What is VoCal and what is it used for?

VoCal is a new way of organising your life. Traditionally people have been used to typing calendar entries into their phones and setting an alert. What VoCal does is enable you to use a dictaphone type voice recorder with an alert calendar mixed into one. It has been specially made with a simple and speedy interface to be used quickly during everyday life.

Why is VoCal no longer available for first generation phones?

First Generation iPhones cannot run iOS 4 and can no longer support the features that VoCal now uses although existing users will still be able to continue using their older version of VoCal for quite some time yet.

I brought VoCal with a lifetime subscription on my first generation iPhone... now what do I do?

Continue to use it. We will try to keep our servers operational for 1st generation users for at least 6 months. After that you will need to upgrade.

How does VoCal work on the new iOS 4?

Much the same way it used to work on iOS 3 however it does not need to rely on an internet connection anymore to receive reminders. This makes it much more reliable in areas of weak or no signal.

What makes VoCal better than these voice recognition apps that can do the same job?

There are many reasons why VoCal is better. Two of things that we would like to point out is accuracy and privacy. Voice recognition software is still some way off from working well with different accents and languages, because of this other companies are using people to help decipher messages. This means that your message is getting sent to a third party server and around the internet.

VoCal keeps all the recordings stored privately on the iPhone and does not send any content up to our servers.

Also as we do not require usernames and passwords, all the data is anonymous. There is no way we can tell who you are and you can safely keep all your private messages private :)
