Have you tried google voice search? Comes preloaded with most androids 2.2 and higher. Try long holding your search button.

Try Vlingo from Market.

GingerDX have a app with this function pre-installed.

Siri is VLINGO
Guys, if you check out the videos, you'll see SIRI IS VLINGO. Maybe a newer version, but it's still vlingo.
I could not resist to urge the laugh when I saw that Apple is actually not innovating this time, but copying and lagging behind at least 6 months.
The whole design, look and feel of the application is exactly that of "Voice Talk" on my Samsung Galaxy S II. Which is actually made by Vlingo.
It seems like apple's momentum is slowing down.
Siri is faaaaaaaar far away from Vlingo.
Vlingo is a voice parser "do that", "update facebook", "send to XXXX subject YYYY text ZZZZZZ"
Siri is gramaticaly far away from this. It is suposed that if you say "Siri, send a mail to XXXXX with this: blablalballblalbalbla" and siri will ask you for the subject, if you dont want it, you will be able to say "no, withouth subject" or "send it, i don't care". And siri will do it.
As I said it is suposed to work like this Siri.
For example, I installed Vlingo, I asked for the weather in Barcelona (Spain), and it said me "no coincidence".
On siri you can ask for the weather, if this afternoon are going to rain... and siri will UNDERSTAND you ( understand != parse ) and will give you the same answer... because at the end, you want to know the same: weather.
I love android as much as I can.... but if siri works as it's suposed to work and as Apple said... there isn't anything on android that works like that (yet).

Nope. If you start using Google Voice Search and you have infact enabled something idk the exact sentence but its a personalized voice. Everytime you tell it to search something, it learns your vocabulary, how you talk. Thats basically what Vlingo does too. If you download vlingo and then start telling it to do ****, its not going to work, you have to talk carefully the first few times.
I just tried vlingo, i said "Weather in Frisco, Texas" and it brought up google and showed me the weather.
Sure its not as UIcandy as Siri, but it does what it does. Siri is AI, i know that and i know that vlingo isn't. but think about it. Vlingo is ONE app, vs a thousand in the voice market. Siri was a COMPANY. BOUGHT by apple and refined.
If Google took time to actually do crap like this, it wouldn't take long at all. Their Google Voice search is only a step behind because Siri understands when you talk in a accent etc.
Still not the same. Google's speaker icon works great for what it is, and Vlingo goes a step further, but Siri goes way beyond Vlingo.
If you tell Siri: "Remind me to call home when I leave work." It will (supposedly). It will know when you left work by your location changing, and it will wake up and say "Remember to call home, would you like me to connect you now?" or something like that (supposedly).
There is no app that does anything like that (I just tried a bunch).
As far as I can tell from searching/trying apps, there is no app that will even let you set an alarm or add an event to your Google Calendar using only your voice.
Now my guess is, it's not going to work in the real world as well as it does in those Apple Ads. I expect tons of tech news saying it sucks. If it does work as good as they promise though, I hope we get it soon. If not, I might actually consider jumping ship to an iPhone in a year or too (naw, just kidding... it is an awesome feature I would use all the time though, if it really works like the ads).

It will be a failure, microphones are not so powerful to hear ur lovely voice... There no 100% gurantee on streets u talk like that, and u got siri wrong doing... Siri is just another bunch from google and voice search, vllingo, speaknoit, siri needs a quiet space then ur recognition will be just lovely as u wanted.... Siri is just another classic failure... What a big disaster...

Have any of u thats saying what siri is going to do actually use siri? I mean damn it might be the best thing since sliced bread or it might be a gimmick if you let someone sell u something its goin to sell it to the best of its ability not say well u have to calibrate your voice and all that...**** if ur impressed then ur impressed but if u never used it yourself don't speck on it just because you see a couple of apple you tube videos
It's a shame that android will never get Siri.. Siri was originally being made FOR android. Til apple bought it, for that very reason.
Whats the bet it'll now never be made for android?
So, I' keep reading that you can use Google Voice to make voip calls through wifi with tablets like my YP-G70. But I can't figure out how to do it. Every post I see anywhere says to just have it forward to Google Talk. I've done that, but still nothing happens...
Maybe I'm just missing something?
Any help would be very greatly appreciated, and I really hope I didn't miss a post that already answered this. 'Cause I really looked. =\
Also, any other app suggestions that could do this better would be awesome, too.
Thanks in advance!
Use Groove IP, and link it to your Google Voice credentials.
Free US and Canada calls for the remaining of this year.

I can definitely recommend GrooveIP. And from what I can tell, you can now make calls straight from the Google Voice app using "Click-to-Call" (added in the new version of Google Voice).
I currently use GrooveIP still though, since it's most convenient. Calls sound fantastic if your on a good connection, slightly laggy over 3G in some cases.
Ahh, thanks! Installed and working gloriously.
... Although I feel kinda dumb now.
But thank you for your help!
I use spare phone with google voice it works perfect!

Grooveip is nice. unfortunately google is going to start charging next year for calls. :-(

Doesn't surprise me at all. But I bet when they do charge it's probably still going to be a ridiculously cheap alternative.
Granted, I could be completely wrong...
Talkatone
I'd like to see something like Talkatone for iOS. That app works really well and android needs something like that.

But I like GrooveIP much better.
I'm really happy with GrooveIP so far. Especially when I remembered to change my wifi back to never sleeping.

Oh I didn't realize there was a Talkatone, thanks!
The Reason I like Talkatone is that you don't have to have 2 accounts set up. The subscription I used to setup my Google Talk account is up now ;-).
talkatone has the added advantage of being able to send SMS
Groove IP Lite
This is my first post. I'm really happy to confirm that Groove IP Lite really works with my Galaxy Player 5.0
I searched "how to make my galaxy player 5.0 a phone" on google and found instructions (both video & text) from unlocker dot com. Should be very first article.
1. Setup a google voice account
2. In the settings, set your google account phone to answer to your GoogleChat.
3. Download the app at Google Play, Groove IP Lite.
4. Follow the instructions.
Have fun with your new VOIP phone. Awesome!

Yes, the earpiece works with the phone feature only (just talking back & forth). Adjust the volume in the settings first before you make your first call. Talk about ringing your in ears, man!! The button, on the earpiece, only works the "play/pause" for your music on the Galaxy Player 5.0. So you'll to your phone the player itself. Cool? Cool.
Anyone get VOIP working well on their player? I've tried ALL combinations of different software packages with my 5.0 (grooveIP, SIPdroid, talkatone, etc) and cannot find one that offers a usable delay. Every single call I've ever made has has been laggy as hell - even with a full wifi signal, wifi security off, no firewall and fast internet. My test calls all deliver voice through the player with at least a second delay, and having a conversation is almost impossible.
I've tried playing with all the SIP/VOIP settings, played with call quality, codecs, everything! Some settings have made it marginally better but still not good enough. I also bought Tegrak overclock hoping maybe the lack of processing speed on the 5.0 was causing an issue with the codecs - even overclocked to 1.5ghz there was no difference whatsoever.
I'm running gingerbread, but I can't see ICS being any better.
Anyone have any ideas, or is the hardware on the player just insufficient?
Me too I tried all kind of settings with GrooveIP and Talkatone and I just couldn't get rid of the 1 or 2 seconds delay. I'm curious if anyone else sees the same thing or do you just not notice it? It's there.
Thanks!
Hi,
I would like to change the voice of S-Voice. I prefer other TTS Engines out there. It seems to ignore the TTS Engine settings you set in the OS Menu.
Also, is there a way to switch between a male and female voice ?
Thanks.
dont bother changing it just delete s-voice , its the biggest pile of junk ever
I completely disagree with you ! I actually like S-Voice alot ! Its one of the reasons I bought the S3 in the first place !! Yes it might not get all the sarcasm of Siri, but it has its own advantages, I love how I can control so many functions of the phone just by voice (Especially the morning alarm ! The voice activated snooze or stop is AWESOME !) So anyway, I personally like it !
it cant even control opening radio / music and apps .. and updating fb n twitter using it is just rubbish and the constant network error and i cant understand anything lol . vlingo has never been good and probably never will be
anyway to change between male and female goto language and input then text to speech output .. samsung tts is a woman and google text to speech is a male
also click on the cog next to samsung tts to change tone of voice etc
Im not sure if you have used s-voice or not :S
It can play music very well, I asked it this morning to "play me some music by David guetta" and in no time It opened up my music player and played "Little bad girl" !!
I asked it to update my facebook status and it asked me right away what I wanted to say, and then updated it just fine !
So again........its doing everything I want it to do with no problems what so ever !
BTW I hate Vlingo too, its a crappy program, but S-Voice is VERY VERY different from vlingo, I actually went on my S2 and started comparing and vlingo couldnt do ANY of the things SVoice did, it simply didnt understand any sentence unless It was an exact command.
yes i have used s-voice many times and have a clear english accent . s-voice is only vlingo with a skin .... i am actually right now talking to my cousins s3 and asking it to update facebook with something and it comes up with something totally different .. and also when asking it to update twitter it trys top update facebook .. asked it to play bob marley , it played oasis, then everything else i just asked it said network error , exactly the same as my s-voice b4 i deleted it
Wierd......didnt face that many issues with mine !
Well, it did misunderstand me a few times........I told it to open facebook once and then it came back saying "I dont understand what you mean by Dicks" lol ? Not sure how it translated FB to dicks........but that was funny anyway
The network error message is the only thing that really bothers me about S-Voice.
OP, did you work out how to do this? I have the same problem, I want to use Ivona TTS as well...
Nope, I didnt.........S-Voice app would have to be modified to use the OS TTS engine and thats not gonna be easy. Well I definitely dont have the expertise to do that, so hopefully someone out there would be able to !

How can you configure s voice to snooze your alarm ? I haven't really used s voice that much but this seems like an interesting function Thanks in advance !
You go to Settings >> Language and Input >> Voice cmd for apps
Turn it on and tap on it again to access it, there you will see a list of apps/actions you can do , you choose which ever ones you want to activate.
Thats one of the features im still enjoying in my S3 But be carefull its soo easy to yell STOP and then go back to sleep !

I figured this out!
Go into your settings(phone settings) and pick whatever TTS engine you want.
Then, double tap the home button to enter s voice, and then hit the back button two or three times to completely exit S Voice.
Double tap the home button again and the voice ought to have applied.
EDIT: Also, if you want to use like an Ivona British voice, you also need to select the United Kingdom English in S Voice's settings. Or, you can simply have Ivona only install the voice data for whichever voice you want, and it should carry over to S Voice regardless of which version of English s voice is set to.
Or, if that doesn't work, something I once encountered, use the Application manager and Disable all but the TTS engine you want to use. Also force close them and clear their data. Then clear S Voice's data. Get into s voice again and disable, then re-enable the voice prompt. IF all else fails, that -should- do the trick.

you must have some crazy accent that yourself didn't notice.
After I downloaded the HD tts files, I tested it in S Voice and got the same old voice.
While in S Voice I hit the menu button and chose Settings. It brought up an S Voice settings menu.
From there I selected language. (which will be set to whatever your default language is. For me it was English (United States))
I then select another language. As soon as I selected it I was taken back to the S Voice Settings menu.
I selected language again and set it back to English (United States)
When I tested S Voice again that horrible robotic voice was gone
Aight so when I ask google voice a question I cant hear what it saying cause the voice is so dam low!! Is there a fix?? I hope there is cause I'm trying to show it off to people and I look like a dummy!! Lol I telling then how cool it is and it ain't working rite

Mine doesn't do anything anymore lol its really a novelty anyway
I end up using headphones to listen to my messages. The speaker is really soft and it's really not practical to even try using it. Either listen to the messages via headphones/bluetooth/some sort of audio out or via the earpiece.
@om4, Do you mean Google Now or Google Voice is a novelty? If voice has become a novelty I'd suggest trying to fix it! It's wonderful to have a separate phone number with a completely indepedent voicemail box.
There is an app that would let you boost volume options. here is the play link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TEST.android.lvh&hl=en
and here is his website where you can download the full version and test it out. he also has a free version on PLAY
http://androidaudiohacks.com/
it has a simple audio boost if that all you need to do. set it to 10 first and increase from there
Lol I meant Google now, mine no longer listens. Op said when I ask Google voice a question, I assumed Google voice search/Google now
I skipped over that line haha
I think you're right, OP doesn't seem to be talking about Google Voice here
I am having the same issue with my Nexus 7 32GB Android 4.2.2 AOSP Stock
When I ask Google Now a question the replies are very low even though all my volumes are set to max.
On another note: It would be neat to change the name of Google Now so instead of saying Google you could make it Computer for all your Star Trek fans lol
I am not one of them but I thought it would be cool.
or maybe change the name to K.I.T.T
I don't want to use an app that will cause all of the volumes to increase though cuz then I'll get blasted every time I take a call by the person on the other end I just wanted to Google to be louder

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..

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.
