We first told you about StartTalking back in October, where its primary focus was as a completely hands-free app for texting.  You can use your voice to start and compose text messages and the app can read incoming messages to you.  The latest version adds improved voice recognition in noisy environments, as well as more voice commands to control your Android phone.

StartTalking now has the ability to initiate voice dialing, voice navigation, and post to Twitter & Facebook.  Another fun feature is the ability to name your phone, and change the greeting it responds with.  So instead of saying “start talking” and hearing “yes” as your reply – you can change it so you say “Nexus One” and have your phone reply, “Yes Master Steve”.  Pretty cool stuff.

StartTalking is free for Android devices running version 2.1 and higher.  Grab it from their site here, or grab it from the market link on your phone or QR code below.
