Daily Partner

Voice recognition software is getting more advanced year after year, and mobile devices already make extensive use of this technology. When it comes to desktop computers, however, few applications allow you to take advantage of a microphone to speed up various tasks.

Daily Partner is a handy program that enables you to execute certain commands with your voice alone, such as opening a web browser or visiting a web page, and it includes several useful tools that can also be launched in this manner.

There is no denying that many tasks can be completed more quickly if you have a way to bring up the tools you need instantly, and this is where Daily Partner can help you out.

Once you have launched the application and created an account, it begins monitoring your recording device and checks for recognized commands. If one is detected, the relevant application or component is launched.

For the most part, Daily Partner did a good job of recognizing voice commands during our tests. Of course, you should use a high-quality microphone to ensure things go smoothly.

Daily Partner can help you launch various web browsers, search for recent news or weather information on the Internet, as well as hide or close the application.

However, it also comes with a number of other built-in components, such as a music player, agenda, appointment calendar and alarm clock. Sadly, while certainly useful, these utilities are very basic, as they offer no advanced features.

Also, it would be great if it were possible to execute the supported commands manually, in case your recording device is damaged or you are unable to use if for whatever reason.

As you would expect, Daily Partner features a minimalistic interface, which is to be expected when dealing with a program that relies on voice input. However, while you can minimize the application, it is not possible to send it to the system tray.

On the whole, Daily Partner is a promising utility that can help you execute various actions with the use of voice commands. So far, things look good, but the application needs to be improved in many respects before it can be relied upon on a day-to-day basis.
