{Fix} for builds that do not have all new voice actions - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

For anyone who was having a problem with certain builds not having all the voice search voice actions like "listen to" or "send text", this is because these extra actions only work when locale is set to united states english. If your build does not have this locale choice, you get it from the more locale app which is in market. First uninstall current Google search & voice search then download more locale 2 and set to united states English and re-install Google searche & voice search. It worked for me so try it out and see.

Text-to-speech (TTS) SMS Reader (like Blue&Me®)

Hi, Folks,
I'm searching for a software to read the incoming SMS like the Blue&Me® by Fiat/Microsoft do.
I've found this app (TellMeText 1.1.0), but it has only one language (US English), and the language file is compiled with the executable app.
Anyone knows a app to do this function and a way to use the Gabriela Voice (Pt-BR) from iGo or something like this?
Thanks in advanced
Microsoft Voice Commander can do what you want (read out SMS), do a search for the cab.
this belongs in the Q&A section
thank you

Google Voice Actions to send a text or email

Been trying to get this to work on my Nexus S, whenever I used the voice search facility to send a text or email, it just took me to the internet search page.
Anyway I am based in the UK and by default my Language is English (UK).
You have to change your default, go to: Settings/Voice input&output/Voice recognizer settings and change your Language to English (US). and it now works perfectly!
Hope this helps...

[fixed] google voice actions

i'm having problems getting most of these to work. if i say "listen to [artist]" then instead of playing, it's off to do a google search for "listen to [artist]"... so is it early days for google voice at the moment? the only one that works for me is "directions to ...", "navigate to..." sometimes works
I thinks its play [artist] bit I believe panadora starts up anyway

yeah, just done some research, and it seems pandora, rdio have the listento command, as to spotify. of course i can't access the first to, and i don't want a premium account for spotify.
after reading about the intent the voice command triggers, it may (albeit with some degree of error) be possible to use voice commands to play local music with a few lines of code!
infact these voice actions DO for me:
Map of (place)
Navigate to (place)
These DO NOT:
go to (website)
note to self (message)
those that do not redirect to google search, not picking up on the keyword trigger I have tried my voice and others too.
haven't tested anything else yet as no sim!
EDIT: after checking the "Help" of the voice actions on the phone, the only voice actions listed are: "navigate to", "directions to", "map of", "call" and "web search"
where are the others?
what a bugger! open voice actions, click menu button, settings, then set the language to english (united states)
those above only work with english (uk)
when english us is chosen, you get more commands available to you. i'd be interested as to know why...

Tested right now. All 4 of those listed work on my Nexus S i9020. Android 2.3.2.
glad you got it
