Hi
Has anyone tried this app on the Desire.
Voice Dialer HF
It works on the Nexus One (although you still need to touch the screen as there is no camera button).
My Nexus One has no camera button. How do I start VDHF?
Today, VDHF on the Nexus One may only be started via the icon, since the Nexus One has neither a camera nor a send button. As soon as Google releases an OTA update that activates the Bluetooth "voice activation" feature, we will add support.
It's the closest thing to proper bluetooth voice dialing available at the moment, and since my phone is due to arrive early next week I would be interested if anyone has used this app or will now try it if they didn't know it existed.
Looking foward to receiving feedback.

Is the inibility to download beacuse of the restrictions that are seemingly on the Desire at the moment or is there another reason?

For this issue, you can try button shortcut in the market! you will love that I think ;-)
Anyone on this app.
Is it a copy protected app or is it just not downloadable because it's not compatable. I haven't received my phone yet, and to be honest I am beginning to think I was too hasty in ordering it.
EDIT: INFO from Voice Dialer HF
# I can't buy any paid app from Android Market. I use a Google Hosted Domain.
* We have had reports that users signing up for Google Checkout with a Google Hosted Domain email address (Gmail using your own domain name) may not be able to download paid apps from Android Market. A workaround is to sign up using an email address with a standard Gmail [email protected] account. Discussions here and here.
UPDATE
Okay
I've spoken with the developer and the UK sales of his prodcut is suspended because initial voice recognition results with the product were not good. However when I get my phone he isprepared to let me try. I get the impression that it is tweakable. For me, a product like this is the difference between keeping the phone when it arrives, or returning it.
You should try Choice Dialer. I got it from the market on my Desire. There's a free version which will voice dial. There is also a paid version which lets you play an album or playlist by voice. Works well but still no bluetooth control as no voice activation seems to work by bluetooth. Other problem I had was that I could not choose a single song track by voice as I seem to have too many. Tony, the developer, has not yet yet been able to resolve this for me. Voice dialling isn't perfect but pretty good for me. You must speak clearly though.
Try it.
Choice dialer works fine as long as you set it up to work only as a phone voice dialer.
If you enable also the voice apps it often gets confused.
I have used it only one day but it seems like it can deliver also via BT headset.
fingers are still crossed but so far so good...
Well my experience after 1 hour is quite different.
I have 600 contacts, most with just a mobile number, but some with mob/Home and some with mob/home/work. I would say sucess rate is about 5% at the moment.
I'm also getting
Sorry!
'The application choice dialer free (process com.resounding.choicedialer.free) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.' more often than I get a correct call made. Okay Android OS is new for me, so it's unfair to judge, but this is awful compared to MS Voice Command.

I tried it.
It wouldn't undertand me at all!
Also after dialling it went off and I had to press the phone button to select it again for it to start listening again.
If I have to do that I might as weel just use speed dial..
Maybe I am using it wrong??
Try vlingo.

Choice Dialler Works fine for me even with a slight Welsh accent. Speak slow and it also picks up on contacts mobile, home or work number.
My wife and I got new Blueant headsets and we're testing them out. The quality of the headsets themselves seem good enough. But oh my God, trying to use the phone's native voice commands, it is ponderous. Trying to call my wife I was successful 1 time out of I don't maybe 50 tries. I tried "open ...." with every possible application... "No results, please try again." And when the voice says "redial", "redee-ill"??? Seriously? Redee-ill???
Anyone have any tips or know of any apps that can replace this horrible system? I come from an iPhone 3gs and while I love this phone so much more, the iPhone voice command system was amazing. This voice command system is pitiful at best.
I got Choice Dialer+ Free for voice dialing since the built in one was complete crap for me.
It works great.
Are you talking about Voice Dialer? Because I have absolutely no problems with it whatsoever. I have tried Choice Dialer + free and that thing is a horrible POS. It thought Market was Latitude yet the native voice system could get "Open Superuser Permissions".
I love the Voice Command on this phone. I think you are thinking of something else though.
It has the best VTT in the biz.
Might be a Mic issue.
Don't use voice dialer. Hold search and say call wife.
Hrmm, maybe I am missing something.
When I hold down search by default it only does a google search online, even if I say "Call Daniel". It just pulls up a google search for call daniel.
Is this configurable? I tried looking in settings but didn't find anything that looked relevant.
Edit: This would rock if so. The search app almost always gets it right. I just have issues with the voice dialer app.

^^^^i'm having the same problem he is having^^^..
Indeed I also have terrible problems with the voice dialing feature from my bluetooth's (Jawbone Icon, Plantronics 925 and Jawbone 2). All the headsets are amazing and have no problem when on a phone call. Yet voice dialing with them is seriously TERRIBLE. Using voice to text though for SMS,Emails are fine. Odd...
Just to clarify, I'm yalkinggg about the voice dialer. I said voice command because its supposed to be able to open apps as well but that hasn't worked. Voice search is incredible. In fact I tried voice dialing my wife and it failed miserably but saying the same thing inti the voice searched worked perfectly. It even spelled her name right and she has a somewhat unusual name. So its not a mic issue, its a voice dialer issue.

while i don't use the bluetooth configuration, i can say i do use the voice dialer with no issues whatsoever. i usually hold the phone in front of me (not up to my ear, which is probably what i should be doing, lol), start the voice dialer (or voice search, both will work), and say "call *insert friend's name* mobile", or "call *insert friend's name* home". never had an issue. if it can't guess absolutely, it puts up a list of what it suspects are candidates, i click on it and go. same sort of thing as "navigate to *insert place i want to go*". works like a charm

I'm looking for this to work over Bluetooth. In my opinion using voice dialer right from the headset is worthless because it takes twice as long as just using the smart dialer in the phone interface. The whole point to me is to have the phone in my pocket and the headset on, use the voice command to make a call without having to touch the phone at all. Like in a driving scenario.

So I guess you're talking about voice dialing as in "EIGHT-ZERO-ZERO-FIVE-THREE..."? Is this so you can dial numbers that aren't in your phone? Because otherwise if the number is in your phone (or you're looking for a business) then I say, "call ____ mobile," as someone else has pointed out already.
Did the headset have any apps or anything you had to put on the phone? Maybe that part is buggy?
If you have a heavy accent what do you expect?

No I'm talking about contacts that are entered into the phone.
I tried Choice Dialer Plus and the voice recognition works great. Super accurate. My only issue, and it's a biggie, is if the screen is off, I activate the voice control through bluetooth, I say the command, it confirms, it won't actually place the call until i press the power button and unlock the phone. Then the call connects immediately. That's counter intuitive since I want to not have to touch the phone at all.
I have to admit I don't use it that often. I just noticed that it actually is able to pick up what I say perfectly fine.
I have no accent but every time I try using the Voice Dialer application it shows me a list of names nowhere near what I said. I haven't tried it in 2.2 yet, but I assume it's the same.
wowwww i just tried the voice dialer and holy bajeezus, what a pile of poop.
not one single time did it get anything correct. and it was even putting people names in there that didnt even remotely sound like what i said.
this was via the phones mic, not a headset.
voice search works much better.
I guess my Chicago accent is what works.

r u on 2.1 or 2.2? 2.2 is way better
however windows mobile still has the best voice dial hand down ... and it had it in 2005
I have a blueant Z9i and it works awesome. Flippin 10x better than the dialer on my old BB9630. I'm thinking it does have something to do with accent. <<<---Midwest here.

Does that work if you don't have a wife? Does it call my FUTURE wife? LOLZZZ!
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
It works for me just fine. I also find the speach to text to be very good.

Down in the Google Voice and Skype thread below, from monkeyboywa:
monkeyboywa said:
Don't think i'm unique...but I've now got GV + Skype working decently WITH BLUETOOTH.
I initiate the call from the gtab and it plays fine. As with all VOIP systems...there is a bit of a lag...but everyone said I sound clear enough.
I am using the hacked skype.apk...paired my BT (Motorola bt820 - a real piece of ****..but that's another subject) and it works great.
I've tried to use GV + sipdoid but the lag was horrible...and almost everyone said i sounded either too much static or it picked up every fricken sound and multiplied it x10 (this was using the included headphones)
So i'm going to keep trying this setup...other BT headsets I have...and if in 27 days still works great....bye bye voice/data plan (which isnt usable by the tablet atm..grrrr...)

the problem is that i can't use gv from my country. . . and by the look of it its rather a complicated setup just to use voice dial
You tried Vlingo over Bluetooth?
i tried it.. all of these apps dont do what i think a voice dialer should do.. run in a background and when u press the button on your bluetooth headset it should let to call someone by saying their name without you opening the tab and chosing the Tap To Talk..
no point in voice dial if u have to access the tab for it to work
anyone know if this is even possible?
tyvm
There is ONE firmware where this feature worked: XXJI5.
Voice dialing over BT actually worked.
Since that firmware, it it no longer working and i tried every firmware out there.
I even reverted back to XXJI5 and confirmed it started working again.
if i flash that firmware will i still be able to use voice and 3g/hsdpa in europe? don't wanna lose that since that works.fine here in the.eu

Try Cyberon Voice Commander

Cyberon Voice Commander just works as what you describe. You can download the application from Android Market.

I'm running JMC and sadly there's no update to the voice dialer app, in fact there isn't even one -on- the tab.
Only real thing I missed from my N1. Would there be a way to extract the voice dialer Apk and push it to system/app for an artificial install?
Edit: After trying a multitude of apps, I believe it might have something to do with the bluetooth connection (in addition) to the lack of a proper voice dialer app. Several after-market apps won't recognize the long-press call action from a BT headset.

There's no trial... at $6 and only 3 stars, I'm a bit reluctant!
Have many people tried it?
I can't believe such an advanced device lacks such a basic feature.
Samsung Vibrant on Froyo has this feature and it helps a lot when driving. Considering that Vibrant and Tab are very similar it should be possible to make it working without any additional software.
I know that Vibrant has separate VoiceDialer.apk
VoiceDialer.apk (rapidshare /files/ 301866434/ VoiceDialer.apk) works perfectly and triggers standard Google Voice Dialer via long press and via Bluetooth. My HD2 running on DFT_LEO_NAND_Android did not support this out of the box so I am glad to have found a solution to en my Car Kit frustration.

And thank you kind sir.
i did just fine using vlingo and choice dialer free
even tried it
for vlingo, u can wake up the tab 1st, then do the call, but somehow it lacks of understanding what i said, and ended up calling another people
i prefer choice dialer, as it understands me quite nicely, but from a screen off tab, long press doesnt work >.<
when its on, it works nicely
havent used it again for a long time, and today i found out that some app is using the mic so i cant use choice dialer
how to find out who's the culprit? anybody knows?
Using Choice Dialer Plus Free (AKA Hands-Free Voice Dialer (free)) from Android Market with my Infuse. Works great and doesn't need a data connection.
Has anyone used all of these?
I am having a problem with Vlingo and Google accurately accepting my voice commands. I be speaking good English with clear enunciation.
On my old Windows Mobile 6 devices, I had no problems with MS Voice Commands and Bing being recognized after the first try (the way it should be). With my Atrix, I am pretty close to giving up on using the voice features because it never gets it right unless I am in a quiet bedroom.
Is there a setting somewhere in the Atrix where I can improve the voice recognition accuracy? In Windows Mobile, I could disable the auto mic gain adjustment to get excellent results from MS Voice Command. I have done the training twice for the Google recognition engine. It's not any better.
Mostly, I use voice commands in the car to search or return text messages. I even turn off the air conditioning and roll up the windows and have the radio off.
I wonder, does the same voice issue that plagues Skype also affect the voice recognition apps?
That would certainly explain why it wouldn't be working.

Not familiarwith the Skype issue. The voice recognition works, but it just isn't very accurate...making them next to useless. It's really a chore to get Atrix to understand anything properly.
Okay, probably not then. The problem with Skype is that it takes the mic input as horrendously loud static

I haven't had anybody complain during phone calls, but I haven't used SKype either. I think I'm going to play around with a voice recording app to see what my voice sounds like through the mic. Maybe there is an optimum distance I should be when using voice recognition. The Atrix Bing app seems to do an excellent job at voice recognition. This leads me to believe that Google and Vlingo just aren't that good yet.
I know there have been complaints of voice calls through the Atrix making you sound like you're in a tunnel. I actually experience this issue. It doesn't make talking impossible, but it does make it a little more difficult. However, I have also heard that some people don't have the issue, so that could be your case, and perhaps Google and Vlingo are indeed not very good D:
Hi guys,
I use my Nexus 4 in conjunction with a first gen Sena SMH10 for listening to music, Navigation via Google Maps & taking calls. I have a few simple desires to make it operate just so, but I don't know how to make these things work or if it's even possible out of the box.
Google Navigation should either always be on top or allow the phone app to show the caller ID and then return to focus afterwards without prompt or user intervention
Google voice search should work repeatedly for multiple queries without having to exit the app each time. I have to use a third party app (bluetooth launch) to call it using the voice command button on my Sena over the voice dialler app anyway which would be OK but it only seems to work for calling one person and then freezes on that screen.
The reason for the both requests is that I don't want to have to pull pver to get the phone to be back on the Navigation view each time something interrupts the app. The screen will go blank if either I call someone or someone calls me during Navigation and then won't come back sfter the call without me pulling over to sort it out. Pulling over, taking my gloves off and fumbling around through the plastic of the holder I have is a pain and these functions above are quite easy to achieve I'm sure but may need some more customisation than I have the dev skills for. Or perhaps it can't be done without Google's intervention? I don't know but I posted here as it's the forum most likely to have someone who does!
Thanks in advance for your help!
Google Now?
Yep - it's the most reliable for its ability to recognise what I'm asking when riding at 60 or 70MPH. I tried Vlingo but it just doesn't have the same recognition quality when compared to Google Now.
