Google Voice Search - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I was talking with my brother about siri. He mentioned functions like setting the alarm clock. So I tried it on my Evo, and it worked. So does anyone else know any functions Voice Search can do besides the handful Google has said, like http://www.google.com/mobile/voice-actions/.

Voice search

I am wanting to know how to play music using voice search. Anybody know how? I say it and it looks for the right topic but wants to open up pandora or youtube.

first in search settings make sure htc music is checked as a searchable item. then I believe the voice command is "play artist ______" - you can see all the voice commands by pressing help after you inititate voice search also.
I dont see it under search settings

Iris is also free and and better then siri as well
skyvi, andy, iris, speaktoit, vlingo, there are many better than siri. I like how skyvi has a personality like siri that isn't in another app. I forgot if andy and iris can do it but you can text and call from speaktoit and vlingo as well as google voice. idk, all great apps. Just waiting for that one that combines them all. I don't even use voice commands.. so idk why I'm commenting

Ask it if it is better than Siri on the iPhone. You get a great response.

its a fun little app, and somewhat useful if you use a lot of voice commands. Ive been using it a few days now and still get a kick when it responds to my outrageous questions lol. it would be nice if it was linked to more accounts tho
I've downloaded the app but i can't really try it, since I use accessibility on my phone the TTS engine won't shut up so it won't allow me to say anything, the app is getting 2 voices so it just doesn't work for me.

Google Siri Killer -- Majel

Are there any links showing Google's voice activated personal assistant? I was hoping to see some video of it in action. Read a lot of articles on it, but no video.

no, not yet. probably next year.

Galaxy SIII home button..quite similar to iPhone button, no?

So I love my gs3 but I also love the double tap feature on the iPhone which enables the music shortcut or widget to any music that's playing, Pandora, spotify, your own music on memory etc. Would it be impossible to "hack" the gs3 home button to do something similar to that? Please? I personally don't know anything about development, but would generously donate to any developer interested in this. Again, don't even know if it's possible and if this is even the right place for this. Just trying to get some feedback on the subject.
Cheers.

Android is Android

They are completely different Operating Systems.
Also try searching the forums first incase there is already a thread for what you are looking for mate.

"Listen to" voice command not working anymore

Yesterday I was trying to showoff the features of our phone to a friend and decided to demo the listen to command, but it didn't launch a song it just did a google search.
I have my langauge set to English (US). I cleared the Google Search application data.
Other voice actions work, likes "send text", "navigate to", "call", pizza, "how old is Barak Obama". For some reason "Listen to" just does a google search.
Anybody else experiencing this?

Is it possible they've stopped this feature in Canada? !

Doesn't work anymore for my Sprint Galaxy Nexus as well. I looked at the reviews in the Play Store and people are saying the same thing. Just last night I tried to demo it showing off to a friend to no avail. I lost hella cool points just then. Looks like I'll have to charge it to the goog.
Has anybody found a solution to this problem?

Looks like this is working now. But the "listen to" playlist name is still not working.
Also, certain songs don't play. It's weird.
