My experience:
- Provided headphones plugged into (Vibrant)
- Opened up google voice search
- spoke a command (navigate to.., etc.)
- Does not pick up my voice
I've searched on the xda forums and found no answer to this problem with regards to the provided headphones. I did find a discussion on a different forum at AF (android forums). And I'm curious to know why the provided headphones won't play well with Google Voice Search, yet other members claim it works with 3rd party headphones. Is this the headphones limitation for only call/end call? If anyone can discuss further about this issue it's greatly appreciated.

I seem to be having a problem with voice actions.
When I use an app, let's say Google Voice Search, the mic comes up to accept speech but almost immediately it says "no speech heard".
I have to start it again and start speaking quickly so it won't time out.
Vlingo works fine and gives me plenty of time.
What could be affecting this?
Thanks

Anyone know how I can get the UK female voice back for text to speech I had before my android 4.0.3 ICS update last night ? It's a dreary voice but one I got used to. I'm pretty sure it's the same voice that I'm still getting in Google satnav. If I could get the satnav voice into text to speech it would be great.
In language and input under text to speech output, I can choose either Google text to speech or Samsung TTS to read out my text. Google has one american female who sounds more phillipino and one english male whose voice sounds shaky. And in Samsung TTS, there's just one english voice, another female who sounds phillipino. Is that all the options I have for text to speech voices, have they taken away the voice I used to have? I use it to read out my appointments in my Calendar Snooze app. I read about Ivona text to speech on android market to add more voices but it says it's incompatible with my device so I didn't download it.
Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong category.
What I want to achieve is:
1. To stream audio (MP3s, calls) from my phone to my car stereo
2. To do this, and other functions of my phone, without taking the phone out of my pocket at all.
I'm going to be buying a Galaxy S5 in the very near future, and also my car stereo is knackered, so I thought now is a good time to shake things up. What I was thinking of was to get a new car stereo that has Bluetooth, and then use an NFC tag stuck on to the seat of my car, and the Trigger app, that when connected will turn on Bluetooth on my phone, and turn on voice commands.
First of all, what can one do with voice commands these days? I currently have a Galaxy S2, and with that one, it's not very much. What I'll want to do is call people, amswer the phone when people call me, write SMS/Whatsapp messages, and have them read out to me, set calendar entries and reminders, play music by going through my music library and reading it out to me.
Is this all possible in Android, or will I need a 3rd party app? To complicate things further, is it possible to replace current commands with other ones, where I would record them into the phone? The reason I ask is because my first language is Welsh. This also means that most my text messages will be in Welsh, so I will need to be able to write them in letter-by-letter, and also have them read out to me letter-by-letter. Possible?
Secondly, what sort of car stereo should I get for this? One with Bluetooth of course, but what other features should I look out for that I might need? Or should I go for a Parrot system?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Hello
I'm in the middle of building a funny little hangouts box and although I've done my research on this topic I couldn't find any concrete answers - and would like to hear opinions of people in the know before putting in more time and money into this project.
Would it be possible to trigger a motor when the device receives an incoming hangouts video call? (the servo motor of a music box movement - to be precise)
I know it would be possible via tasker and arduino for normal voice calls, but from what I read hangouts events are quite different.
I'd appreciate any kind of input.
Best
Emre
