Super Bowl Sunday is coming up, and with it the house parties and merry-making that marks the end of the football season. Generally, there tends to be two types of Super Bowl Sunday partakers.

Pete uses Vlingo to Save Tasks and Events to Springpad with just his voice!
Pete recently got in touch with us to share a cool tip – In conjunction with Vlingo, he is able to save tasks and events directly to Springpad using only his voice through Springpad’s email in feature. Pretty cool!
Pete has been using Springpad for more than a year and a half. He uses the Springpad Chrome app, Chrome extension and the mobile apps for multiple devices. Pete also shares one account with his wife and his son to help organize household activities.
(Note: more sophisticated collaboration features are on their way!)
I absolutely love all the options in Springpad. I use it for all of my tasks, appointments, notes, reminders, and all my personal management items. All my events automatically sync to my Google calendar. With Vlingo, I am now able to insert tasks and events using only my voice and have them automatically go into Springpad as an actual task and event. Very cool. Now I can add tasks and events even while driving.
Here’s how to set it up:
- Find your personal Springpad email address – Log in at Springpad.com, then go to Settings > Services.
- In your mobile phone’s address book, add a contact called “Springpad” with your personal email address as the email.
- Download the Vlingo app for your mobile device. (available for iOS, Android, Blackberry, and more!)
- Try it out for yourself!
Note: Vlingo for iPhone works best for sending emails to Springpad because you can use colons in the subject. This allows you to specify a Type like Event or Task instead of creating a regular Note. You can still use Vlingo for Android but the language models are slightly different and don’t recognize “colon” like the iPhone app does.
Some examples of things you can say to Vlingo for iPhone:
- Create a task: “email springpad, subject, task colon mow lawn”
- Create an event for a specific date: “email springpad, subject, event colon meeting with principal, message, November 2nd”
- Create a note (specifying a subject line is optional): “email springpad, subject, exercise log, message, ran three miles today in 23 minutes” or “email springpad, ran three miles today in 23 minutes”
Examples of what you can say to Vlingo for Android:
- Create a note : “email springpad, ran three miles today in 23 minutes”
- Create a note: “email springpad, subject February 14th, message It was a great day, I got flowers delivered to me at work”
It can take a couple of tries to get it right but once Vlingo learns a bit more about your speech pattern, you’ll be sending emails into Springpad via Vlingo in no time! Give it try and let us know if there are any other apps you use alongside with Springpad to make it even easier to save your stuff.
