Talking Carl

I bought this app… 15 years ago? 16 years ago? Mostly to annoy then girlfriend. It was a silly app meant to entertain kids not 20 somethings. Anyhow, it’s back… a little glitchy. I always wonder if the original developers are around or if this was bought up as some hopes of hoovering up data. I randomly installed it to just show a friend and it’s still receiving updates. I can’t imagine simple apps like this sell anymore but hey, cool that it’s still here,

I love this game! you can feed him, hurt him, change him, play the trumpet, and record videos in the app! this is so cool. I recommend it for sure, but this game costs 0.99 so you will have to pay a dollar. If you have kids or you’re just a simple type, I also recommend talking gugl & it’s free! If you’re waiting on talking carla, yea. it’s never coming out… anyways, yea this was actually the first “talking” apps ever. this funny red square is older than talking tom! can you believe it? anyways, I know this is too long but I gotta say, the talking carl & gugl series is very cool! alr I gotta go. bye! -Alejandro Perez

I don’t remember when I first installed Talking Carl, (maybe iPhone 4 or 5) but have enjoyed his presence since day one. I worked with people with disabilities at the time, some used voice recognition software so I was familiar with the processes and the mistakes frequently encountered when setting up a voice file. But Carl is very different, not only is he very accurate in recognition, his cute personality changes the whole aspect of the app. And I am grateful to whoever designed his voice!! Thank you!! He ALWAYS manages to elicit a smile from me. There was a period when work was difficult and I frequently found it depressing and hopeless UNTIL I pulled out my phone one day as I left my office area and opened Talking Carl. I had the volume at max and proceeded to hold a conversation with him as I walked outside among other people hurrying on their way somewhere. At first I didn’t look up but the longer I talked and got Carl’s response the more curious I became: did other people hear? How were they reacting? I gradually looked around and there were quite a few people who ‘eavesdropped’ on our conversation; some stopped in their steps to listen as there was no person present. Most people smiled or laughed out loud. Carl was not only comic relief, he was like a secret pal, a broadcaster of whatever things I would normally not say out loud or in public. He was just what I needed to engage a feeling of control, a chance to channel my thoughts to more positive subjects and maybe lighten someone else’s day, too. Thanks for developing Carl and I highly recommend installing and enjoying the app!!🖖
