We all know that it’s tough to find a contact when you’re doing something like driving or some other activity, but you know what’s even harder? Trying to find a contact while you’re driving in France.

Though there are a bunch of voice-dialing applications on the App Store, Creaceed’s release, Vocalia, is the first one to recognize French being spoken.

The latest version of Vocalia (1.2) adds support for French among other features. Vocalia works pretty simply: just speak the name of the contact you want to dial, and it’ll try to match it to your address book all without having to rely on even having a network connection at all. You can even define vocal shortcuts for contacts, so that you can say “Mom” or “Le Steve” for when you need to ring up Steve Jobs to compliment (or complain about) the iPhone. And if it doesn’t give you the results you want, just give it a shake and you can try again.

Vocalia, complete with support for French, is available on the App Store for download now, where it’s priced at a special discount rate of $4 until November 24th (at which point, it reverts back to its normal cost of $8). It requires an iPhone with the latest 2.1 firmware update.
