About Cognito (Ultimate)

"An excellent app - Editor's Choice from DroidAppOfTheDay.com/2012/11/#1173437722159198564"

For considerably less than the price of an espresso drink you can text, phone, get movies listings, sports scores, news headlines, set reminders, remember things, and more, ... eyes- and hands-free just using your voice!

Cognito provides the benefits of continuous speech recognition and synthetic speech to do things for you and provide information even while your screen has dimmed or is in sleep mode. It's the only truly hands-free and eyes-free voice recognition assistant on Android, making it ideal for use on the road, in bright places where you can't see your screen, and wherever and whenever your hands are not free.

What makes Cognito different from other voice assistant apps like Google Now, Siri, Vlingo, Assistant, Eva, and others is Cognito never requires that you tap an icon to speak, make screen selections, or look at the screen to see results. It simply speaks to you like a real person. Cognito continually listens for your voice, responds when you've spoken, and learns and improves upon recognizing your voice.

Say things like "Where's the nearest grocery store?", "What were yesterday's baseball scores?", "Text Ben: I'll be there in 5 minutes.", "What are the top movies?", "Call Fred", or "Remind me to pick up my laundry at 4 o'clock today." without ever having to press a button or look at your phone.

With Cognito you can hands-free:
Send texts
Place phone calls
Find nearby restaurants, grocery stores, and other places
Set reminders
Remember things
Make appointments or create tasks
Get baseball, basketball and hockey scores
Movie show times and theaters
Local weather or in any city
Stock market quotes
News headlines
Airline flight information
The location of your car or anything you designate
Get word definitions
Convert units of measure or currency
Do simple calculations
Get the time or date
Hear jokes or wise sayings

... and more features are being added all the time.

Cognito sounds best with natural voices such as those offered by IVONA.

How do I syop the mike from beeping it drivive me crazy ..unless there is a way ..this is not usable

Not responding to questions, yet recognizes much of what I say. Doesn't associate any of my contacts, will continuously pick up ambient noise and think it's a command. "Call? " tends to pop up frequently...which could be dangerous if it thinks you want to call someone...chances of that happening though are very unlikely as it DOESNT RECOGNISE ANY CONTACTS! Better off with one of the Assistants. Save your money

App seems ok but it wont get the weather for me for any location, if they could take the best of Skyvi and combine it with this app then you would have something. Please fix the weather, I'm in Key West and it says weather is not available for my location, ok, so i ask it for the weather in Chicago and it says "the weather in Chicago is degrees and" that's all it says for the weather whatever city i say. Please fix it.

This app almost does the job but there are some tweaks that would really help. First, it defaults to the mobile number of a contact. There is no way to call or text a secondary number. It would be very helpful if that were added. Second, this is not a one stop for all voice control app. You cannot do navigation for instance. There are some things that I would rather control with my phones voice commands or Google search. It would be very helpful if there was a wake up command or even a "listen - stop listening command. I really want this to work for texting most of all. If these little things were added it would be great.

Why does the Mike keep beeping every 4 seconds while it's running in the background? Other than that it's good.

I can't get my the settings to save. As soon as soon I exit the app the settings are gone. Please fix.

This app is the best ever. They are so quick to get back with help if you need it. It beats Vlingo which I couldn't get to do anything. Its well worth $1.99. I recommend it highly. I bought a dashboard holder for my phone so I can talk to it freely. She finds things quickly, texts quickly and makes phone calls quickly. I like that I can go back to my main screen on the phone once she is turned on, so the phone sleeps but she's right there if you need her.

This app is awesome! Dosent always understand what i say but i guess that will improve in the future. I couldnt stop laughing for hours when it said back to me 'i thought i heard you say f**k off. After trying to ask it something else'.

The app is very interesting and the 'continuous hands free' aspect is pretty slick. Developer is extremely responsive to questions/feedback. Can't wait to see where it goes from here. Recommended!

After the update it actually works. As promised, I changed my rating. Thanks for the update.

I love the fact that I don't have to click a button to get this to work. It acts like a real assistant. The key is to learn the proper commands. Once I did that, this app understood everything I said.

These guys get it! I used Cognito to get airline flight information on the way to the airport and it was right on. I was able to leave my phone sitting on the dash board the whole time! It was like having a buddy sitting next to me to talk to. I then used it to find the nearest Starbucks on the way back and I learned of a Starbucks I never knew about. Very cool! Asked it the weather forecast, to text my wife, and got stock quotes, again, all without having to touch my phone. Awesome app! Keep up the great work!!!

As was mentioned in a previous review the great feature of this app is that you leave it running passively and it finds you answers as you need them. There are a lot of possible uses for this app that I probably haven't even considered. Great job!

The capabilities are awesome! More intelligent then other competing apps. As was mentioned above, this is the future of search.

I've had it for almost. 24 hours, n it is horrible it does not respond to questions. So I rate it a zero

X70%
by X####:

Its a great app but having it always listening and beeping on everything i say is a bit annoying. Maybe add a sleep/wake up phrase so that it wont make noise unless u call apon it. If it had that it would be on a path to crush some of these other assistant apps. Great app to start though!1

I have been looing for a good voice app for my G2; I did not have any problems getting it downloaded and installed. In fact, asked for directions and a joke within the first two minutes of activation - both successful and funny! For $2 beats the others I have tried.
