JARVIS for Android OS

[Tony Stark]

Hi everyone, I found a cool app that is supposed to be like Iron Man's AI JARVIS on the Android Phone OS. The app is similar to the iPhone's Siri, so you can brag that JARVIS just one-upped her. Here's how it works:

The app is called Cyman. Here's their website: http://www.cymansystem.com/Cyman.html

You can download it (it's free) from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cyman.android, or search for it on the Google Play Store.

The app works great on its own, but if you really want it to be JARVIS, just click the arc reactor button and say "Change your name to JARVIS"

He'll say something to accept; if not, try speaking more slowly and clearly. One thing to notice is his voice. It may sound strange or even female. The voice is entirely dependent on your settings in your phone. I'll show you how you can give him a voice that sounds almost like Paul Bettany's, but it costs a few dollars.

You have to download two apps. First is SVOX Text to Speech Engine, which is free. Download it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.svox.classic

Then, you open the SVOX app and you have to buy the UK Oliver voice, which costs $2.99.

Once you have both apps, you will configure the voice options. Go to the Android settings menu. Click on Voice Input & Output. Select Text-to-speech settings.

Scroll down to the Engines category and make sure that SVOX Classic TTS has a checkmark next to it. Then click on the SVOX Classic TTS settings.

Change SVOX TTS Pitch to something between 145% and 150%.

Go back to the Text-to-speech settings. Change Speech rate to slow, and set Default Engine to SVOX Classic TTS. Make sure Language is set to English (United Kingdom).

Now go back to the Cyman app and start using it. It should sound a lot like JARVIS.
