I've searched everywhere and cant find the answer to this.
Does anyone know if the stock jelly bean rom will ship with s voice?
Will unrooted users be able to replace the functionality of s voice with google now?
S voice and Google Now are not mutually exclusive: you can have both on the device and both are included.
The default voice recognizer can be set to either.

The answer is No. S-Voice was from Samsung, and Samsung will remain it our S3.
thanks for the help, i havent been impressed by s voice and im eager to try google now
S-voice isn't that bad, it understands me but is slow and Siri is better. Google Now beats Siri so I'd like to think there was a way of making that the default voice recognizer program (like if you double tap home button it brings up that instead)
Doubletap-Home is a Samsung-Touchwiz feature, not an Android feature. It is thus hardwired to S-Voice.
FYI, hold menu button to open google now
then s voice as usual is double click home button

Other apps such as Skyvi can overtake it though. If you install Skyvi and double-tap the home button, it'll ask you if which app you would like to open.
No, because Samsung publishes their ROMs.. They will Leave S-Voice, and in my opinion, it's good that way.
You just need to give Samsung's apps a chance

So will the double tap menu be available from within any screen/app? or will I need to be on the home screen first Like in ICS?

Hey Friends is there any app available for android just like SIRI personal Assistent.
Speaktoit Assistant - have a look at this
Vlingo looks good too
Try Voice Actions. It's like a modified version of Google Voice Search with extra functionality, such as "order me a pizza", "news about Bill Clinton", "what's the weather like?" etc.
plenty of apps are there now like
1. voice actions (i like the most)
2. speaktoit assistant
3. andy
4. iris
5. risi
6. vlingo
7. Eva
when i try any of those it says my device can't recognize voices... any ideas? am i missing something?
Download from market Google Voice Search and a Speech Synthesis.
At Iris (I have tested only this) better set your system to English language.

i did, but for some reason it still says the same...
iris dude....
OK guys, I'm either dumb or it's really not working for me. Tried synthesis, iris, and every other crap there is and it's just not working. Any ideas or tutorial so I can start from scratch and try to set it up?
I'm using Kyorarom v0.4.0.
Hmm I don't know why it can't run...
You have some error?
For me it is working after installing Google Voice Search, and SpeechSynthesis Data Installer(you need installer, because other don't work)

Get voice search from market
LoL. I went to the Market to get Voice Search and it says that it's not compatible with my device. WTF Google?
Can anyone send me .apk please?
EDIT:
Found .apk. If anyone has similiar problems apk is here.
This one is far superior https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.outpushdev.mira
Is there a comparison somewhere, or someone knowledgeable on the subject that can help me out. Is there a reason to pick one over the other? This stems from when I use speaktoit assistant it prompts me to know whether I want to use Pico or Samsung. Thanks!
Just try them out and pick the one you like.
You can always change this in setting-->voice input and output
Personally I prefer Pico than Samsung, sounds a bit more natural.
You can also buy Loquendo TTS from the Market, which is much better than these two.

Be aware, Samsung tts messes up Google navigation voice badly
I have been using IVONA and have been more than pleased at the natural sound of this TTS engine.
I use svox classic myself

Language and input
In settings go to language and input. Change it from Samsung to Google.

on that note... is that the same way for google maps voice? that thing is kinda scary
Language and input
Here ya go. I changed that and all my voice alerts are from the Google voice. You can adjust the speed as well.
Mine was set to Google by default and I still have the annoying British accent voice (no offense to any British people...she just terrifies me)
I did update to the latest google maps through the play store...but there are some ROMs that have the "younger more energetic" voice even after the update...
do i need to take a different maps.apk?

Thanks for this. I never thought to post and ask about how to change this but I was getting all kinds of crap from my co-workers about the sultry lady in my phone trying to seduce us with her directions. :good:
Hi guys,
I have created a tiny app to automate my phone (a Samsung Galaxy S4) to do a simple task of my daily basics needs.
Basically it turns ON and OFF the bluetooth radio of my phone when I drive my car so it connects to the hands-free device of my car.
The application works great on my Android 4.3 device, however on Android 4.4 (KitKat) it doesn't work because it uses Google Play Services API for driving recognition and they (google) seemed to have changed the API on KitKat!
So my question is, can someone help me open a ticket to google to question about that changes on the API?
Google only allows tickets from anyone with one of Google Apps for Business, Education, Government, or Nonprofit accounts!
BTW: The app is named "bluetooth drive link" and is available at Google Play -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ferfig.bluetoothdrivelinkdemo
Anyone?!

I am frustrated with the lack of anything like this for ICS. I am in the same boat as you. I can't believe that Google Now is completely broken for ICS. Likewise, if you are on ICS, YOU CANNOT EVEN FIND VLINGO ON THE MARKET.
I seriously believe that Google paid Vlingo off to not make it available for ICS because we literally have no choice but to buy a Jelly Bean phone in order to have a decent voice search or voice activated app. (Because nothing comes close to Google Now or Vlingo in voice capability)
If you read the forums about ICS, you will see nothing but post after post of how ICS basically has broken voice activated and voice search mechanics. Google bent over backwards to put Google Now on Iphone, but refuses to support Google Now for ICS.
If anyone thinks it's a coincidence that Vlingo is off of the Android market for ICS and that Google Now was broken, then you are naive.
Google sold us out to get us to buy Jelly Bean phones.
I'm officially done buying Android phones after my current one dies in the future. I've never heard of such poor support for the second newest OS before. It's like ICS does not exist to Google.
Can you imagine how many thousands of people would download Vlingo from the market if they are stuck on ICS since we don't have Google Now?
(please let me know if I'm correct as I wonder if it's just HTC ICS that can't see Vlingo on market?
