Hi,
Just got a Samsung Galaxy Ace, but can't figure out how to access/use voice dialing.
On my old Sony K800i it was simply a matter of recording voice tags for the
speed dials, then pressing the call button on the handsfree kit and speaking
the name.
Any ideas please?
Save the number in contacts then, click the voice search app, or go to the Google toolbar and click the voice icon and say e. g. Call john mobile. It will dial. Internet connection is required.

Thanks.
But isn't there a way to do this by just pressing the handsfree button and speaking? In the UK you're not allowed to handle the phone itself whilst driving.

@OP , try using Vlingo
Herpderp Adreno + Tegra.
Found an app in the Android Market place called
"Headset button Controller (Trial)"
Will give it a try (possibly with vlingo) and report back.
Maybe then someone will thank me...

Lol I just thanked

Using Headset Button Controller and Vlingo works!
I had to install the free TTS (test to speech) engine from the marketplace.
Then after setting the the headet button to voice command I was good to go.
The only downside of this method is that it uses data. So I'll use this for the
meantime, but the untimate goal is a standalone voice activated dialling app.

Finally found exactly what I needed.
Voice Speed Dial by Cyberon Corp on the market place.
Does exactly what I need and doesn' use data. Only thing
was I had to pay for it.

Just to confirm call recording works amazing as standard. I use callrecorder by skvalex and device is other, use standard android api and choose voice up link and downlink. Im getting really amazing call recording. No mods needed other than root of course. Im on an international version. Hope this helps someone.

There is no replacing this app. It can do ANYTHING you would ever need in a call recorder. To name some features:
I have my family in a "family group" in my contacts. Same with friends in "friends". You can go to exceptions and tell it to "never record x-group" and "always record" another group. It also has a manual over ride button so that you can start recording even if the person calling is in the "never record" group. So my recorder is setup so it automatically records everyone that is not in my "never record" group.
I love that app. Worth every penny IMHO.
I agree, it's worth every penny. Saved my ass once.

Yupp. It has saved me about $1.000 to date. What happens most of the time is we agree upon a price and they tell me another price when the work is done or when the product shows up. I tell them "no we agreed on $xxxx dollars.", they disagree, I show them the recorded call and they back down. Without this app it would be "I said, you said" and it would be a PITA to settle on something. It's such a nice app! Dollars, frustration and time saved! I would donate even more, but considering I gave the dev a tons of idea: exception list, movable recording button, "hide pause button if recording has started option" etc, that he incorporated to make the app it is today I feel I have done my part
Thank you. This is very good news indeed! I hope so will be in future)

"all call recorder" freezes my Note 2. It gave black screen after call and had to pull battery out, so I uninstalled it.

Can you point me in the right direction on how to get their software? I am willing to pay för a solution that lets me record calls regardless if I am on blutooth, cabled headset, normal or speakerohone, preferably channel divided. Sound format doesn't matter as long as there somewhere is a converter for it.
My phone is rooted, native API seams to work on handset with or without speakerphone active, however not with headset. My phone is rooted.
I tried every single setting from the "Standard Android API preferences, but it did not work with bluetooth headset (Sony Smart Wireless). Only the incoming voice is being recorded.
Though I only use the note with bluetooth the app is useless for me.

I've used record my call app which is free.
just set the recording mode to Phone instead of microphone.
I can even choose what numbers to record such as unknown numbers and groups. it's been great.

That's what I use now, but no matter what the setting, it either records only my voice or the other person. Not both. I've tried this two different bluetooth headsets without luck: Motorola hx550 and jawbone icon.

So this weekend i was driving around with my Note in its window mount and started thinking. What i really need is a way to trigger either Google Now or some other third-party app with voice-only controls. that way i could say Text Mom: Hi mom: and the phone would do so. Same with music, directions, calling etc.
As it stands, i have to manually activate these functions with physical contact. Is there any app out there that would listen for a key phrase to start an action?
Siri.
Or it's android counterpart ...."Skyvi "
Available on the play store..
I've toyed with it, and it's not bad.....g

Besides Siri on the iphone, the only thing I can find thats close is "assistant" in the market. Skyvi is only for sms, but assistant lets you create voice shortcuts. But nothing is handsfree - you have to wake up the phone and touch the app icon.

Hi,
Does anyone know of an app that works like an answering machine, allowing incoming calls to be recorded on the phone itself after hearing a prerecorded welcome message? I need this app for the Samsung Galaxy S3 to be used outside the US,
Thanks !

See if your provider offers visual voicemail...if not, check out "you mail" out some of the other visual voicemail apps on Google play.
That's about the closest I can think of...not only can you just hit play on your device without calling, but you also get a text transcript of each message as it comes through.

Hey,
Thanks for the help. My carrier offers voicemail but with no visual interface, that's why I'm looking for a application to replace it. and Youmail does not work in my country...
any other suggestions?...
Thanks !
Try Hullomail. That definitely works outside of the US, as I'm using it in the UK.

This may sound crazy but you can use Google Voice for this very application.

OK, I have done a little thread cleaning....I would rather not close this thread, so let's try a reset.
I think everybody knows that not every application is available in all locations...well now you do
So let's not get upset when somebody suggests something that you can't use. I just checked the Italian version of the play store and there are numerous Voicemail and Answering Machine apps for download. Personally if it isn't inverted (black background, white text) I don't want it.
So if i may recap.
The search is for an App on the phone(or tablet) that will answer for you and then play a message after that it will record what is been said on the other side of
the line.
So no redirecting calls to another number that records it so I/we don't also have to call that number to hear the messages.
I have also tried several from the "Google Play" market/store but i cannot find one that works correctly (i.e. clear sounds is a must for me personally, which all of them lack. If i want it on speaker to record i can just use my 1980 tape recorder next to it )
Oh just to clarify this is NOT about voice-mail!
An answering machine was used with landlines for when you'd be away.
Check this out, wiki about Answering machines.
And to clarify some more here is a wiki about voice-mail
Here are some of the suggestions (sorry if i miscredited anyone please PM me so i can fix it )
Hullomail (kingvortex)
Google Voice (marty331)
Visual voicemail - Check if your provider has an app (ryanshew)
Youmail (ryanshew)
I have looked at all suggestions above, but that's all voice-mail as far as i can see. (Checked websites and info if not clear enough, didn't actually try it out).
So if I'm wrong please let me know and i will research it further.
Hope this clears up some misunderstandings I have come to see in my 4 year hunt for a descent "Answering Machine app".
(Also looked for it when I had Windows Mobile but that was not possible on the phone i had then. Hardware related and such.
I'm developing an App that do this and it's called "LVoicemail": http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/app-lvoicemail-t3485750/page1

I have tried at least 4 or 5 different custom ROMs for the LG E970, counting the one that was on it when I bought it (SlimKat)...
I have installed Google Keyboard and (even after I enabled the Voice Input Key in Android Keyboard Settings) when I go to enable the Voice input key in Google Keyboard Settings, Voice input key is greyed out and below it it says "No voice input methods enabled. Check language and input settings."
I have always used voice typing a lot... Until I got the E970.
Does anybody know how I could get that ability back without having to ditch this phone?
Thanks in advance!

I think I get what you want now.
So basically in the Language & Input setting you want to make sure there’s a check mark in the box by the item Google Voice Typing.
The default input choose "Google Keyboard". Now go to the app you want to use voice typing, tap on the text field and on the top right of the keyboard you will see a mic. Just press it and you can start using voice typing. This worked for me.
If it still doesn't work you may want to also check you have google search installed. Let me know how it goes.
Thank you so much!!! As much as I hate having Google Search installed, it is much more important to me to be able to use voice typing.
Thank you!!!!!!
