This app allows you to communicate with your iOS device in a very natural way. Predefined dialogs are possible, also a seemingly real conversation.

With the power of voice recognition, the iPhone can respond to you and due to this a very realistic feeling can be achieved.

The app can be fed with external data (like other apps, or web services). And due to that, it feels as if the dialogs couldn't been prepared beforehand.

'Q & A' stands for 'Question & Answer'. It can be seen as a database or dictionary. It consists always of two pairs. If you ask for the first value, you retrieve the second value. If you have for example a 'Q & A' of playing cards, it could look like this:

First value	Second value
One	Four of Clubs
Two	Two of Hearts
Three	Seven of Diamonds

If you start the 'Q & A' and say 'Two', the iPhone responds with the spoken 'Two of Hearts'.

By using this alone, you could perform a dialog, which is very flexible. Because you always get an answer to your question. You could have a dictionary like this:

First value	Second value
How are you	Thank you I'm fine
Who is your favourite magician	This is of course you
Can you help me with this one	Sure I could, but today I'm lazy

You don't have to ask the questions in sequence, you can ask them in any order.

A conversation is a more streamlined performance, since the sequence is predefined. But this streamlined conversation can be enhanced by some 'dynamic' content.

To build a conversation dialog there are currently 4 commands available.

• Speak
  
  
• Listen
  
  
• Wait
  
  
• Assign
  
  

By using keywords, the conversation can be made flexible and very realistic. E.g. the iPhone listens to a name and repeats it later. Also information from any predefined 'Q & A' can be accessed.

You will find many useful and more detailed infos in the help section of the app!

All of those languages can be set in the app for speaking and voice recognition. I had not the chance to test all of them, since I can speak only German and English. In case of any problems, I will do my best to fix it as quick as possible!

Talk Tools has a very easy-to-use interface, which allows other app developers, to send some information to the Talk-Tools app which then can be used for a reveal or something else.

It is exactly the way as it is already done for the card-order coiming from the Vision:Tricks app.

When data is transferred to Talk Tools and you navigated to a conversation beforehand, this conversation wil automatically start running. So if you want to have this combination of Talk Tools with another app, let the other app developer know - I'm more than happy to share the technical details!
