Applied test: programs with artificial intelligence
Below we present a test of five smartphone applications that use artificial intelligence.
Beagle
Like the Google voice search service, you can also give commands to the Hound app by talking to your smartphone or tablet, and the program will return the results we expect. The application is activated without using a finger or touching the screen. Just say "OK Hound" and the program and the AI behind it are ready.
Hound offers a wide range of features. This allows you, for example, to select and listen to your favorite music or watch videos presented in a SoundHound playlist. In addition, with the application we can set a timer and a set of notifications.
The user through Hound can ask about the weather or its forecast for the coming days. He can also ask the program to help him find the nearest and best restaurants, cinemas and movie shows, he can also, for example, order an Uber or perform the necessary calculations.

ELSA
This app is advertised as an English accent corrector. ELSA (English Language Speech Assistant) offers professional pronunciation training with a series of exercises and access to learning materials based on artificial intelligence.
If the user wants to know the correct pronunciation of a particular word, he simply types it and repeats after the synthesizer. Pronunciation judges not by itself based on comparison with the sound being played, but by an algorithm that points out mistakes made and suggests what needs to be corrected.
The program even instructs you to move your tongue and lips to correct the spoken words. It tracks the user's progress and evaluates the quality and level of pronunciation. The app is free on the Play Store and iTunes.

Robin
The Robin app is a mobile personal assistant powered by artificial intelligence. It records your dictations, provides Hound-like local information, and tells jokes and navigates with GPS.
With this application, you can find a parking spot, get the traffic information you need, search for the weather forecast, or get notifications on what's happening on Twitter. Through the program, we can even call a specific person without dialing a number and without looking for him in the contact list - the application does this for the user.
Robin will also take care of your entertainment. Just ask to play your favorite playlist. You can also ask about what's going on by providing a topic category such as sports, national and international news, health, science, business, or technology.

Otter voice memos
4. Otter Voice Memos
The app's maker, Otter, praises it, saying it constantly learns from usage and conversations, can recognize people by voice, and quickly displays searched topics after saying keywords. The application is free. In the "pro" version, you can get new features, mainly related to the large scale of operations.
Otter is a tool that can be useful especially for business people. It records the progress of meetings and makes notes on them on an ongoing basis - in addition, it allows us to share reports with teammates using the same tool. We also invite them to edit and comment on the entries made.
Thanks to the application, we will record and automatically receive transcripts of conversations, lectures, podcasts, videos, webinars and presentations. You can also create keyword clouds for transcribed content. This allows you to classify and organize the collected and general materials. Texts can be exported to PDF, TXT or SRT formats, sounds to aac, m4a, mp3, wav, wma, and videos to avi, mov, mp4, mpg, wmv.

Deep Artistic Effects - AI Photo & Art Filter

Appka offers more than forty filters in the style of famous artists and provides an impressive level of data protection. It's free, but there's also a premium version that removes ads and watermarks and offers higher resolution images.
