Speaktoit, the Android’s number 1 virtual assistant with over 6 million downloads worldwide has been updated to version 1.3.1. The app comes with a few new key features for usability and content. Read on for more details.
First up, the app has just gone 3D with the introduction of new and more realistic avatar. Yes, lovely assistant there. 🙂 In addition to that, for users who are regularly interacting with their Speaktoit, Speaktoit has developed what they call “mental pushups” as ways to get the blood flowing in creative ways. Asking trivia questions, completing word rhymes, etc.

Other enhancements include the ability to read email from Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc. All users can now ask to search emails by subject or sender. There is also an integration with Waze for super-easy navigation while you’re in your car (and it’s all hands-free). Hey, we heard that Facebook is in talks to acquire Waze for up to $1 billion.
For premium users, you can now launched Speaktoit via voice activation even when your phone display is turned off.  Simply give your phone a voice command of “Hey Assistant” to wake it up. The video below demonstrated the voice activation.
