Cactus Voice Dialer

Cactus is a free voice dialer for the iPhone. It allows you to call any contact in your address book by saying commands like:

• "Call Kate Bell"
• "Call Anna mobile"
• "Call David Jones at home"

Because Cactus runs completely on your device, it does not send any private information such as contact list to any server and works fast even on an EDGE data connection.

• tune the system's sensitivity by displaying one or several results for each command
• set the system to automatically launch calls or not
• use Main numbers by default for contacts that have several numbers

Cactus was written by Antoine Raux. It is based on PocketSphinx, an open source speech recognition engine for embedded devices developped at Carnegie Mellon University (big thanks to David Huggins-Daines, the main author of PocketSphinx).

Tips

• Use full names for best results
• For contacts that do not get recognized, define a Phonetic First/Last Name in the address book. Cactus will use them to guess the pronunciation. E.g.: for "Antoine", use "Antwaan".
• When accuracy is high enough, change settings to pick best result only and automatically launch the call.
• For contacts that have several numbers, you can label one of them as "Main" (rather than e.g. "Home" or "Mobile") in your address book and set Cactus to call that number by default through the Settings page.
