Hi Shawn,
I downloaded and installed the Voice Answer lite version from Sparkling
apps. Unfortunately, when I launch the app and tap on one of the
buttons, voice over is completely disabled. This may not have been a
problem when you were using the app. I plan to write to Sparkling apps
to ask if there is a solution. However, as yet, I haven't located the
contact info for Sparkling Apps.
I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the suggestion as it looks as though
this app has promise if I can find out how to preclude it from disabling
voice over.

Hi Donald. I know of a couple of good apps that are identical to Siri. The
first is an app by Sparkling Apps called Voice Answer. It's $2.99. It can
sometimes screw up what you say in a text message, but not as often as Vokul.
If your friend is also blind, there's an unlabeled button that you press to
make it listen to you.
Second app is called Voice Actions. I searched for it on the app store just
now, and it seems that it's no longer available. It's too bad, because it was
accessible and doesn't screw up much. As for other apps, now that I've got the
4S I don't really need another app because I have Siri. But give Voice Answer a
try. Note that the free or lite version as they call it doesn't give you access
to all features as the paid version. Good luck.

An acquaintance with an iPhone 4 wonders whether there are alternatives to Siri
which would work on her 4. I remember some persons using Vokul. However, when
I tried it, Vokul was notorious for getting incorrect numbers. A couple of
other such programs seemed to completely turn off Voice Over. So I'm llooking
for Siri alternative Suggestions.
Thanks for ideas.
