I have been having issues with Google Voice Search recognizing some of my commands. The main problem is having the app recognize the names of some of my contacts. If the contact has a "normal" name with a "normal" spelling there isn't any problems, but any unique names or spellings do not work. I figured with time the personalized recognition option would remedy this but it has not. After some searching and taking suggestions from XDA and other forums, I decided to post my own topic to see if there is any help to be had.
I have made sure that all of my contacts are synced to the Google servers. The other popular answer is to clear your speech data from the Google dashboard. But I cannot find that option anywhere. The threads I've read say go to the Google Dashboard, scroll down to the Speech section, and click anonymize data.
My Google dashboard does not have a Speech section. I know the personalize speech recognition is on in the voice search app. Does anyone know where this data is in the dashboard or of a reason why it would not being getting saved? The only thing I can think of is that I have my Web Search History turned off, but those two things seem not to be related. Any help would be appreciated.
I posted this in the General Android Q & A forum without a response so I'll post my question here as well. I have been having issues with Google Voice Search recognizing some of my commands.

Thanks for the response, but my Google Dashboard doesn't have a Speech section. When I go to the dashboard the headings I have are:
Accout, Me on the Web, Profile, AdSense, Alerts, Android devices, Buzz, Calendar, Chrome sync, Contacts, Docs, Gmail, Google+, iGoogle, Latitude, Maps, Orkut, Picasa Web Albums, Play Music, Play Store, Reader, Talk, Tasks, Voice, Web History, Webmaster Tools, and YouTube.
Since my original post I have enabled Web History for searches only. Still nothing.
I have the same issue with a few as well. I just created another contact with their contact information but for the name I used a nickname that it recognized.
If I tell it to call my wife using her name it's hit and miss so I created a contact for her using "my wife" and it calls her everytime. Sometimes you have to be creative.
Good luck and let us know your solution.

I've now made a work around using your suggestion. I went into my Google Contacts and created a new group that I'm not displaying on my phone. I filled this group with the contacts that I have problems with, and updated them with more conventional spellings for their names. Voice Search still has access to these contacts but they don't show up in my phone book. Seems to be the best I can do until I figure out why Google isn't recording my voice searches for personalization...
Personalize speech regonition isnt working
I am having the same issue as the previous posters and it is driving me crazy. Very few people seem to be experiencing this problem or at least very few are posting about it.
I AM able to turn on "personalize speech recognition" via the setting in voice search, but on my google dashboard the speech section is missing and I see no evidence that google speech recognition accuracy is improving in any way. Ive tried clearing the app data and enabling search history without success.
Im running ICS stock rom on an HTC vivid with ATT service. I have voice search 3.0.1. The app store only has version 2.1.4. Id gladly uninstall 3.0.1 and install 2.1.4 from the app store if it would fix this problem but im worried uninstalling voice search could cause additional problems. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
thanks
I can't find Personalized Recognition option in Google search, after this last update?!?
Hello,
I just got the new Pioneer AVH-X8500BHS which has the App Radio functions built in. I have bought ArLiberator and now have full control over my android device. Awesome. One great feature of the AVH-X8500BHS is if you hold down the "home" button on the radio it launches voice control. What this does is open a screen on the radio and then activate the default voice control app on the smartphone.
However, Android is only listing three options to take voice commands: One is Google Search which doesnt even show up in my app list. Instead I want to be able to open Voice Search which opens a Google Now app that actively waits for input.
Is there anyway to tell google to classify Google Voice Search as one of the apps that can be opened?
Anyone have any idea?
Hi, i often use google search to search the name of apps instead of using the drawer. I've enabled the search on local phone, including app, chrome and contacts. When i type an app name, i got at first (on top) the name of the app, and when i'm going to tap on the icon, three suggestion from web appears on top, and the app goes down. The beavior is very variable, because of the presence of internet connections (in such case no suggestions) and its delay (mobile data vs. Wifi).
It's really annoying beacuse i use the search to open the app quickly, and often i click on the randomly popping-up suggestion, which open Chrome, etc.. (at the end is anything but quick).
There's a way to disable these suggestion, or use directly the phone (local) search?
Thank you.
