KLets - Voice control
KLets primary goal is to get the stuff done by voice, in order to allow you to use your Android™ device when you can't touch or watch it, or when it is better to not do so.
It has been built on top of Voice-Recognizer and Text-To-Speech hand-free features of Android™, and it has been designed to have near zero screen interactions, in order to be fully controlled by voice.
It is currently developed and supported in English and Italian, however, it has been designed to be easily translated to new languages, so it is also available in the following languages thanks to contributions and professional translators:
- French
- German
- Korean
- Russian
- Spanish
- Swedish
- HungarianUnsupported and incomplete translations are also available for Chinese. Check full translations list here: http://goo.gl/19On7Y
To contribute on translations or to request the access to the beta version, just check this page http://goo.gl/vRwlA .
Depending on your equipment, you can start KLets by a long press on the phisical search button, by pressing the green button on the application main screen, by pressing the button for voice calls of an Hands-Free bluetooth device (it must be compatible with your phone) and, using third part applications, by using the button of wired headphones (check the how-to at http://goo.gl/vCq1p ).
By now KLets can:
- Call a contact (with Skype support) or a phone number
- Send a message or an email to a contact
- Start playing of a song, a playlist, an album or all songs from an artist (supports only local phone media, and playlists, albums and artists media playing works only with Google Music Player, PowerAMP, Music PlayerPro and Winamp)
- Manage missed calls and unread messages
- Start the navigator to a destination or a contact with an address (using Google Navigator or Sygic)
- Stop the navigator (it works only with Google Navigator and it uses an hack, so it may not works on all phones)
- Start an application
- Add an event to the calendar
- Add a note to Evernote
- Set an alarm
- Tell you the current date and time, the battery or signal status and what you can say and how
- Execute a task defined in Tasker
- Listen for text copied into the clipboard
Additional commands are available inside a free plugin pack on play store: http://goo.gl/iPKOgj
Also, every activation phrase of every command can be customized inside KLets options, in order to meet any personal needs.
For common problems with bluetooth, license, voice recognition and everithing else, please check the FAQ here: http://goo.gl/9rqNN
Remember that KLets uses Voice Recognition technologies provided by Android phones (usually it is Google Voice Search, but alternative voice recognition engines can be used, like Vlingo), and that most engines require an internet connection (Google Voice Search requires it, but on Jelly Bean phones it can be configured to work in offline mode).
If you have any question, trouble or advice, please contact me by email or by support forum at http://goo.gl/b4wp0 , and remember to take a look at the application web site for latest news and info.
IMPORTANT: Russian users could need to install a Text-To-Speech engine for their language, because Russian phones usually miss it. Please look for it on play store with a search like this http://goo.gl/33QVj

Very nice. I use it mostly for making calls through a Bluetooth. Lots of options.
Using this on a Kyocera Hydro XTRM, works great with near 100% recognition for the first 10-15 uses, but after that, using the button in the Klets program or the button on my blueparrott headset just brings up the momentary notification "kLets is initializing, please wait". I've tried force stopping and restarting the program but that didn't help. Only thing I have found to work is restarting the phone, a pain since I use this when I am driving a semi truck. Please fix!
K-LETS is the most reliable voice dialing application in the Play Store, in fact I am happy to say it's only application of this type which seems to work reliably. And, I'm pleased to say that it works with my trusty Motorola bluetooth headset. I can make calls simply by tapping the talk button on the headset, wait for the prompt, and tell it who to call. For best results, when setting up, adjust the voice recognition function. It really works great. No need to fumble with removing the phone from the holster or unlocking the screen to access the phone just to make a call over the bluetooth.
All I wanted was the ability to push the call button on my Bluetooth earpiece and make a call or answer one. I FINALLY found the app that offers that function. THANK YOU, KLETS! I don't use voice for anything but making a call, so I can't offer info as to KLets functionality in those areas. Because of that, I only did a quick setup for calls. However, I'm thinking I saw in Settings that you can use voice 100% hands free if you have a headset, car audio, or earpiece that also allows for that functionality. Be sure to give permission to Google for microphone (I undo the permission during the time I'm not needing 'hands free' so they don't get more info than is necessary). Once, I didn't remember to give permission again and KLets gave me an error message "audio error, try again".
I tried asking this thing several questions on the list and it just doesn't understand plain English. It so outta here.
It's a great app, and I really liked it. My only issue is that it seems to have a hang up when playing albums in Google Play music, and I can't seem to sign up for the support forum. Other than that, works great and I would definitely recommend it.
Just seems to miss a phrase now and then as time goes on as the program learns my voice I'll make it 5 stars, overall this program is pretty good.
Works great om my Moto-G, but am unable to use it on my wife's Acer Liquid Z3. When attempting to use, it IMMEDIATELY says unrecognized command before she even has a chance to speak. Unfortunate as I love this program
The only thing that works hands free even with my phones lock screen on. It connects easily to all my blue tooth devices. I Love it and highly recommend this app.
It won't automatically read my text messages. Constantly confirming everything is annoying.
Not impressed. Thought you could put your own command on any screen at anytime. But i was wrong. Tried the advance option & it wouldn't stop. Still some work need to be done.
It is not able to understand the command. Very annoying app.
Using with Note 4 and Elite Sliver2 bluetooth. Makes calls with the phone locked. Not perfect tho, doesn't understand all the names that are spoken. It will do a lot more than make and receive calls.
Great app, so much better than rivals in the market. It works well and seamlessly via a bluetooth connection, making it great for driving. Highly recommended.
Developer seems to have given up on supporting this app
While this is ok, you still have to press the button I'm looking for hands free! Ill stick with my ggl now!
I'm giving it 5 stars as it's the best among the group even though I see scope of improvements
Terrible! Does not work at all on S4 with Lollipop. Cannot recognize any commands
Glad I found KLets (What does that stand for??). I had mixed results with Utter! If you're looking for a good, off-line, voice control app...then this is it. Works great for dialing my contacts and starting my music applications (iHeartRadio, TuneIn, SiriusXM).
Does exactly what you need it to. Use it with my motorcycle helmet headset and it works very well even at higher speeds.
Thank you I love this! The best for now! Genius!! Highly recommended! But please generate one that able to control all the phone actions including unlock, slide, open apps or navigate most of the buttons while the s/w is running in background! Please we need this!
Disappointed
Very good app.Can b very effective with improvement in voice commands
Very good lite app does what it says.
Makes things easy
Great app best app i have ever seen must try...
it doesn't want to work unless it's connected to WiFi... why is that ? It says server error try again
Very interesting app. courage
Superb. It helps. A lot
Looks very promising. However, when asking for signal level, it always says "no signal" even though I clearly have one. SM-G965F.
