Does anyone know how to replace the Motorola voice search with the Froyo 2.2 Google default voice search. I used the Google one on my nexus one and it is much, much better than the Motorola version.
Thanks for any help.
Do you mean the double tap home button action?
If so, go to Settings > Application Settings > Double tap home launch
Then scroll down to Voice Search
No, I mean when you have a bluetooth headset on and press the button it launches the Moto voice app. I'd like it to launch the google voice command program.

It works fine with 2.2. Actually I believe the Moto version worked with 2.1. It's just slow and not as accurate as the 2.2 built in google version.
There seems to be no way to change the default voice choice. I've thought about deleting the moto voice to see if I could then use the google but haven't yet.
I believe the Nexus One/Droid has an additional APK that allows this. VoiceDial or something like that.
I'd rather use the google one instead of the slow, limited Nuance Motorola version.

No, the Nexus One brings up the same voice search application that you can get from the market and launch manually. It's just set up so that it also launches when you hit your bluetooth button. Seems like there should be some way of changing which program is default for voice search.
OK... I think there is mucho confusion about programs here.
Voice Command = program from Nuance. This currently launches when you long press the dial button on the bluetooth headset. It DOES support input from the Bluetooth headset. This program has a limited/specific command set.
Voice Search - the default Android program. Can be activated by Long pressing the search button (hardware key). It was updated in the 2.2 release (I think you can also download the latest version via market). It DOES NOT support input from bluetooth. This too has a limited command set, but anything outside of it's commands will be launched as a web search.
I think what we are after here is for 'Voice Search' to be the default app launched when Long-Press Bluetooth is issued.
My point was that Voice Search doesn't support BT input. But I wish it did.

Once again, In 2.2 the "Voice Search" app by Google works with bluetooth. I have it currently working on my nexus one. Please see http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.2-highlights.html#PlatformTechnologies
All I'm trying to figure out is when I long press the bluetooth button on my headset that it launch Google's "Voice Search" application versus Motorola's built in Voice Search application.

@gchglobal How does Voice Search work w/ Bluetooth? You mean you can push the the Voice Search on the phone and then speak into your Bluetooth?
If so, are you sure your phone isn't just picking up your voice?

Dont know if anyone realised it but there is a new version of google maps with VOICE SEARCH just go to android market and search for GOOGLE MAPS should be the first app.Also if you have a uk magic with no voice dialing as standard just download the google search by voice app in the market and your all set it also seems to be a lot faster
http://phandroid.com/2009/06/15/updated-google-maps-for-android/
Thanks for that it works like a charm

Download the "google search by voice app" in the market,then watch the video link in my first post to activate
The new update doesn't have Street View. Are they discontinuing the project?
it has streetview im using it now!!
You are right, but it is not an option in the map modes like it was before. You have to long press the map on the location, then a window pops up and there you select street view. Don't really care about that since I am in Canada and there are no street views here yet, at least that is what I think. As for the voice recognition/search function, I do not have that option in the search function. Looked all over the place for it but still can't find it. There is suppose to be a mic beside the google search bar in the Search option. Not there on Rogers Canada network. Hopefully they will fix that soon.

The Roger HTC Magic (I have one) doesn't appear to have libspeech.so installed - I think that is the missing piece. I am not sure why we don't see the google search by voice app that the others are speaking about.
I'm confused why the voice dialer works - I guess that doesn't use libspeech.so?

When you are in Google Maps, do Menu > Search then select the microphone, which will let you do voice search.

It's close to the same hardware - different frequencies or something for the different carriers. The other difference is each carrier can customize the Android OS they release. Rogers in Canada, for example, released their Android phones with MS Exchange support. But they obviously left some other things out. That's why I want to root my phone so I can put whatever software I want on there.

That's the issue - there's no such button. Missing libspeech.so is the culprit here I believe. And while I have the file from other sources, I don't have root access to the phone, so I can't install it to the lib folder to make it work.
What a pain.. when I try to update mine, I get the message:
"Installation Error: Package file was not signed correctly."
Any suggestions?
I installed the new version of maps but I can't find the voice search option, it's just not there (same as previously reported) i'm on vodafone australia.
Any idea how we can get the voice working?
Well I upgraded the Maps app and have the voice search. It's rubbish! I've tried speeking as clearly as possible but it's all over the place. Searching Edinburgh comes back as Dayton, Ohio, USA everytime Typing is much quicker anyway.
New update of Google Map has been released, v3.1.1
I've updated and retried, it's still rubbish.
Ya not sure what v3.1.1 fixes, there is still no voice search here in Canada yet.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=667387
Not available in Canada currently because it only supports English.
found how to get it.. just do a seach on google for "com.google.android.voicesearch.apk" and download and install and it works.. copy it to your SD card to install it.
nevermind it just crashes out. worked on my x10 tho
here this version works
hmm... if you are talking about the Bell version it comes in the stock ROM
it's labelled as "Voice Dialler"
but it is not only voice dialing, when you speak to it, it comes back with search results for both software and contacts, if you execute either one, it launches the app, or it dials the contact

Earlier today I change the sell code to english and ta-daaa: voice search appeared. I'm actually looking for a way to get rid of it right now
You lose all your data though. So if you're gonna try it, go ahead and back up. I use Titanium back up (I don't love it, though: you have to stay by the phone waiting to give the green like* everytime an app is being re-installed).
EDIT: *light
sell code?...
Hmmm, maybe that's not its name. Anyway: *#272*HHMM# change HHMM for your local time, so if it's 12:30 it should look like: *#272*1230#.
Once there, check the codes http: //samsung-firmware . webs . com / samsunglettercode . htm (remove blanks) and apply the english one.
i get only this page when i google sell code samsung... so i'm not sure if such a thing exist.
anyway the 272 trick doesn't work on my i9000.

Market didn't have "google commands" but it had "voice commands". Voice commands was listed as free but when i clicked on the link it said "not found"
I tried both appbrain and android market.
Anyone have the apk for voice command or google command?
I'm not exactly sure why voice input was removed, probably a combination of the fact that it doesn't support french and also that Samsung stripped out the default android keyboard (which has the microphone button) and replaced it with 2 far superior keyboards: their own, and swype. I guess that's the one downside of swype is you don't get the voice input button.
However Samsung did include Vlingo for free (I'm aware that Vlingo has since become free for all phones since the updated google voice commands were announced for froyo). Vlingo is actually far better than the google voice input (at least for 1.5-2.1) as it gives you commands as well as the text entry. You can also setup the Vlingo keyboard which is essentially the stock Android 2.1 keyboard including the mic button.
From what I can tell it detects words just as well as the google service. Vlingo lets you put widgets of any size (1x1 to full screen) so this kinda makes up for the missing mic button on the google search widget.
I would imagine when the 2.2 update comes out we will have the google function back with multi language support and commands!
well Nirvana388 beat me to it, i was going to recommend Vlingo as well

Thanks, but Vlingo requires internet right? My old phones had voice recognition without the requirement of internet.
Ravi84m suggested "google commands" because it doesn't require internet??
I moved from Iphone this spring. I am using MDOB now. Samsung Svoice never seems to get my voice commands right; can't find the right contact and totally gets my music voice commands wrong. For example, always thinks I'm asking for "back" when I say "beck"-- the only thing in my library.
Siri was an order of magnitude better at all this. Google is better at general voice recognition, but doesn't work with AT&T/Samsung. I tried and get a google dialer popup and it won't control the Samsung music app.
Should I go to Google Edition? Will Google correctly work over bluetooth headset for music and calls? Is it more accurate than Svoice?
Help!

When you refer to "Google is better at general voice recognition, but doesn't work with AT&T/Samsung.", what specifically are you referring to? I use Google Now and it's voice recognition and it works perfectly fine for me? Google Now is integrated in the new Google app. You can also access it from holding the menu haptic button.
Google Now does not control anything. Does not control music, texting, etc. on a Samsung/ATT device.
So my question, and I guess this is the wrong place to ask it since nobody seems to know here, is will AOSP or plain vanilla google ROMs do as good a job as Siri at controlling music via bluetooth headphones, texting, etc. etc.?
[WorkAround FIX] Loud! Prompt from Google (Voice) Search & Dialing over Bluetooth.

This works on 444: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/themes-apps/dragon-mobile-assistant-alternative-to-t2857730
I got an X DE & now on Eclipse ROM there is consistent volume!
Disable Google Search from settings>app>all apps.
Install the attached apk. You must launch it one time to get it to listen your headset.
I use a Jawbone ERA 'streak 2 (the tiny one).
So much for the full set of Voice controlled accoutrements.
Seems no more soak tests are done by Motorola/Google.
Does Mo-'toro-la browse XDA?
Uhh isn't this the same as installing the "Voice Search" APK from the Play store?
What functionality do we lose by using this instead of Google Search?
Would you rather lose additional features or deal with a lower BT volume?

I have no choice, the BT tone is that loud. But I have not had the time to determine the losses. I guess I have voice dialing only.

I am on a Galaxy S8 and Android 7.0.
Following this guidance, http://lifehacker.com/how-to-create-custom-voice-commands-with-tasker-and-aut-1282209195, I installed Tasker and AutoVoice. Google app already installed. I enabled Autovoice accessibility service and AutoVoice Google Now integration.
OK Google is enabled on all screens.
However, when I say "OK Google, use Autovoice" Google consistantly comes back with "It looks like your AutoVoice account is not linked yet." How do I do this?
When I run AutoVoice Testing with my trigger words, they work. I have another 6.0 Android device where all this (Tasker, Autovoice, Google Now) works seamlessly.
Is there some other step required for S8 / Android 7.0 go get AutoVoice integrated with Google Now?

There is a difference between using the Google now voice search and using Google assistant. The running service is for Google now. The screenshot you posted is of Google assistant, in which you have to be apart of the Google + community for the app in order for it to work.
If you're just looking for basic usage, use Google now voicesearch and not Google assistant

Thank you very much! This is the first clue I've been handed to the source of my problem. You are right. On my px5 head unit, there are no settings for Google Assistant. On my S8, there are. However, I don't know why they are there, or how to disable Google Assistant without disabling OK Google. When I disable GA and speak "OK Google", it immediately asks me to turn GA back on to respond. Do you know how I can resolve this? Again, thanks!

I'm having fun, and pulling my hair out, just trying to get this going right now. At least twice this week I was in my car (head unit not installed yet) and really wanted to send time sensitive messages on my s8 using Google Voice. I don't text and drive, religiously. But being able to say "google voice text so-and-so" would have been quite useful.
One last, final question: I've been learning tasker/autovoice on a rooted px5. Just got this galaxy s8 and, of course, it's not rooted. Looks like I shell commands a lot in my profiles, particularly "input keyword" and "input text".
So, if I want to send %avcommnofilter as response to app, do you recommend autoinput for that?

FINALLY! This is how you link AutoVoice (or any 3rd party app) to Google Assistant: https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/websearch/HwJUpkrHPr4/xIJACIlEAwAJ
So, you have to say "OK, Google, ask Autovoice to...." followed by your AutoVoice command. Still wish I could just say "OK, Google" then command, but this will do for now.
