iTalk

Do you forget meeting times, picking up the kids from school or other importing things? The iTalk may be your answer. It is a new voice activated reminder assistant alarm clock. With iTalk, you can easily record personal reminders or important tasks with your own voice.

To use, simply talk to iTalk in your normal voice to record up to 10 personal reminders, set the alarm, ask for today's date and more. iTalk is completely "speaker independent", meaning it understands any English spoken voice- right out of the box!

"Studies have shown that from teens to seniors, the iTalk Reminder Assistant will be in demand. Remembering important tasks such as taking medications or important meetings are often a challenge, and the large, 2 inch Blue or Amber LED digits, which can be seen day or night, are excellent for visually impaired or blind persons. Teenagers love the fact they can say 'snooze' without lifting a finger for additional sleep and every age group treasured the fact that they could set personal reminders of all sorts with their very own voice." claims Mr. Kruger, Marketing Director of Neutrano Concepts, Inc.

The iTalk Reminder Assistant is available now at frontgate.com for $69.99. iTalk will be available in retail stores later this year.

I absolutely hate, in my half asleep state, to fumble for the button to turn the alarm clock off. Granted, this doesn't happen very much. I am one of those that always wakes up before my alarm clock goes off. But, when I do hear that high screaming tone, I sometimes want to scream at it myself. And guess what? Now I can with Neutrano's iTalk alarm clock.

With the iTalk, you set the time, alarm, tell it to snooze and even ask what the date is…all by just talking to it (in English only). It uses TimeSet Voice technology, so no training is needed for the iTalk to understand your voice. The company says that iTalk is "speaker independent", meaning it understands any English voice spoken in your normal voice. The new generation TimeSet voice technology is said to be applied to some home appliances such as coffeemakers and microwaves in the near future.

The iTalk will be available in June at Amazon.com, and will be available this fall at various retailers. The MSRP is $49.99.

By now, your iPhone has probably become your primary phone and MP3 player, as well as contributing by being a portable camera and photo viewer. Griffin Technologies has added one more arrow to the iPhone’s quiver with its iTalk, a voice recording tool made specifically for the iPhone. With this application, you can record sounds and voices just like Kevin McAlister on Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, only you won’t have to carry a bulky, specifically designed lump of plastic to do so. After you have the recordings, use its companion program, iTalk Sync to transfer the files to the computer, where you can share or edit them as you please. Hurry though, it's free from Griffin for a limited period of time.
