Hi,
Everytime I say like "Add Reminder", it brings me to Google Search.
It is suppose to do like what Siri does, add a reminder for me. I have changed the default language to English (US) but still the same problem.
Thanks.

I am looking for an app that would enable me to dial contacts or do actions on my Android phone by voice. The standard Android voice recognition is unacceptable because I am not from an English speaking country.
My old phone had this feature where I could record a "voice command" for any of my contacts and only those would be considered when voice dialing. This also enabled for much more variance in speaking so I suppose it would be helpful for English speaking users too.
Is there any app that would provide this functionality? Or is somebody working on one?
I am in a similar situation, a number of my family have non-English names and Android cannot recognise them. I've looked everywhere and cannot find one either. Everyone seems to rely on voice recognition which is, frankly, crap for anything remotely non-standard in language.
You can use Voice Speed Dial by Cyberon Corp, it's very good
.
Moved to Q&A
it will be great if such an app exists.
let me now if you find one
is there a development/process/information about this thread?
To make the Android voice recognition work, go to Settings>Voice Input & Output>Language>English (US). You'll be able to use all the voice commands. I don't know how well voice dialing will work for you though. It works for me many times with Indian names, but also fails a lot. Try Vlingo too, it might work better.

Does anyone know of an app that can speak the name of the caller that actually works on the atrix?
I have tried "voice caller id" but it doesn't work.
That option is built into the Atrix!!
Settings> Call> Caller ID readout.
I like Grace from SVOX, I dumped Pico for her.
Oops. Just tested and it works. But why does it speak the name of the contact in both spanish and english? I would like spanish only and to customize the prefix that gets spoken before the contact

Uhm, mine only speaks English. I would turn my phone off if it spoke Spanish to me. Sorry I cant help you there.
Maybe it's because i have morelocale 2 installed and customized my locale to English (Venezuela) (en_VE). I did this because on english the dialer stores numbers as xxx-xxx-xxxx while on my country numbers are xxxx-xxx-xxxx
Settings>voice input & output>text-to-speech settings
Have you you played with those settings to try and make it work?
yup, it's funny to hear "incoming call from xxxx" in a spanish robotic voice and then hearing the same in the english robotic voice.
i will try removing my custom locale. it's too bad you can't configure anything regarding the readout.
on voice caller id, you can configure the prefix (the "incoming call from" text), also you can configure the "unknown caller" message, the volume, position and repeats of the speech, also if it should respect silent mode or not and a bunch of other stuff. sad it just doesn't work
I use an app called Call Announcer. It works for me. Not sure about the language issue though. I've only used english.

hello, I hope this is the right section.
I just installed switkey x keyboard and it works very well, I love it. I have only one problem. Sometimes I need to dictate an sms or an email using different languages and the voice input language changed based on the keyboard language. Since in the last version of swiftkey there is no language change (it automatically regognize the language when you type), I can't choose another language for the voice input...
hope somebody can help!
Hi,
Anyone know of a way/app to quickly switch between input language when doing voice search?
I found this, but it doesn't seem ti be working.
I use swiftkey which has it's own voice input button and on it the possibility to switch input languages, but it doesn't seem to be working when trying to use it on the google search widget, or other search fields (maps, play etc.)
I'm on a Galaxy S2, Jelly bean 4.2.1 Cyanogenmod 10.1 build 20130103
Thanks.
EDIT:
If anyone is still looking for a solution, I managed to solve mine by using the SlideIT keyboard which has the option to quickly switch between languages and a voice button.
I have search before and the answer given didn't work out for me so I need to ask again.
I just installed Supernexus 2 build 4 on my S2 but I can't get the voice commands working at all.
First of all, I don't have the left soft button linked to voice commands ¿Is it possible to get it working so that a hold on the left soft button gets Google now open? Also I can't get Google now to work with commands like setting an alarm or an event into the calendar.
I try to open the voice dialling icon from the apps menu but it stay on initiating forever and nothing else happens. ¿Any idea?
Dont think Google now is for Voice Commands like S-Voice, Its just for search. And obviously Voice Dialer is only for dialing.. Btw setting alarm works partly for me in Google Now.. Maybe try a reflash of your ROM..

Google Now is at least able to make calls, play music and set alarms. And I can't get it to work with my bluetooth headset :/

With Google Search last update, it works!
You need to set the phone language in English (US) and the voice search language as English and you will be able to set remainders, alarms, calls, note events, etc.
