Voice Shortcut - Voice Control

Voice Shortcut lets you control your phone just by talking. Say "Open WhatsApp" to open an app, "Call Mom" to bring up the dialer, or have a saved phrase read aloud for you. It answers by voice and on screen, and asks "yes / no" before calls. Made for busy hands and anyone who finds small text or touch screens hard to use.

MAIN FEATURES

■ Open apps by voice
Finds the app even if you say its name a little differently. If nothing matches, it offers the three closest apps and remembers your pick as a nickname. You can even open YouTube by just saying "YouTube".

■ Speak for you
Save phrases you use often, like "Could I have some water?", and tap one or say "Read …" to hear it. Categories, favorites, unlimited phrases and ready-made ones. Type any text to read it on the spot. "Show large" fills the screen, and "Flip" turns it for the person facing you.

■ Calls and messages
"Call …" opens the dialer with the number filled in for a contact saved in a shortcut (picked without contacts permission). Optionally search your contacts or call directly. Message shortcuts open a ready draft to check before sending.

■ Confirm first, undo in time
Risky actions are read back and confirmed with "yes / no" by voice or button (risky only, all, or none). Add a short delay with a Cancel button. It tells you what it does, e.g. "Opening WhatsApp".

■ Everyday commands
Time, date, battery, flashlight, volume, play/pause, next or previous track, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth panels, "3 minute timer", directions, web search, "Say that again", "Read my clipboard" and "What can I say".

■ Your own shortcuts
Link any phrase to an app, spoken text, a call, a message, a web page, directions, a search, a timer or device control. Several phrases each, unlimited shortcuts.

■ Many ways to start
The big mic, a Quick Settings tile, a mic widget, a home screen icon, a notification button, the icon's long-press menu, the assistant gesture or a headset button. Typing works too.

■ Fine-tune and safety
Pick the listening language and match tolerance, listen offline on supported phones, set speech rate and pitch, and switch off commands that trigger by mistake. Includes a status check, a practice mode, on-device history (last 50), export/import and large text.

PREMIUM
• Wake word: say "Hey Shortcut" to talk without touching the mic, or add a command right after it. The wake word can be changed. It listens only while the screen is on and unlocked, stops after a set idle time, and can be limited to charging.
• Device control: back, home, recent apps, notifications, quick settings, lock screen, screenshot and power menu by voice.
• Routines: several actions from one phrase, with waits in between.
• Floating mic button on any screen.
• Home screen icons for shortcuts and a four-button widget.
• Choice of speaking voice, and a volume boost while a phrase is read.
• Color themes.

PRICING
The core features are free, with no limits on shortcuts, phrases or use. Premium is a one-time purchase, yours for good. It is not a subscription.

VOICE AND PRIVACY
Your voice goes only to your phone's speech recognition (such as Google's). This app does not record, store or send it. History, shortcuts and phrases stay on your device.

USE OF THE AccessibilityService API
This app uses the AccessibilityService API to provide the Premium "Device control" feature.
• Voice device control: used only to perform the device control actions listed above (back, home, lock screen, screenshot and so on) when you say a command such as "Go back".
• This app never collects personal information or reads screen content through this permission. It receives no screen events.
• This feature requires your explicit permission. Every other feature works without it.

OTHER PERMISSIONS
• Microphone: to hear you.
• Display over other apps: for the floating mic and the wake word.
• Contacts and phone: only for contact search or direct calling.
