Voice Answer now available on Apple Store and Google Play

Voice Answer Application for iPhones, iPad and Android phones are now available in Apple Store and Google Play. Voice Answer gives answers on many topics. You can ask your question either by talking to it or type it out, and the app will answer you in a clear voice.

How does it Works? 

Voice Answer will wait for your question, either spoken or typed (practical when your environment is noisy).
Voice Answer will then display the question, and then connect to relevant sources on the internet to look up the answer. One main source is Wolfram Alpha. Depending on the answer, additional information will be presented: images relevant to the answer or associated topics.

The answer will be presented and spoken out by ‘Eve’, your Voice Answer assistant. Previous answers will be stored, you can set the number of answers in 'settings'.

You can also enable the chatbot feature. You can then have a discussion with Eve on any topic. Don't expect her answers to be 100% correct though.

The knowledge base behind the app contains 'Wolfram Alpha', which gives you an enormous amount of information in your pocket.

Examples of topics and specific questions:

Mathematics:
'Integrate sin x dx from x=0 to pi'

Units & Measures
'U.K. men's size 11 shoe in Japanese size'

Money & Finance
'What is the Apple stock price'

Statistics & Data Analysis
'geometric mean 12, 17'

Dates & Times
'What is the current time in Tokyo?'

and many more....

Voice Answer is an assistant that works on iphone , ipad and Android devices. You can ask it questions on any topic, either by talking to it or write, and it will answer you in a clear voice.

Voice Answer is the professional sister to 'Voice Ask', which has been developed by us earlier. Voice Answer uses a different knowledge base and provides information that has more depth and can be fully counted on.
