"Much more than a simple alarm clock"

Reviewed by: Emmanuel Lund / Jan 17, 2012

WakeVoice is an alarm clock with added-value guaranteed by a pack of interesting features

This is the paid version of WakeVoice which has no restrictions on ring-times (+10) and alarms.

Yes, the mission of an alarm clock is wake us up. However, the way how they do it matters. WakeVoice has come with extra-features to help you out with the difficult issue of waking up every morning and get sharp to work.
Besides the classic alarm clock features: list a personalized alarm, daily, weekly, meeting advices, alarm tones, snooze, delay and repetition, WakeVoice wanted to offer some interesting added-value features.

First off, regarding voice. It supports both, voice recognition and Speech-to-Text (TTS). Voice recognition allows you to record your own voice as a way to stop the alarm, snooze or postpone. Speech-to-Text allows the app to read some info that you will get every morning if you set it.

That info can be the horoscope, news (even RSS imported), google calendar or even your city weather. This way, you can wake up in the right way, knowing what happened while you were sleeping or guessing what's expected to happen. You can even choose the language you want this info to be displayed.

What's more, you can set lot of performance details: phone buttons behaviour, set dock mode or night mode as screensaver, set volumes, repetition time... among others.

The interface is sober but attractive. Sincerely, one of the best alarm clocks we've reviewed so far regarding features and customization. Sleepers, it's time to wake up.

Summary:
Much more than a simple alarm clock, WakeVoice lets you interact with your phone using your voice:
- Talk to it with custom commands to stop the alarm or activate the snooze option
- Listen to your phone telling you about the weather, news of your choice or a personalized message while staying warm in your bed
_____________________________

Details:
Waking up is not an easy thing for you? You have never found the alarm clock you needed?
Why not try WakeVoice!

WakeVoice can overcome the negative aspect associated to regular alarm clocks, making your morning funnier and less difficult.

The idea is simple: when the alarm rings, you just have to talk to WakeVoice to stop the alarm or activate the reminder.

But that's not all!
Once the ringing stopped, it's your phone's turn to talk to you.
Customizable messages, weather of the day, news of your choice (RSS)... choose what you want to hear.

Add to that all the settings imaginable on a clock (programming various alarms over several days, setting names, volume, times...) and you get WakeVoice, the most innovative alarm clock that you can find on the Android market.

So now, with WakeVoice, you won't be angry anymore when you'll be waking up :)

    Just ok. Needs to give highs and lows and weather forecast. The current temperature and weather is less helpful for planning your day.

    What a wonderful way to awaken, your app and my Nexus 7.

    On my Motorola XT557, it seems that the voice recognition doesn't seem to work half of the time or when I try to end an alarm it keeps going. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right, but whatever is going on with it.. it's kind of annoying to deal with.

    The voice command only works once when you snooze. After the alarm goes off again voice command never reactivates.

    This alarm is pretty awesome. There's only a few things missing. One is there's no names for alarms and the other is you can't have different snooze times. I like to snooze longer on my days off.

    This app is a "one of a kind", it's unique and the only app that lets you turn off the alarm clock sound by using your voice! - no more having to get out of bed or reaching far for your phone to do it. Such a fantastic idea and this app turned out great,

    I will change to 5 stars when radio glitch is fixed. On my Motorola Electrify it will not stream radio after the alarm, on any preset stations, even with wifi on. Otherwise its a great app.
