check out the demo video below

I like the idea of voice commands, but I still find it only works for me about 60% of the time. How about you guys?

If you want to give Vlingo a try, it’s free on Android Market. You can download it from your Android phone by clicking HERE, or scan the code below.
