Well, I think the voice recognition will be very handy while I'm driving, as can use for navigation and then still answer calls and read my texts.
I was wondering - what i the purpose of "double tap" as it only seems to work if you are actually in the voice talk app - in which case its just as easy to say hi galaxy. Or is there a way you can get it so double tap always works?
Also can you have voice talk running in the background so it always waits for you to say "hi galaxy", or does it need to be the foreground application to run. Expanding on this say I use voice to get navigation THROUGH voice talk, can I still use voice talk?
Sorry so many questions .. thanks though
(p.s. only just got it and trynna get to see how i can use it.)
Also finally - in messages how do you do a full stop/comma etc?
EDIT: Just tried to use voice talk from navigation (after opening from voice talk) and doesn't pay attention for hi galaxy - is there any way i can make it still search as would be VERY handy
assuming no way?
Hello,
I'm not doing well with the integrated voice dialer. It is nice that it is free but not very accurate ( have about 400 contacts and often it just tries to dial stuff on in my contacts). I also get frustrated it dials the wrong number without verification that it has the right number.
The MS command was very accurate. It might seem crazy but if that is made by a third party, do they make a droid version? I'm very new to android so I appreciate the info.
Try Vlingo. I find that it is generally more accurate than the free google voice recognition.

+1 for vlingo. I feel the same way about MS Voice Command, in comparison to the stock voice search on android.
Thanks - I just tried VLINGO - maybe I don't have it set up properly. I want something just MS Voice command where I press the button on my headset and it I say "call john doe at mobile" and it properly selects the name from my contacts and then says "call john doe on mobile" and I say yes and it dials.
VLINGO kept on coming up with on screen prompts. I don't want to look at my phone while I'm driving.

The first time you trigger it (by holding the search button), it will ask you some crap. Just go through that once, and it won't do it again. Next time you hit it, it will just pop up a screen that says "Listening..." At that point just say, "Call homer simpson mobile" and it will do so. It has been remarkably accurate for me. And you can even have it do other things than dial (send text to..., etc.).
Overall, I like it about as well as MS voice command, and it does more.
Also, no need to hit "go" when you're done speaking. Just wait a second and it will figure it out. The less interaction with the screen, the better, in my opinion.
Thanks - I think my mistake was setting it for vlingo inCar. I still could use your help a bit further. I don't know how to have it give me a verbal confirmation vs. on screen. I also don't know how to have it search my contacts and not the web/yellow pages. When I'm calling via BT, I know who I want to call.

I haven't used it, but here is how you setup verbal confirmations: open the app, click menu, settings, click advanced, and check "text to speech (beta)."
I've never had mine search the web. Are you using "Call..." or just saying the person's name? Try saying "call peter griffin at home" instead of just "peter griffin" and see if that works better for you. There must be a setting to disable that, because I've never had it search the web when I was trying to dial someone. However, I don't use it with bluetooth very often.

It's doing the same thing for me when I try to call a contact, if I don't say @ mobile or @ work. If I say @ mobile or @ work then it works pretty good. The deal breaker for me is that while using it if I hit the call/end button on my bluetooth it just shuts off the bluetooth earpiece and doesn't hang up the call like the standard dialer does.
Hi All,
I am looking for a way to get around using Voicemail from my carrier.
Firstly, here we pay for the service as well as retrieval of voice messages.
It would be good if i could get tasker to answer a call, play a voice recording or media to the call stream, and then record the response.
Once that part is done then i can do whatever i want witht he recording.
Also, I am not in the US, so i cant use Google Voice.

I second this. I want it for a little bit of a different reason though. I want it to take the voicemail and search it for my emergency word. If it discovers it I want it to set off my emergency profile. If not then save the voicemail and let me hear it later or view a text version of it.
Me too! Would love to be able to do this.
Hey all,
This is sort of a request/question, so bear with me.
I would like to be able to use my galaxy gear to start Google Now on my phone.
It has the option to choose any installed program to run when I double click the button on the watch. I would like a small program that sends a small command over BT to start Google Now listening. I'm guessing it's possible because in my car, I can press voice dial and it starts Google Now, so the command is out there.
I just wondered if I can side load an app to my watch to replicate this behaviour?
Thanks!
The only thing I like about S-voice is the app voice command function. I like being able to turn off or snooze my alarm and especially shoot a picture by voice command. Unfortunately all this stopped working for me some weeks ago. I did some searching and found that some users got it back by disabling Google Music Play but this did not work for me.
Is anyone else having this problem and has anyone found a fix?
Thanks
