Have you seen the new SGS2 commercial, taking a stab at Apple again. It shows how you can create an SMS by speaking, similar to Apple Siri. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=a4STej_rWlo
I've been using VLingo to do this, anyone know what App Sammy use for the commercial?
Vibrant on Asgard
Doesn't ics have this built in. Not sure if gs2 has it though

Yes its called voice talk. Powered by vlingo. Nice function about it is you can tap the top of your phone to activate it when in the app.

Does it really write as you speak or it first records your voice then write, as voice search does?
Like i say text so and so where are you and it sends them the text. After you confirm recipient and content of course.

the stock voice to text for ICS does this auto, and its as you speak, not after.
not sure if its compatible or has been ported to lower firmware versions.
I'm on the ICS ROM and yea, it types as you speak. Its alright at getting most of the words correctly. If it doesn't you can tap to show other options. Sometimes tho I have had a 'cannot connect to server' error. But I guess that's a problem that's on my part. Overall I'm impressed.

We've had Speech To Text since the beginning. I talk out texts in the car (only at red lights) all the time. You can voice search in Maps too. What's the difference? Type as you speak? So?
Its a marketing gig to get the drones to buy their product, and justify "v4" vs. "v5"....id be willing to bet that 85% of the people who have the new iphone played around with it for about a week or so, and once they showed it off to all of their friends, stopped using it completely.
hardly new tech... windows.machines have been able to do s2t since XP and I have voice input on my standard built in keyboard using gingerbread

Does anyone know or can recommend an app the lets you send/receive SMS & MMS with the Thrive over Wifi?

I have been using Heywire for sms. It does not do mms but it is excellent for sms. The person you send the message to doesn't need to have Heywire installed.

you can try texttab. What it does is connect thru Bluetooth to your phone, and receives any SMS your phone gets and sends them to your thrive. Which you can reply and send on your thrive once your paired up.
TexTab worked awesome on mine! I absolutely love that program. Thanks for the head's up on that app. Definitely worth paying for it...
I have google voice and I have loved being able to text from any browser, including the thrive's browser. Especially if you're on sprint for your mobile servce, I would strongly recommend setting up google voice.

Sprints decision to work in collaboration with google voice makes it this way. I have Sprint and love them for this. A friend of mine is having trouble figuring out how to send google voice sms from his Thrive since he is on TMobile tho.
I use DeskSMS, I started using it over month ago and the fact it actually syncs with my contacts on my phone rather they have Google Voice or any other service makes it IMO the best app there for texting over wifi without having to jump between phone numbers. Especially for those of us that didnt want to lose our MMS capability by completely syncing with Google Voice.
I tried DeskSMS for a little while and it works ok. I stopped using it because Google Voice Canadian numbers are still not available. Hopefully I will use DeskSMS again once Canadian Google voice numbers are available.
Rogers Wireless use to offer wifi calling and text for consumer however this option is no longer compatible with my current plan with them so I had to improvise.
I`ve also tried textplus which work very well and you can get a Canadian number by
paying a monthly fee.

I was using Google navigation this am, and I suddenly got a different voice giving directions. It was a more natural sounding female voice. It flipped to the Google voice for a couple series of directions, and then it was back to the new voice.
I haven't installed any other tts, and I checked my default to confirm it was Google.
Anyone else?
There is a backup recorded voice, that gives indistinct directions, won't read street names etc. But the gs3 has a rather good voice I've only been able to hear in navigation. I use svox classic with UK Victoria voice, best I've heard, but it's flaky with the license checking in (I assume, it just fails to be recognized 30% of the time.)
And I get the super ****ty one.
But if I could get the s3 to work with a British accent (I feel it just sounds less robotic) I could ditch svox.

FYI, I've got the same thing on my GNex. I just noticed it the other day for the first time. It's not that big of a deal to me, but I just thought I'd give you a heads up that it's not just the GSIII.
So is it Google trying to update from gingerbread?
Gingerbread tts was a big improvement from the old pico robot.
The new voice is very natural, but it's also softer.
I was noticing this too yesterday using Google navigation. I was using it through my cars blue tooth and it started with a quiet male voice, but then switched to a loud female voice and it surprised me.

No, it's the offline navigation voice, set it to airplane mode or yank the Sim and it should do the same thing, haven't tested it though.

naw I dont think so.. this was the latest Google Nav/Maps update the new voice is even on my GS2 with ICS on it.
I also had this happen on my GSII (Sprint). Mid-trip it switched to a more natural females voice; it does still read street names and stuff. Hopefully she will stick around, she sounds way sexier than the previous beezy.
I'm getting it too, on my EVO 3D. It seems to be that they are upgrading the voice, but it hasn't rolled out to everyone, and still has gaps in what it can say. I don't know if it's the same "more natural voice" that Jelly Bean has or not, but it sounds similar to me. I just hope they flesh it out to say everything, because the changeover between new and old voices is startling!
I use Ivona voice with Amy the female UK voice. Ever since I've tried it I've never used anything else. She sounds like a real person. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivona.tts

While this post sounds like an ad, I can definately vouch for ivona voices, they sound much more natural than svox, are free, and don't flake out on you. I personally love em and until Google now's beautiful voice comes along, I'll either use stock sexy voice that comes on and off that's being discussed, or ivona

I just downloaded ivona from the play store.. I like that you get choices of the different women's voices. I chose Amy, she has a British accent. Sounds classy! I almost went with the Australian women, she's my second favorite. I'm glad I found this application. Thanks for the information yall!

Google apparently has a new TTS engine that they claim has a very natural, conversational voice.

yeah thats the problem everyone has been having
I'm surprised there's not more activity on this. Has anybody looked into exactly what it would take to get this working on a non-AOSP build? Or is this just such uncharted territory that we don't know where to start? I'm obviously no dev, but I would assume we'd probably be able to get this working prior to getting an actual Jell Bean build stable on our devices. Hell, I'd buy a beer for the person or people that can get this working!
Got it on my Atrix running CM9. Running nice even without voice search. You can still use your keyboards voice search.

Every time I launch it I get a "Network Settings" error [which doesn't seem to be service effecting(except that it closes the google header and only brings up the text box)], and it won't allow me to use my keyboard's voice input (Stock AOKP keyboard). It will pull up info cards and set reminders and such, but it's not quite as flawless as all the review videos I've seen.
Hey guys, just thought I should check in. Seems like this forum is beginning to die. Has anyone got any new things that they would like me to test on my continuum?

Well I don't think it does use stock dialer at all. Stock dialer uses verizons ish. Groove has its own operations and google voice to call and text just uses voice. I'm pretty sure u can take out the dialer and just use groove and voice

Also thought I should share my nifty sms app I have been using.
It's called ninja sms and I got it for 1$ at the play store and I love it. Should check it out of you text quite a bit and don't want to continuously change between apps. It allows the sms to come up on the screen. Kind of like multi boxing on the s3

My lcuid 2 has that ability where the text will pop up and allow me to respond, delete or view without leaving the app. It is a super awesome feature.
Yeah I wish my dna had it stock but ninja sms is good for me.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Does ninja have a character count? My pop-up has a character limit, if I go into the native messaging app I can type as much as I want and it will break it into multiple messages, the pop up only allows for a single message response. I haven't decided if I like that or not. I guess it really depends on I can use that to tweet.
When I text I can send more than 120 characters and on my screen it only sends as one message. You could try it out and always refund if you don't like it.

Yeah just took a look at it and sent a large message and it sent as one huge message and didn't split into different messages. You can view a text that is more than 160 characters as long as it was sent as one big message. I don't believe it has a limit. As far as I can tell it doesn't split it up.

So I really like the way ubuntu looks. Since my dna is locked and I have no access to unlock or root the phone via software method all I can do is jtag, however I'm not going to do that so I can't flash anything. Since I love the way ubuntu looks I decided to theme my phone after it using a launcher and a ton of custom widgets. Here is what I came up with.

Jokes aside, yes a cell phone would be better.
According to some, VOIP programs can have shotty call quality (for both you and the person you're speaking to). But if you're hell bent on it, there's an app that takes advantage of google voice (free) that has ads (pro version = no ads), and isn't that bad for just the ads. Link here
As for text, i believe many people use whatsapp but I've personally never used it, so I'm not sure how it works or if it will work in the way you're intending / interested in.
Hope that helps some.
