Hobson Files Connect

**** Thanks for stopping by our little corner of the app store. We have made Hobson Files Connect FREE to encourage user feedback and reviews, positive or negative, so that we can continue to improve and develop the app. So please leave a review with your thoughts/suggestions. Best Wishes for 09..! =) - THE HOBSON FILES TEAM ****

We are the first voice app in the store to make use of both local and server side voice recognition to give a uniquely compelling and interactive experience that was previously unavailable on the iPhone.

Hobsons unique interface uses a technique known as voice guided speech recognition to directly control elements on the iPhone display - 100% voice activated. This makes Hobson extremely intuitive, fun, and easy to use.

Hobson has 4 main commands:

SHARE:
Share any contact in your Address Book with any other contact in your Address book using only your voice. Hobson will instantly send a contact vCard to the recipients email address. Using this vCard the recipient can import directly into many of their favorite programs/devices, including the iPhone (through Mail app) and Outlook.

CALL:
Use your voice to call any one of your contacts completely HANDS-FREE. Disable contacts that you dont want recognized.

DIAL:
Numeric Dialer included - Dial a number using our 100% VOICE ACTIVATED DIAL PAD.

VIEW:
Use your voice to view any contact and bring up their info page from where you can Edit their information without exiting the app.

HIGH TECHNOLOGY:
- Two kinds of voice recognition. Local recognition is done to handle all interface commands. Powerful server-side voice recognition is used to recognize up to several thousand contact names.

- Dynamic ambiance detection: Hobson adjusts to your environment automatically to give you the best experience in any given situation. Whether youre in a noisy airport or a silent office Hobson will auto-adjust to ensure consistency in the interface navigation.

- Background noise removal. Hobson analyzes ambient noise and removes as much as possible without distorting voice signal. This enables Hobson to behave well in noisy environments like a car with a loud cabin.

--- IMPORTANT ----
***** WE RECOMMEND THAT THE USER SPEAK CLEARLY WITHIN 3-6 INCHES OF IPHONE MIC FOR BEST ACCURACY *****

***** IF YOU SEE THE ERROR: "Your contacts are still being processed please try again in a few seconds." IT MEANS HOBSON HAS DETECTED A CHANGE IN YOUR CONTACT SEARCHABLES LIST OR ADDRESS BOOK AND MUST REBUILD YOUR GRAMMAR FILE. WE ARE WORKING TO INCREASE PERFORMANCE SERVER-SIDE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE FOR THE NEXT UPDATE. IN THE INTERIM PLEASE BE PATIENT WHEN YOUR GRAMMAR IS BEING REBUILT *****

***** HOBSON IS FIRST NAME PREFERENTIAL. IF A FIRST NAME CHRIS IS SAID IT RETURNS CONTACTS WITH THE FIRST NAME CHRIS. PLEASE NOTE IF THE FIRST NAME FIELD IN THE PHONE APP CONTAINS BOTH THE FIRST AND LAST NAME i.e. CHRIS SMITH, THEN HOBSON MATCHES CHRIS SMITH AND NOT CHRIS. *****

***** IF ONE CANT FIND A CONTACT SHARED USING HOBSON CHECK SPAM FOLDER: THE EMAIL PROVIDER MAY HAVE INCORRECTLY MARKED IT AS SPAM *****
