Vlingo does more than voice dialing on the iPhone

Vlingo Corporation has introduced a free voice-based iPhone application called vlingo, that interacts with other iPhone applications. It is not your run-of-the-mill voice-activated dialing app.

In addition to voice-dialing, you can also voice activate a Yahoo! or Google search, a Google Map search, and even update your status on Twitter and Facebook. You simply open the vlingo application, press and hold the “press and speak” button on your screen, and then say whatever it is you want to search for or update. Vlingo claims that users can speak normally — that is, no special commands are necessary for vlingo to work. It will be interesting to see how well this works in everyday use.
