Android :: Vlingo Vs Google Voice Search - Actions

Aug 13, 2010

Whats everyones take on both these applications? I've just started using the new google voice actions and think its amazing, and actually interprets my speech quite well! Voice actions I think provide a bit more robust actions over vlingo, as they can be used to get directions, navigate you somewhere, call certain businesses etc.

I do like the idea of Vlingo's, text to speech, reading who's calling you or a new email or message. I use handcent and that has text to speech although its extremely quiet even if i turn it up completely. I also can't understand it most of the time as it speaks too fast in its funny computer voice!

Another plus, Vlingo is now FREE! I haven't downloaded it yet as I'm just enjoying Googles new voice actions, but I would be interested in a comparison with accuracy and speed in both these applications!

Samsung Captivate :: Google Voice Actions Is 2.2 - Vlingo Is Now Free

Aug 12, 2010

I was googling for "google voice actions eclair" in the hopes that a 2.1 version was in the works, and I found out that Vlingo (normally $9.99 in the market) is now free. It does some of the same things that the Google one apparently does (no setting alarms, though, too bad).

Android :: Vlingo Superior To New Gooogle Voice Search

Aug 25, 2010

I've loaded both Vlingo and the new Google Voice search on my Droid X with the leaked Froyo OS and Vlingo is significantly superior. Vlingo typically nails the request the first time while Voice Search isn't even close most of the times. Voice search is particularly weak with my contacts which are saved Last, First. While it may behave decently searching for "Jones Bob" it fails dismally when searching for "Bob Jones". Vlingo executes flawlessly with either.

HTC Droid Eris :: Use Google Voice Actions App

Aug 25, 2010

I was trying to use the google voice actions app, when it didnt work i figured it was the app, when the next 3 phone calls didnt work i figured it was the phone. this will be number 3 or 4, i cant remember. though i have had this one for about three months. Just got me wondering, how long have you had your particular phone, and if you did get it replaced in the past, what was the reason?

Sprint HTC Hero :: Google Voice Actions Envy

Aug 13, 2010

Since Google Voice Actions only runs on froyo, you'd think the Hero would be left out.

Try Vlingo, which, since the GVA announcement, is now free. It's pretty amazing. Not perfect, but very useful.

Vlingo can also be set to read your texts/emails to you (good for driving).

Android :: SECURITY FLAW - Google Voice Actions Usable On Lock Screen?

Oct 13, 2010

I just noticed yesterday accidentally that you can press and hold the search button on the lock screen and perform anything Google Voice Actions is capable of. I am using a Droid 2 unrooted. This may affect the Droid X as well. This is a huge security flaw in Motorola's modified pattern/PIN lock screen. Hopefully this thread garnishes enough attention so that this can be patched soon! Steps to reproduce:

1. Lock your screen
2. Press and hold the search button "magnifying glass"
3. Speak any voice action and the phone will respond. Note: you will not get any visual or audible cues (in Google Voice Actions) that it is working, but it is!

HTC Eris :: Chrome To Phone And Google's One-Button Voice Actions

Aug 12, 2010

So Google has finished their announcement and it's Chrome to Phone & Google's One-Button Voice Actions. Basically my question is are these features that would just need to be turned on in the ROMs or are these things going to be released in future Froyo updates? I understand for Chrome to Phone it's going to be a plugin in Chrome and a download from the market for the phones.

Chrome to Phone on Gizmodo

One-Button Voice Actions on Gizmodo

After doing some research I've found Chrome to Phone available in the Market and in the Chrome Extensions. Works perfectly

Initially got the package signed incorrectly error for the Voice Search, did a nand backup, used titanium to uninstall the default voice search, rebooted and installed voice search through the market. Worked perfectly. I'd assume this would work for any Froyo ROMs but haven't tested.

General :: Google Music API - Voice Actions To Launch Songs?

Jul 1, 2012

I was looking at all the nice music apps available with nice UIs and noticed that however good they may be, none allow connectivity to Google Music to access songs from the cloud.

I had read that someone released an unofficial Google Music API, however I haven't seen any apps take advantage of this. Also, not many apps seem to take advantage of Google Voice Actions to launch songs.

Any apps that have taken advantage of the API? What happened to the project?

Android :: Google Voice Search Dialog Doesn't Appear?

Oct 7, 2010

I'm aware that the home key cannot be caught, and I'm worried that a long-press on the Search key is another "Android-OS protected" key press. Just for testing, I tried to catch all keys with this code within my Activity, but it does not stop the Google Voice Search dialog from being triggered

KitKat 4.4 :: Google Now Voice Search And Bluetooth Combination?

Apr 21, 2014

I have a Galaxy S5 with 4.4.2. I dont recall if this happened when I had my S4 but this is my issue. When I am in my car and connected to the cars bluetooth, whenever I want to speak to google to do a search or something it goes through the bluetooth of the car. This would be fine but sometimes it waits like 2-3 seconds until the bluetooth in car picks up and messes up my train of thought. I would like to make the voice search not use the bluetooth when connected.

General :: Google Voice Search Not Play Music

Apr 4, 2013

This has been a rather annoying issue for quite a while. Whenever I use the commands like "Listen to (Artist or Song)" or "Play (Artist or Song)" it never seems to recognize it. Instead it just does web search of what I said, I'm not sure where the problem is in it though. I have Poweramp and Play Music installed with plenty of music on file.

General :: Can Change Voice Search To Celsius Without Using Google Now?

Dec 7, 2012

I know I can change the Google Now card settings to celcius and it also changes the voice search. But I don't want to use Google Now since I have no good use for it and on my leaked firmware it is a battery drainer.

When I disable Google Now after making the change to celcius it resets all card settings to default and the voice search goes back also.
