## What is VoiceShutter?

Voice Shutter is an easy-to-use camera application created with universal design in mind.

This application features

- Large, easily visible shutter button
- Hands-free picture taking using voice recognition technology

Have you ever had someone press the home button by mistake when you asked them to take a picture? By featuring a large shutter button, even children and elderly people who have never touched and iPhone (iPad) will be able to easily take a picture. When you hold the device on it’s side, a shutter button will appear on either sides making it easy to use for both right-handed and left-handed people.

This application uses the voice recognition engine AmiVoice that allows you to take pictures without using your hands.
Please clearly speak the word “cheese” on the screen  when you start the application. When recognition is successful, the shutter will be released.
You can change the voice signal in the settings.

This camera application is just as easy to use as the default camera application, but with added features. It runs just like the default camera application.

●Hands-free shutter using voice recognition technology
Comes in handy when…
- Taking a picture of yourself. This application allows you to take pictures of yourself that were otherwise impossible.
- Taking a group picture from a distance.
- You want to avoid camera shake. Just place the iPhone on a firm footing and take a picture using your voice.
- Taking a picture of your pet. Use the voice signal to catch your pet’s attention.

How to use your voice to take pictures
- There is a learning curve when using voice recognition. Practice will make perfect.
- Speak loud and clearly. Voice recognition begins when the red gauge in the middle turns to green.
- The application may fail to recognize your voice when using in a noisy environment (an issue we intend to improve in the future).
- Although the application is made to be usable in any environment, it is better used in a quiet place.
- Please cut it some slack even if it doesn’t recognize your voice LOL. There is a large, easy-to-press shutter button that you could use instead.

[When Using This Application]
This application requires access to your Photos function. It will request access to your Photos function when taking a picture with this application for the first time. If you press “deny” by mistake at this point, allow Voice Shutter access by selecting ON for Voice Shutter in “Settings > Privacy > Photos”.

[Other Functions]
- Grid display (9 sections)
- Focus & lighting settings (same as default application)
- Location Service to add location info
- Sharing pictures
- Camera shake prevention

*This application uses Advanced Media Inc.’s voice recognition technology AmiVoice.

## Key features

- Large, visible shutter button

### 1/5 — マイクを設定出来ない

*2026-04-28*

設定のマイクで許可しろと出るのにマイクの中にアプリがないから使えません。

**Developer response:** だいぶ前のバージョンからのアップデートだとそれが出る可能性があります。アプリを一度長押ししてアンインストール後に起動してください。最初の画面でカメラとマイクとアルバムへのアクセスを元メラっるのですべて許可してから使用を開始してください。

### 5/5 — アップデートしたら起動しなくなりました😞

*2025-05-17*

アップデートしたら起動しなくなりました😞

### 1/5 — 削除、再インストールで使える様にはなった

*2023-11-06*

最近のOSのアップデート後、アプリを開くとプライバシーでマイクで声シャッターの録音を許可してくださいと表示されるが、設定内にその様な項目はなく、マイク内にも本アプリは表示されません。改善をお願い。 追記。製作者から返信があったが、元々インストールしていてアップデートがあるだけなら、カメラやマイクなどのアクセス許可の表示などされない。その様な表示がされれば撮影に必要な項目ならもちろん許可はする。アンイストールして再インストールしたら、許可項目が出てきて普通に反応する様になった。 ちゃんと理解して使えというよう読み取れる返信が気分悪い。

**Developer response:** 再インストールで使えるようになったのであればよかったです。それまで普通に使えていてiOSのバージョンアップでこの現象が起きたのであればなにか問題があったのかもしれませんね（こちらでは問題なく使えていました）。アプリのバージョンアップを久々にやったとかでも起きそうな不具合ですので、そちらの環境はわかりませんが、引き続きご利用ください。不愉快な気分にさせるような書き方をしてしまってすみませんでした。

### 3/5 — 写真

*2023-10-04*

綺麗に撮って欲しいけどフィルターないから加工もう一度すると手間だしあまり使えない。

### 5/5 — これほど便利なアプリはない❣️

*2022-12-24*

「いいとも」にした　（笑）

### 4/5 — 音声認識を使った便利なカメラアプリ

*2022-11-05*

スマホを使って自撮りするとき、特に横向きにしたときにシャッターボタンが押しづらいんですよね。その不便なところを解消してくれる便利なカメラアプリです。

指パッチンで似たような機能のアプリもありますが、指パッチンが下手な人もいるし、指が雨で揺れていると指が鳴らないとかあるので、声で認識させる方が使い勝手は良いと思う。両方使えればベストではあるけど。

このアプリに一つ注文を付けるとしたら、もう少し画角を広げて欲しい点。
画角が狭いので、風景をバックに自撮りするときに後ろの風景が隠れてしまいやすい。2、3人で自撮りすると、全員を入れるのに苦労するし、当然に背景は写らない笑

**Developer response:** 大変長らくお待たせいたしました。ver.7で対応いたしました！

### 4/5 — iPhone再起動

*2021-08-11*

OSをアップデートすると声に反応しなくなりますが、アプリの再インストールとiPhoneの再起動で反応するようになりました。
作業しながらの撮影とか保持角度で手が使えない時に便利です。

### 1/5 — アスペクト比が違う

*2019-09-23*

XS Max使用時に撮影画面と写真のアスペクト比が異なり、横向きの場合写真の上下に撮影画面では見えない部分が写ってしまい使いづらい。
標準カメラと同じく撮影画面も4:3にして欲しい。
解像度の変更もできない。

**Developer response:** 大変長らくお待たせいたしました。ver.7で対応いたしました！

### 1/5 — アンドロイド版

*2019-02-01*

アンドロイド版の方も有料で購入したのですが(複数声)配信停止になっています。配信してください。

### 3/5 — 便利ですが・・

*2018-02-02*

起動時にインカメラをデフォルトにする設定が欲しい。アプリを再起動するたびにアウトカメラになるので一手間かかるし、自撮り棒でsiriからの呼び出しで声だけで写真が撮れない。

**Developer response:** 大変長らくお待たせいたしました。ver.7で対応いたしました！
