Vlingo today announced that their voice recognition app for Android phones now integrates with foursquare. Users can check in, find their friends and shout just by using their voice.

Vlingo understands the following commands:

• Check in  to locations
  • Check in Hong Kong Express
  • Check into Logan Airport
• Locate friends
  • Where are my friends?
  • Who’s nearby
• Send shout outs
  • Shout headed to Fenway for the Sox game
  • foursquare shout at Starbucks grabbing a latte

You can also shout to foursquare while simultaneously updating your Facebook and Twitter statuses by saying “update social status.”

“Location and social networking have become an integral part of consumers’ everyday lives—so having a strategic alliance with foursquare to provide users with a simple, easy way to connect with their friends is a natural fit for Vlingo,” said Hadley Harris, VP of Marketing at Vlingo.

Do you think Vlingo’s foursquare integration will make it easier to check in?
