Must have app: Edwin
Full voice control for your Android phone.
Android already has some good speech input options. The fact that you can send texts or do Google and Google Map searches via text is great. There’s a free app, called “Edwin”, that extends your voice controls even further and makes the phone even more useful.
Edwin is freely available through the Android Market. It’s a small download.
Opening it offers you a chance to control your phone via voice command. You can say “Turn on Wi-Fi” and it will. No need to go into settings for that. Same to turn off Wi-Fi. Or Bluetooth.
You can also ask it “What is the current weather?” and it will tell you, based on your GPS location. You can ask it directions to the nearest market, or gas, or ask for the spelling or definition of a word.
I love on this video demo

where you can ask it: “Translate ‘Where can I buy a vegetarian monkey?’ to French”, and it does!
Edwin is a really great app, it really expands the voice control and usability of your Android phone. I highly recommend it.
