VOICE CONTROL THAT ADAPTS TO YOU Voice Camera Now is a hands-free photo and video camera built around an assignable voice-control layer—not just a standard camera with one shutter phrase. MY WORDS Teach it any distinctive one-word command—for example, “fish”—and map it to any of 18 actions. Your word can take a photo, shoot a burst, start or stop video, cycle a timer, switch cameras, control flash or grid, change zoom, refocus, open Photos, or launch Speed Shoot. SPEED SHOOT Say “speed” or your own mapped word to begin a guided five-pose session. The app speaks randomized pose prompts, captures each shot automatically, and creates a labeled collage ready to share. FULL HANDS-FREE CAMERA CONTROL • Take photos and bursts • Start and stop video recording • Cycle Off, 3-second, and 5-second timers • Switch between front and rear cameras • Control flash, grid overlays, focus, and zoom • Open the Photos library • Launch with “Hey Siri, Voice Camera Now” BUILT FOR REAL HANDS-BUSY USE • 4:3 and 16:9 framing • Night and tripod-friendly Night+ capture modes • Clean Preview hides controls while voice capture keeps listening • Independent front-camera photo and video mirroring so text stays readable • Golden Spiral and grid composition overlays • Ultra-wide, wide, and telephoto lens support where available Useful for solo fishing, group photos, cooking, workouts, accessibility, creators, and any shot where touching the phone would ruin the moment.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Cheez holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cheez has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Cheez's written reviews are positive against 80% of Voice Camera Now's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Cheez ships an update every 4 days, Voice Camera Now every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
