Hey all, I have done some searching and cant seem to get a working solution, I'm looking for an app that will take voice and translate it ti text for text messages or face book or whatever. I found speak n send, but it just wouldn't hear anything. No input from the microphone at all. Anyone on an xperia have somthing like this working?

Are you talking about Voice Search?
Once I re-installed it after de-branding I was able to use the microphone icon on the keyboard again.

Hi guys,
I found an old guide on setting up Google voice to work with the gtab but it's out of date and no longer works. Any status on getting Google voice setup on Gtab for phone calls / texts? thanks!

I downloaded the .apk from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11828239&postcount=4
Sideload-installed it and it fixed it. It moves the "Skip" button when it goes to pull VM settings and lets you bypass that.
Works fine for SMS now...haven't tried to listen to a VM yet.

Thanks, I tried it but I'd like to be able to make a call/receive a call. Is that possible? Also, how are you sending an SMS from it? I can only see the list of voicemails.
I'm running vegan ginger, and just downloaded it from the market. It works fine but you need a 3rd party application like skype to make calls voip. The but texting and reading voicemails is good

You need to make sure you have a regular Google voice account and a Google voice number. There is a lite version which you can only see voicemails. You can check on the glove voice website

Seems to work ok for me - I picked a sipgate number as "this phone's number" so it skipped offering to capture vm.
VoiceMail playbacks fine, notification of VM works
SMS send works/receive notification works.
Calls... don't work (on device, anyway)
Calls don't work because we don't have a app for calls. Google voice can use skype or another similar app to call, but most aren't free

I'm wondering if its possible to receive calls on touchpad? I pay $2 a month for Skype number. I also got the google voice app that's in prepare. But when I call either number it won't go through. Is there anyway to receive calls so maybe I can get rid of cell phone plan?
I've used Skype, so I know it should work. You must be doing something wrong.
u can receive skype calls but i believe if you keep the device off for too long it automatically signs you off of skype..to avoid that i guess open up the messaging app and then make urself "available" after a while.
as far as the "google voice app that is in prepare" not sure what ur are talking about ???? but could you elaborate because i'm looking for a google voice app rather than having the use the google.com/voice website for most of my sms's
im pretty sure he means google talk, not google voice. in gingerbread, with the right apk or phone, you can make video calls with google talk.
theres a google voice app.
Download the webos quick install and press the globe icon on the right. Once that loads just seach google voice and its there. Its nothing great, defiantly wish there was something better but its better than nothing.
Regarding skype....i cant recieve calls on it. I can call out fine but when i try to have someone else call me from their cell phone it wont happen.
hmm havent had anyone call me from their phones just a skype to skype call so not sure if that would make any difference.
and gonna check out that google voice app right now
I have gotten Skype to work both ways but I can't start a video call. The option is there but won't start

I did not see an app called google voice. I did find an app called P2Google Voice in the HP App Catalog, but I had no luck in making phone calls (it seems to be for the handset only).
If there was a Google Chat plug-in for webOS browser then we could make/receive calls in the touchpad. Or if there was a app to setup a sip account the touchpad one could make/receive calls.
P2GoogleVoice has been discontinued, so it won't work at all.
The only current app in the catalog is GV Text, which I have heard does not work either.
So, our only hope may be Linphone, which was being worked out by webosinternals:
Here's the wiki: http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Linphone
Here's the official discussion page: http://forums.precentral.net/webos-internals/274615-linphone-alpha-testing.html
and here's the link to install the package (but does not work on touchpad yet): http://bit.ly/linphone-0-1-8-pre
Thanks avinyc, I will keep an eye on Linphone yes it does not work on the touchpad
anyone have any luck getting a video call working?
any suggestion on how to use google talk or yahoo messenger on touch pad not as a chat but for voice
free skype
just got a Skype # today (use the discounts) and added it to my GV forwarding #s...works great. I emailed Skype customer service and they confirmed that no calling credit is used for incoming calls to your Skype #...so I assume no credit is needed if you use as callback to call out. Now all we need is a half decent GV app for the touchpad....even a modified browser may work...anyone?
I would like to be able to text from my Nook. I have Google Voice and Groove IP, but dont know where to go from there.
If someone could give me.the.steps to get this going, I would really appreciate it.

You can text using google voice. You just have to create an account. You won't be able to use your phone number unless you're on sprint (or you want to pay your carrier to allow it). But if you don't mind having a new phone number for your nook than it shouldn't be hard.
Usb mikes work?
You were talking about texting. That shouldn't require a mic. Bluetooth mics should work (depending on your version of android). I haven't made a call from mine so I can't tell you whether that works.
I doubt USB mic would work, USB hosting has been activated through a hack but it's fairly limited and I'm not sure if Android even supports USB mics.

For texting from my Nook I run SyncSMS. You install on both your phone and your Nook and you can sync your SMS messages between the 2 devices as well as texting from your Nook using your phone number....make sense?
late,
Coz
Just to clarify - I want to text. I don't need a mic. I have a google voice acct. with a google number. I want to use it for texting. All my searching tells me to use google voice with Groove IP over wifi. But I can't find the instructions to link the two together.
@cozboogie I looked at syncSMS on the market and it has really bad reviews right now. Sounds great in theory. Hope the dev will fix the app soon.

If you have Google voice, and a Google voice number, then you can text using Google Voice without any extra software. I dont know what Groove IP is, but you do not need it.
set up Google Voice with your number, and start texting.
Well, after a series of error messages, gvoice decided to complete the set up and now I am able to text. Don't know what I did, so can't pass on info for anyone else.

Groove IP is an app that allows you to make and receive phone calls through Google Voice on a data plan/WiFi...if all you are doing is texting, dload GVoice and use that...nothing else is needed.
Groove IP always crashes my nook when I use it for phone calls. When you end the call, the screen freezes and you have to reboot! And as the person above me said, you can text using the Google voice app itself.
Using Enhanced SMS and Caller ID with a Jawbone Era, I can't get the voice reply for SMS to work. Whenever I get an SMS and try to voice reply, it launches a Google voice recognition applet which I presume is part of the Google search app. Based on a little digging around the internet, it seems that Google Search on 4.1.1 is the issue ...

Does anyone know if this was fixed on later OS's?
Did you still need help?
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II that has been rooted and uses CleanROM 5.0. Today I noticed that my Google Voice messages are not only being received by the GV App, but also by the stock messenger App. Also, the stock messenger App will reply through whichever source the SMS came in (either Google Voice or Verizon). This surprised me, as I don’t remember ever getting GV messages that way before. Google Voice messages would only go to the GV App. I have also determined that I don’t even need to be logged on to the GV App for this to work. I tried Googling this to see if it was normal. All I could find was recent news of this being achieved by a Cyanogen Mod and there also being an App that will do this. I have neither a Cyanogen mod nor that App. What am I missing here? Why is the doing this for me? In any case, I’d like to use just the Stock App for everything I’d like to know how to make all outgoing messages default to using just Google Voice. Any ideas around why this started happening and how I can control how new messages will be sent?
Answered my own question (mostly)
OK, I found out why this started happening. Somehow I had changed the setting in Google Voice, so that text messages were getting sent my cell phone. So duh.... when I received a text to my Google account, it also was going to my Verizon account, and thus my stock messaging app. I found this out when I saw all the text charges Verizon was billing me for. So now I am using that App, called Stock Messaging Application with Google Voice, It looks somewhat like the stock application- but not quite (I like the stock better). It does catch messages coming in from both Google and and Verizon. I have it set to reply to all through Google- which it does. This is mostly what I wanted to do- the problem is, it's a little buggy. Sometimes a message won't go in or out. And as I said, I still like the stock app better.
So I still have a remaining question. Does anyone know if, or when, the breakthrough of this from July (for Cyanogen Mod) is showing up for other ROMS?

Glad to see someone else cares- I was actually kind of surprised by the lack of feedback/interest in this. I would have guessed this would be of more interest to people....oh well.
The app I was referring to can be found on the Google Play Store- it is called "Messaging + Google Voice", the developer is Troxie.net
This board won't let me post the link.
The problem with this app is that it seems a little buggy. Sometimes messages don't send or receive- but in general it does what it says. I have also found the Text for Free service by Pinger works pretty well with the stock messaging. You can set it so that all of your cell phone service based texts will also go into the Text for Free app. Then when you reply, the outgoing message will go through text for free. However, this is a separate number- not a Google Voice number.

I actually use the Sprint integration with Google Voice, so I am using only one phone number, my Sprint mobile number. I am really just trying to set it up so that if I am at my PC and I send an SMS with the web interface, that message will also be displayed on my phone. Right now, I can see that message in my google voice app, but not any third party SMS app (like Textra, which I use). I want to be able to use Textra to send all my SMS and MMS, and have it sync any messages I send using the google voice web interface as well.
