Voice-enabled virtual assistant app for mobile devices, allowing users to interact with their phone using natural speech and perform tasks like sending messages, getting directions, making calls, and more through simple voice commands.
Vlingo is a virtual personal assistant application that uses speech recognition technology to allow users to interact with their mobile devices hands-free using natural language voice commands. Originally launched in 2008, Vlingo was one of the early leaders in the voice assistant space before the emergence of Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant.
The Vlingo app is available on platforms like iOS and Android and does not require an internet connection to operate.

While early versions received mixed reviews, more recent updates to Vlingo have focused on improving features like speech recognition accuracy and expanding supported voice commands. Its hands-free access and close integration with the mobile OS can appeal to users looking for robust voice assistant capabilities without an ongoing internet connection.
