I’ve been trying to use it on my Storm, but can’t get through Step 4 of Setup, where you test recording “search concert tickets”. I get an “unexpected server error”. I’ve tried changing all of the permissions in Options > Advanced Options > Applications > vlingo to “Allow”, but I still end up with the same error. Any other ideas? Thanks!

If you get the “could not record” error, try enabling all permissions for Vlingo in options> advanced options> applications. Just find Vlingo and click the menu button to enable permissions.

All I get with Vlingo in its setup on my Storm is “listening” for half a second and then “Can’t record. Please try again.” I’ve set it to the left side key. Any help? Thanks.

I totally love this app and have been using it and providing feedback since the beginning- 1 of the main reasons I dig it so much is because its an excellent alternative to the dangerous “text-while-driving”- they’ve also updated the app so you can open other apps and even update your Facebook Status and Twitter allllllll with the sound of your voice

I’ve gotten it to work on my Storm with all four OS’ .75, .76, .83 and .85 … you I just couldnt use the right hand side convenience key — LEFT ONLY.

Hey guys I have the storm 9530 and got it to work. I’m running the OS 4.7 which I believe is the latest version. However, when I started to setup Vlingo it asked me to download a 4.6 version update. Also during the setup wizard it had issues with detecting where my finger was but all you have to do is keep your finger on the screen and find what is being highlighted. Once you figure that out it works perfect after setup. One thing you have to be sure is set the permissions to allow pretty much everything. Hope that info helps?

I also have the storm and cannot get it to work. I used the 4.6 operating one assuming it was the newest version. I can not get it to record either. Any ideas?

I have an older blackberry 8703E with the 4.1 operating system. Vlingo software download says it will not work on my model. Can I update this or do I need new hardware?

Would you get some information on MyCaption? I’ve a BlackBerry Bold, and apparently Mycaption is the only player which offers speech-to-text on Bold.. but i’d rather have your opinion on it before i buy it (by the way i already tried out the free trial and works really well)

@Peter,

That’s a really good question. I know they did the white-label development for Yahoo! OneSearch (http://www.blackberrycool.com/2008/08/yahoo-onesearch-released-to-canada-and-phillipines/), so I would think they’re trying to promote their service as much as possible to get carriers interested.

What is Vlingo’s business model? You don’t run an app that records and transcribes your voice on a remote server without having some sort of future business model attached.
