anyone try using one of the samsung voices which are much nicer than pico..
well the concept is good but on google maps the damn thing keeps reading xml and http urls (presumeably to download the missing stuff) instead of giving navigation directions..
pico seems to work ok.
No idea, where do you get Samsung voices??? I have Susan pico as my text to voice for co-pilot.

Description
Talking buddy for your smartphone. Answers questions, performs tasks, notifies.
Speaktoit Assistant is a virtual buddy for your Android device that uses natural language technology to answer questions, find information, launch apps and connect you with various web services, such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, and many others.
The Assistant works with your smartphone to get maps, search for news and images, look up weather reports, convert currency and measurements, send email, and much more.
No need to memorize special commands or complex interfaces - simply speak or type in everyday language and the Assistant will understand and respond with what you need.
You can also choose assistant's appearance whether it be pretty blonde or brunette girl, handsome agent or old professor. You can also set up different voices with SVOX or Loquendo TTS.
Compare to Apple Siri, Nuance, Dragon Go, Vlingo, Voice Actions, Voice Search, Wolfram Alpha, Iris, IBM Watson and voice control applications.
This is a beta version - if the assistant doesn't answer some of your questions we will fix it really soon.
Previous release changes:
Dial, text and email people from your contacts!
You can now start the Assistant from the widget
Save your notes in Evetnote
Long tap on Search button to start the Assistant
If you want the Assistant to look more formal, you can set up the microphone image instead of an avatar (Settings > Appearance)

I'm looking for a good location based app.
Something like Siri where I can use speech to text. If I want to find a Chinese restaurant nearby, I could just speak "find me a Chinese restaurant".
I've tried Vlingo, Personal Assistant and Voice Search.
What else is there?
I believe there is a Wolfram Alpha app. It's based off the same tech Siri uses.
I am looking for an alternative to Googles voice typing keyboard. It’s very handy to be able to dictate notes, text messages, and emails but I’m not a fan of sending my audio to google. I’m also looking to cut out many of the fancy features like internet searches, gifs, and excessive notifications.
The way this hunt started, I was tired of the Google app; it was trying to be a little too helpful. So I disabled the Google app in the android settings. Then I realized that disabling it broke my text to speech keyboard.
I would like suggestions for simple voice to text keyboard that would not rely on the Google app. I prefer open source but that would not be strictly necessary if there is a good commercial alternative.
Anyone have suggestions?
Hi everyone!
Just got my Nord 2.
In general really satisfied (hope it doesn't explode)!
Anyway, coming from a Huawei I miss the really useful feature of being able to search through your contacts using the Notes field.
This way you do not have to bloat the contact's name or other fields with ugly information. You could just write it down in the Notes field and when you search it, it appears.
Unfortunately, this cannot be done with the Google contacts version embedded in the phone latest firmware v11.3
It is possible on the web version of Google contacts and in other 3rd party Android apps and other phones as well.
I find this feature missing quite annoying.
Has anybody any different experience with this?
UPDATE:
It seems this is a bug with Google Contacts and Phone app with the Greek Alphabet I am using. This is not the case when using Latin alphabet. Everything works normally then.
Also in the Phone app search actually uses the Notes field when written in Greek but ONLY IF it is an EXACT MATCH including capital letters
