I'm looking for a program that can take picture with voice command whenever I say "take a picture" (or some similar command) on Android. Free is better.
I am aware of the Google Now application for Android, which can launch the camera application through a voice command but it's a bit tedious to have to 1) launch Google Now 2) click on the camera application's button to take a picture.
Whenever it comes to automation, the first thing I consider is checking Tasker – which is the automation app for Android. And allright, it supports this.
A little background in case you've never heard of this app (which I doubt): Tasker uses "profiles", which consist of two parts: Conditions, and Tasks. So you define tasks to be processed whenever a certain condition matches. Your action can be found in the Tasker UserGuide and is named "Take Photo". Your condition should be a voice command. While Tasker has support for that built-in, you'd get much more flexibility using the AutoVoice addon, which also offers a "continuous" mode (aka "Always Listen") if you wish. So some example profiles (pseudo-code, just the raw idea – you will need to finetune them):
This profile you need to setup only once, and then use it with many defined voice commands, like taking a photo:
Tasker profiles view, AutoVoice in action (source: Google Play; click images for larger variants)
I recommend you taking a look in my Collection of Tasker Resources where you can also find several tutorials which help you get started with Tasker in general, and also specifically AutoVoice.
