Without Typing SMS, Try Yooi

Application developers from Bandung, West Java, has created a mobile phone application that allows users to communicate with text messages and phone calls without having to touch the device.
With that ability, Yooi, would be helpful for users who are driving the car because the sms can be done with voice commands.

"If Siri takes about a minute to respond to commands because it must be connected to the Internet and it was not that bad signal. However, this application only takes 10 seconds to respond to commands without being connected to the Internet," said Chief Pengemang Yooi Applications, Suyanto, when participating in Indonesia ICT Award (INAICTA) 2012 in Jakarta on Friday (14/9).
Suyanto said that local applications can minimize distractions when we were driving or in a meeting. Interestingly, the application includes areas such as vocabulary Sundanese, Javanese, Batak, Betawi Tegal and primary language other than Indonesia.
Suyato demonstrate, "You do not have to bother typing, simply hold your smart phone to your mouth and say 'sorry I'm on the road, I'll call back or I was in a meeting." Then you say send to the destination instance name Budi. Then a message will automatically be written on the screen and immediately sent a text message to Blake. "
"This application can minimize disruptions that interfere with the focus when you're driving a car," said the Lecturer in the Department of Artificial Intellegence STT Telkom Bandung Unfortunately, the app store about a thousand new vocabulary that only emergency such as when driving a car or in a meeting. For the time being, can not be used for typing messages or notes are composed of many words.



"For the time is still limited availability of vocabulary but we will continue to develop. Users can add their own words what he wanted. Applications do not provide English and other foreign languages, native to Indonesia," he said.
"To increase vocabulary area, we will hold regional community to be willing to enter into the local vocabulary database application," he said.
Nevertheless, this application can capture command in a noisy place once and set the speed of sound. To get the application, you can download it in the Android Market.
"The word Yooi taken from the words commonly used by the people who mean so," said Jeffry Adityatama, one staff developer.
