What is the best android app for OFFLINE voice commands (offline - not "Ok Google")?

Hi, I'm looking for a good app that allows you to assign a voice command, for example, "Call Mom" to the actions you would perform on the phone to dial Mom's phone number. I'm calling this "off-line voice commands." I do not want to have all my contacts stored on some cloud server and then let Google or something else to find it there and call the number for me. I want it all to take place internally, that is on my phone. This is sort of like recording a macro. There must be a good app that does that. Please don't give my instructions on how to use the microphone for Google to do this. You have to understand that I want to do this OFFLINE. A lot of people don't seem to understand that when you use Google for this, it's an online process. Samsung users say they have an already installed app called "S-Voice" that does this offline. It would be similar to that. Also found an app called "Utter" on the google play store, but it looks like it's in Beta. I've yet to download an app and was hoping other Xperia users found something already on the phone that does this. Oh and my Language and input setting is already set to "Default English" with speech output set to on. Thanks again. Chrissy

 Trial and error, there are myriad options on the playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brandall.nutter&hl=en

    Flash Player 11, but you have to sideload if you lost it.

    Adobe stopped support a while ago for it.  They are replacing Flash Player with Air.  WatchESPN for example uses Air.

  • What is the best GPS app for an iPhone 4s?

    What is the best GPS app for an iPhone 4s?

    There are several things to consider.  For instance many GPS apps download maps on the fly.  If you don't have an unlimited cellular data plan this can use a lot of your data allotment.  Other apps like Tom Tom and CoPilot Live save all the maps on the device.  The maps will take up a lot of memory on your iPhone.  I use CoPilot Live Premium and the maps take up about 2GB of memory. 
    Then there is a matter of cost.  Most apps that download maps on the fly are free or a very low cost.  The ones that store the maps on the iPhone generally cost more.
    I use Copilot Live Premium HD US because it gives me all the features I need for a relatively low cost, about $20 USD.

    Good place to look for software:

    And for free alternatives to some popular software packages:

    (If you see an ad there for something called MacKeeper, ignore it and on no account install it - it is malware.)
    And there is of course also the App Store!

  • What's the best thesaurus app for iPhone 4S?

    I'm looking for the best thesaurus app for my new iPhone 4S.
    The best I've seen listed to so far is the Oxford English version for $24.99 Canadian. All the rest are Roget II or those A-Z thesauri which I've never liked.
    I prefer the Roger's International Thesaurus (remember in school that yellow paperback thesaurus with the kangaroo on the front?) which has all the words divided by subject in the front, and all the words listed alphabetically in the back, subdivided by meaning, and have a number listed as to where it is in the front (ie GREEN noun greenness 44.1 verdigris 44.3 lawn 310.7 adjective inexperienced 414.17 new 841.7 etc etc etc).
    I would like to find an app version of that (320,000 words and phrases in 1072 categories according to the back of the book) or the closest version.
    Is there such a thing or is the Oxford English version the closest I will come to it? I consider this one of the most important apps I will put on my phone. Even more important than Facebook. haha

    depends
    some people dock to
    sync with their computer
    some to charge
    some to use audio out
    the answer to your question really comes down to what you are trying to do

  • What is the best Radio app for Iphone with poor Signal

    hi folks
    i live in rural shropshire, UK and where there is a poor signal reception and no 3G so i was hoping if someone could tell me what is the best radio app with about 2-3 bars of signal on O2 please can someone help thx

    Well, 2(.(7)5)G (GPRS/EDGE) is still sufficient for a lot of (mostly HE-AACv2) streams - they're between 24 and 40 kbps, . That is, first, check out whether there are favorite stations in the station directory of the HE-AACv2-specific radio app "Tuner2 Hi-Fi Radio". Note that there are other HE-AACv2-capable clients but this one is the best.
    Below is an excerpt from the dedicated section of my all-in-one iPhone radio article, just discussing these questions. Sorry, there are no links or not any kind of formatting in the text - I just couldn't paste it by keeping them.
    2.1 3G vs. 2.(7)5G vs. Wi-Fi
    Whenever possible, deactivate 3G (if you have a second- or third-generation iPhone used in a compatible 3G network, that is). Why? It’s easy: I’ve made some very thorough experiments with power consumption when streaming over cellular (mobile phone) connections. For this, I’ve listened to a 31 kbps VBR HE-AACv2 stream in Pocket Tunes. I’ve measured the battery life decrease of 0.6%/minute when streaming in 3G and 0.3%/minute when doing the same in 2.75G (EDGE) and 2.5G (GPRS). This means streaming 3G consumes two times more battery than in 2.75G with a stream that, when streamed over Wi-Fi, consumes 0.18% power a minute.
    This also means that, even if you have an unlimited Internet data plan, try using Wi-Fi whenever possible because it’s almost two times more battery-friendly than even 2.75G (EDGE) / 2.5G (GPRS) – and 3.3 (that is, 60/18) times more so compared to 3G.
    Having to rely on pre-3G stream speeds means the following:
    - If you only have GPRS connection (but not EDGE), select a station broadcasting at less than 35-40 kbps to avoid pauses and stuttering. You can easily see if your phone is in GPRS only: then, to the right of the name of your network, there is a circle and not the capital letter ‘E’ (it’s '3G' when in 3G mode and it’s here that the Wi-Fi signal is shown when operating over Wi-Fi.)
    Note that, with some networks (for example, Vodafone in some? all? countries) there’s no EDGE at all. There, you either use 3G or GPRS. The latter rules out all stations with speeds over 40 kbps. If this is the case, you will most probably have to rely on HE-AACv2 (also known as AAC+) streams, should you want good audio quality and stereo sound. The other formats, MP3, AAC-LC (the two formats natively supported by the built-in QuickTime player) and WMA are completely unable to deliver good, stereo audio quality under 40 kbps; OGG is able, but around 36-38 kbps, which may result in stuttering over lower-quality GPRS connections or congested network.
    You can find a lot of AAC+ streams at http://dir.xiph.org/by_format/AAC+ and http://yp.shoutcast.com/. Note that, with the latter, you will want to click radio stations with AAC+ type (see the last column). Unfortunately, unlike with collecting with MP3 stations only, you will not want to tap the header of the last, “Type” column, to order them to collect all AAC+ stations at the end of the list because it’s not possible to easily jump to the end of this list. (Tapping will only order the stations in a way that the list starts with MP3 ones; that is, stations well above 40 kbps - and the few that broadcast under 40kbps, do so with awful audio quality.)
    Note that moodio.fm (which, as with the former two, stream directories, that is, xiph.org and shoutcast.com, has been introduced in section 1. Built-in capabilities: QuickTime), by default, also uses AAC+. As with the former two stations, in order to play back these AAC+ streams in an AAC+-capable radio player (the built-in QuickTime isn’t one of them) like Pocket Tunes Radio or FStream, you’ll want to copy these links to the clipboard and, then, paste them into a custom, user-defined station in these apps (as long as you don’t find a station of your liking in the built-in station directories of these radio clients). To do so,
    1. in Safari, long-tap the link and, then, select “Copy” from the context menu
    2. Switch to the radio station, go to its dedicated custom station entry dialog (with FStream, Favorites / Edit / Add new webradio at the bottom; with Pocket Tunes, Favorites / Edit / +) and tap the URL field a bit longer after cleaning it entirely (if there’s a http:// in it; with FStream, there isn’t). You’ll see a Paste flag (icon) as in this screenshot
    3. Just tap it; the station URL will be pasted to the field
    4. You can also give your station a name
    (Note that you can also manipulate the favorite list of FStream via Wi-Fi, from a desktop Web browser. It offers a far faster way of adding and deleting favorites.)
    Note that Pocket Tunes Radio also has a built-in Web browser. If you navigate from it to, say, m.moodio.fm or yp.shoutcast.com, you won’t need to do any copy / pasting like explained in the previous section. FStream (my other pick for HE-AACv2 playback) doesn’t have a Web browser. Note that several other (except for ooTunes, not that recommended) players also have a built-in browsers. You can do exactly the same in all of them except for eingrad’s RadioBOX, which, currently, has bugs in its Web browser: when you tap a link, the playback (if the built-in QuickTime is compatible with it) will start in QuickTime and not in the built-in player. (The developers stated they would fix this bug some time.)

  • What is the best IE app for ipad to use ?

    What is the best IE app to use for ipad ?

    "IE" app? Can you explain what you mean? Internet Explorer is a web browser for the Windows operating system. The built in web browser on your iPad is Safari. If you don't like that, there are lots of others in the App Store. Popular ones include Chrome, iCab Mobile and Dolphin.

  • What's the best netflix app for watching Netflix on an itouch?

    There seem to be several Netflix apps available. I want one that will allow me to see my Instant Queue list and watch movies/shows on my itouch.
    What's the best one?

    I don't believe any of the third-party apps allow you to view a Netflix movie. The developer terms for Netflix actually prohibit other apps from providing playback; the app is only allowed to launch Netflix' own player (and that only on desktop systems). Third-party apps may, however, provide alternative, and perhaps better, ways to find and queue movies than does the Netflix app.
    Regards.

  • What are the best essential apps for a newbie?? Please help...

    I'm new to Mac and in dire need of apps so that I can utilize my Mac for more than the very basic. Other than regular updates, I haven't put anything on it yet. I want to be able to do the basics - type a document/report, a sign, labels or design cupcake toppers or things for my child (a problem I've run into this week preparing for my child's birthday). I'd also like a money/finance app and wondered if there was something available than the usual Quicken. There are so many apps to choose from and I don't want to spend more than I have to or spend anything on something that I don't need or won't use. I'm all for spending money on doing it right, just need some guidance. Any suggestions?
    Another question: What's the best way to protect my Mac? I'm careful about emails, etc., and I'm scared to death to download any apps online unless it's the App Store - am I correct in thinking that it's safe??
    I appreciate any and all suggestions in advance...this has been quite the headache

    Apple's own iWork suite (+Pages, Numbers, Keynote)+ is more than enough for the vast majority of users. I'm a "power user" - I prepare manuscripts for publishing using InDesign and Microsoft Word. Those are the tools I have to work with to be as close to 100% compatible with my collaborators as possible.
    *But for all of MY document creation needs, I use Pages.* It's very powerful, providing all of the tools, templates, etc., one could want. And for presentations? Keynote is simply amazing and so much better than PowerPoint could ever hope to be. (and FYI, we're expecting anydaynow that Apple will release iWork '11... +since there is no indication from Apple whether those who purchase iWork '09 apps will have free or discounted upgrates to iWork '11 apps, you might want to wait+).
    Labels is the one thing that catches a lot of folks when they move to the Mac - they expect it to be a part of the word processor (Pages), when it's really in a more logical place - *Address Book*! Use AB to track your contacts. Make groups of contacts (like, Christmas list), Select the group you want to print onto labels, and choose File-->Print. In the Print dialogue, you'll find options to choose various label formats and other customizations.
    Two essential additions are Perian and Flip4Mac. These are two System Preference add-ons that will allow your Mac to play WMV and other multimedia files that you may encounter on the internet.
    For much more information and suggestion for new Mac owners, check out the Mac Help section at the Canadian Mac User's forum, ehmac.ca! We have a thread specific to your question, always pinned to the top of the forum

    iOS 6 states that it will remove the default YouTube app due to the end of a licensing agreement. So I'm wondering what YouTube app is the best? (features-wise, rating-wise,etc)

    Have you tried the Google YouTube app?
