![Check in on Foursquare Using Your Voice [APPS]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/00ec6ELV58FKvb7l2DcIkSg/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647018974.jpg)
With the new app, Android users can speak a simple "check in to [insert place name]" command after tapping the home screen button. The command will prompt Vlingo to automatically pull up the location in question, and other nearby venues, on Foursquare, providing users with a fast alternative to touch-based Foursquare checkins.
Vlingo's voice-activated Foursquare integration not only includes support for checkins, but also lets users post voice shouts and ask Vlingo, "Where are my friends?," or "Who's nearby?" to pull up a list of Foursquare friends who have checked in recently.
Vlingo for Android also supports voice-activated, speech-to-text status updates for Facebook and Twitter.
Unfortunately for those of us with iPhone and BlackBerry devices, our Android-toting friends have the advantage here, but hopefully not for long. Vlingo promises voice checkins for these devices in future releases.
