I have setting up as English(us), whatever I say, the result always is "mmm"
I have try recording voice at Webos, it is OK, but not working at android !
Have you tried voice search on another device? Reason I ask is last year I had issues with voice search returning jibberish when I used it, problem was with the voice data they collected getting screwed up online. If voice search fails on another device that's most likely the cause. You can clear the data in your Google account.
i think i might have misunderstood you. I use the actual google voice app for texting and I can search fine. there is another app call Voice Search which is completely different.
In any case, Voice Search app does not recognize that I say.

Good to hear that I am not alone !
have you try using "Sound Recorder" app from Alpha 3, It is not working for me as well, the sound record got abnormal playback. the sound record only work on WebOS ! Sad.....
Google voice search from the market does not work for me either, but.... the mic button on smart keyboard pro does work. It works pretty good, especially if you talk directly into the top of the touchpad where the mic is. Just thought I'd let you guys know. FWIW the voice recording app ALSO works for me. it sounds a bit muffled, but it does record and playback legibly.

I would recommend Google Voice. That is what I use and have used for quite some time.
+1 for google voice

Same here +1 google voice. You can create a "voice mail only" account and not worry about available numbers.
Youmail Old version works well for me.
+10000000 for Google Voice... plus you can entertain friends with the transcriptions.

If you don't want GVoice or the other mentioned app, AT&T released "AT&T Messages" to cover visual voicemail. Search for it in the marketplace.
I would not use the at&t messages app because it is extremely slow and had major lag issues on the thrill I had. The idea is ok but the follow through is poor.
Add my recommendation to the list lol.
Google Voice
Followed the recommendations and Google voice wins by far.
The only thing is how do you set up a custom message for missed calls?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
you have to log in thru the google voice website and set it up thru there
Another Google Voice recommendation. 9 times out of 10 you just read the transcript and that's it, no need to even listen to the voicemail. Works great, and you can even get voice mail audio and transcripts emailed to you, so even if your phone is off or you left it at home, as long as you can check emails you won't miss any messages.
how do you set up google voice to work with AT&T? I thought you couldn't set it up on AT&T and always select "skip" when I get to voicemail set up..

Nope, use the automatic setup in the GV app - worked fine on my Aria a year and a half ago, worked on my SGS2 a couple days ago, but had to enable, switch back to att voicemail in the calls menu, then switch back to GV immediately. Not sure why it took 2 trys to take on the sgs2.

Mine took the first time. Restored the app with data via titanium and enabled it in the settings and it has worked perfectly.

Lol, it doesn't even translate standard English that well.
Yep, google voice is the winner in my book as well. Even though the transcriptions are horribly mangled sometimes, you can usually get the gist of things pretty easily.
I wonder if I missing the obvious but is there a voice recorder on my Razr? If so please let me know. I've tried a few voice recorder apps from the market and they do not work...just get a pounding noise on playback.
I hope this is not a too basic questions but could Moto have left this function out?
Scratching my head at the moment!
Thanks in advance for any help.

as far as i can tell there is no app in the app drawer for voice recording, but if you open a blank/existing text, hit menu, insert, new audio.. you can record a message and send it.. little strange that they don't have the stand-alone app in the app list
Has anyone had any luck with a market voice recorder app?

Thanks for the reply...strange work around it is.
Ok, I'm not feeling alone! How is there not a voice recorder with the Razr? Wow, I thought is should be a standard app with all "Smart Phones". I and maybe all of you with the razr should question why it is left off and what we can do to have an app that works. Be it from the Market or Side-loaded. So far I cannot get the 3 apps I've tried to work. I have until Wednesday to return my Razr and so far I love this device and want to keep for so many reasons. I'm rooted, use Battery Calibration and AutoKiller Memory Optimization and I getting 24 hours on my battery with intensive use. I even played 4 hours of golf with the screen and GPS on the whole time using (SkyDroid) and it only used 25% of my battery! So the razr rocks IMOP but no recorder, yikes!!! I NEED that for my work so it's a deal breaker if I cannot get it to function.
Is there a way to change the voice in s voice? Maybe to one that's a little more smooth like the one in google now?

yes... there's a way to change it. I'm currently waiting on a new phone to be sent to me so i'm not sure exactly what settings you need to goto to change it but it definitely can be done. Maybe try settings when you have S-Voice open?
I believe its in settings>language, you can change the tts from google to samsung, and it sounds less robotic and a little better, but in my opinion s voice is next to useless. There is a free app called Dragon Now I downloaded from the play store which works a little better for searching stuff... Its not a s voice replacement or anything, just better at searching for "stuff" and yes you can have both installed at the same time and choose which one to launch when you double tap the home key
Well I have IRIS will kills SIRI and S Voice buts its that same generic voice, actually its more robotic then S Voice.
Hello,
I've noticed that when you flash any ICS rom that it originally has the dialer and messaging app like regular phones do, including signal and networking settings.. I would like to know if it's possible that Google Voice calling and Text Messaging can be implemented to the Galaxy so it can be used as a phone with WiFi.
Thanks for anyone who could give some insight if it's possible.

Yes it can. You can download GrooVe IP or Talkatone. GrooVe IP is just the dialer, and Talkatone has the dialer and SMS built right in. However, with Talkatone you have to pay for high quality sound as with GrooVe IP it is already unlocked. To offset texting you can just download the Google Voice App, and use that. That's what I do and is works pretty well. All don't require you to pay anything when calling/texting numbers in the United States, but everywhere else they do charge. Textplus to me isn't all that great because they randomly give you a number and if your area code isn't available then oh well lol.
Here's GrooVe IP https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5zbnJibGFicy5ncm9vdmVpcCJd
Talkatone https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS50YWxrYXRvbmUuYW5kcm9pZCJd

Hope this helps. I can give you my information since I use GrooVe IP and the Google Voice App on a daily basis ( I go to college and don't have a job for a phone lol so this is the next best thing )

The voice lag is a Google Voice issue, it's present in GrooVe IP too.

I have Talkatone as well and it has both voice and text features. The problem that is inherent to the design of the Galaxy Player is that the mic is on the bottom of the device so everytime I've tried to talk to people, they can barely hear me unless I rotate the player so that I'm talking into the mic and then rotating it back to put the earpiece next to my ear. I haven't been able to pair my bluetooth headset to the player but if/when that happens, it should fix that problem.

It's not a Google Voice issue, because I use it on my laptop and have not once got lag. I think has more to do with the device. My sister got lag on her phone at one point and I fixed it by fiddling around with the settings. In GrooVe IP you can go to Audio/Echo Settings --> Echo Cancellation and check "Basic echo canceler" or "Adaptive echo canceler". Also go to Troubleshooting --> and check Audio Processing to, and then Go down to Mic Buffer and change it to medium or large ( I notice the larger it is the more lag). Talkatone I have no idea lol. I assume it has some of the same settings as GrooVe IP.

On talktone there is an echo cancellation option that has hardware and software check. And a echo path delay. Are these similar? there's also a "Jitter buffer duration" can these help fix the delay?

As I don't have much experience with talkatone but it sure does sound the same. I probably should be able to fix the delay. All I can say is mess with the settings lol.

I've tried VLingo, Google, several others. All have problems:
1. Terrible with matching Contact name; usally unbelievable off.
2. Many require touching the screen to advance.
Just lookting for something that works, prefereably without a data connection needed, activated by a simple long push on BT earpiece. Free not required.
Rooted, JB installed.

I've had good luck with the the built in Google voice dialer since ICS...vlingo was my go to before that. I think there is a dragon one available in the market but I haven't tried it.

I can't seem to find a clear answer, but doesn't Google Voice require having a Google Voice account with various phones listed and it automatically switches, etc? I would rather not get involved in that.
Tried Google Voice Dialer and it was terrible!
Took out all other voice dialer apps and tried the built-in JP Google Voice. I gave it ten names to dial; it got all ten wrong. Then I tried the same name five times; it got it wrong for four different guesses. It is closer to a random phone number generator than a voice dialer. But it did fine when dictating numbers, but that's not really what I want. I'll keep looking; there has to be something better than this.

I just switched off WiFi and Data and used google now. I said "call Home" and that's exactly what it displayed. Then it prompted me if I wanted to cancel, or skip ahead and call. There was also a red bar at the bottom that was progressing indicating that it would call my home number if no action indicated I wanted otherwise. Perfectly reasonable.

That's Google Voice, a different product than Google's Voice Search. Since 4.x, it has some great offline performance but it always pulls web results, as someone mentioned.
Try out Nuance / Dragon's newer app. Hopefully, that doesn't stream every word you dictate to a corporation that believes they can do whatever they want with it (like Swype's EULA).
