06 May 09 Hands-Free for Blackberry Phones Launched

Don’t think that Blackberry phones are spared from the usual issues of being used while driving or while you are doing something else. Thanks to Vlingo 3.0, a new hands-free control for Blackberry phones is now available.

Using the power of voice, Vlingo already enables users to send and reply to emails and text messages, search the mobile Web, dial the phone, look up contacts, and launch built-in applications — just by using their voice. With Vlingo 3.0, users gain an enhanced text-to-speech read-back feature for easy hands-free confirmation of what was spoken, the ability to speak action requests such as “send,” and support for wired headsets as well as many Bluetooth headsets.

Vlingo gives BlackBerry smartphone users the ability to power the most popular features by voice. They can simply press the side “convenience” key on their handset, which lets them speak commands into the smartphone. Vlingo 3.0 gives a user’s voice the ability to:

  • Send and reply to text messages with users who also have Vlingo
  • Web search
  • Dial the phone
  • Send a “note to self”
  • Facebook & Twitter status updates
  • Tell A Friend
  • Optional read-back of the full text or email message that was spoken
  • Speak action requests such as “send” or “search”
  • Launch native and third-party applications

BlackBerry smartphone users can get additional voice capabilities, including the ability to send and reply to text messages and emails to anyone for a one-time charge of $17.99. Existing users of Vlingo 2.0 can continue to use Vlingo 2.0 at no additional charge.
