This is a short movie I made demonstrating the intelligent features of the Samsung Galaxy S3 in a possible real life scenario!
S Voice, Smart stay, Smart alert, Direct call and Social tag, all packed in a short movie (7:31")
A boy and a girl communicate to set a date! What's the funny/sexy part? hint: strawberry-banana
Special thanks to Litsa for being in this video with me!
I named my film "Strawberry-Banana" some people get it, some don't!
Will you?
Did you?
Not bad. I actually liked it. But it shows some flaws of smart stay. It recognises that you look at it but still screen wents off.
PS: I didn't get the one with the banana or maybe I did get it if I'm right. But that would be bad too.

Nicely done, you seem to have some experience in making movies.
Also, I learned a bit more about S Voice and how to use it.
Kinda sad, I kept wondering whether the phone display needs to be turned on to speak to S Voice, the video confirms this. At least now I know.
Thanks guys!
Askannon12, if you mean @ 4:00 it is not a flaw of smart stay. The "eye" pops out to check! It checks that there is no one looking so it turns off the screen!
Landorin the phone display needs to be turned on to speak to S Voice, otherwise it would consume a lot of battery because it would be in "listening mode" all the time!
I tried the camera one where you say "cheese" and it takes a picture automatically but it won't. Is there a setting for it that I need to change/activate?

Yes! Settings->Language and input. There you must activate "Voice cmd for apps" and in this option everything must be checked.
You can also do many thing with voice commands as you will see. As answer voice calls, play, pause music and more.
And the most important thing is that you can do all of these (voice commands) WITHOUT an internet connection!

love this feature, I normally shout 'action' instead of 'cheese' though.
The best thing about this feature is you can switch it to the self portrait cam and give it to someone.
omg!

hehe
nice vid.
---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------
there are voice commands that don't need svoice to be enabled just enable voice commands and check all options.
few examples are:
when using camera just say "shoot" to take a shot.
when someone is calling your phone, say "answer" to answer and "reject" to reject the call.
from that vid, i learned stop and snooze for alarm. in turn i'm reminded of another not so well known new feature and it's smart alarm.
the description says, sound will start quietly a few minutes early and slowly increase in volume. so it basically is like the increasing ringtone.
lols and i do get what strawberry-banana meant, hehe it's because the op asked the girl "that" question. hehehehe
me and my gf don't want to use casings.
btw, this vid is better than some of samsung's and that recent u.s. company's vids.
because some of their vids are easy to understand, but the rest can only be understood by only those who already know that certain feature.
this one is pretty clear and people can relate to since what they're doing is pretty much what people would do in their normal lives.
thanks.
Nicely done, though i have freezed s-voice.
If you liked this video maybe you'll like my previous (smaller) video which demonstrates the "smart stay" feature of the Galaxy S3 with examples that has happen to all of us! don't miss the bloopers video link at the end!

As you might have heard, Google held a press conference last week. Out of it came this little gem. Google Voice Actions, not to be confused with “Google Voice” Actions, improves tremendously on Android voice commands, which to say the least, were near non-existent. You were pretty much just limited to doing a google search or inputting text in a text box. Not anymore, with Google Voice Actions, you’ll be able to issue a plethora of commands to your Android phone. I have to say, this is WAY better than on the iPhone.
Google Voice Acions Commands, Video Demo, and Download
Nothing I didn't know but its a good showcase of the capabilities.
Suck on them apples Steve jobs
I was amazed and bewildered by how HORRIBLE the HTC voice command was in the beginning, especially considering how great google voice search worked.
I've been using the new one a lot the last few days and I am equally amazed by how GREAT the new version works!
ba ba ba ba ba, I'm lovin it!
Just remember that you have to be connected to the internet in order for the voice commands to work, they use the google voice servers. While they are fast as hell and work amazingly fast even over a 1x connection, if you have no network, you have no google voice actions.

Ah, the Achilles heel of Google's voice interaction. Though I have to say, there are very few times when I am out of signal, so I guess going forward, its not going to be so bad. What really sucks is there are a lot of great apps that don't work out of service, like Google Sky Map.

Completely agree. In the next couple of years, carriers are really gonna have to kick it up a notch in fast network coverage, otherwise they're just going to hold back development.
On that note, poor, poor T-Mobile users. They're cross country coverage suckssss
Any way to change what program it uses?
Hello All,
I've d/l the app and while I agree its a step up form previous voice search options, I'm not liking the fact that "listen to" doesn't seem to point to any other program besides Pandora (Pandora's sound quality can't compete with my collection on the SD card of the phone).. has anyone figured out a way to change what program Google voice uses to play music when you select "listen to:"?
Thanks

Where do you get this? On im the .6 rooted, but when I try any of the new commands I get nothing. I tried searching the market to see if I was missing something, and didnt find anything.

Yeah... I'm blind. I watched the video, I just missed the download.
Sorry if this is the wrong place but:
What's the difference between the S-Voice from the S4 and Google Now?
I watched sum comparison videos on youtube, but they seem a little bit inaccurate. For example, it said that "google voice" can't open apps, but it can on my Nexus 4.
S voice is Samsung's own personal assistant developed for Galaxy devices . I guess it has been used in GS3, Note 2 and GS4 as well.
Google Now is vast new concept started by Google. It's more than just a personal assistant. It's like improved version of Google Voice..
for ex. if you are entering any highway, GN will warn about traffic
you are entering into a tube station, GN will alert you about the next trains lined up..
Google voice can certainly open apps.
Google now is better .S voice sucks that's the difference. Half the time s voice doesn't function right or gets s##t wrong that you ask for.

S-Voice is like another apps on Samsung Device that begins with "S", and i prefer to put S as Silly except Samsung
Silly apps that u can find all of them for free in play store but samsung preinstall them on galaxies device!!! on Android OS that it has its own preinstalled apps......................!
of course Google Now is better.
Ok, this is turning into a fanboys sort of thread.
Back to the OPs question:
Essentially, theyre the same thing. Its like iOS' Siri versus Google Now, theyre both designed to do the same things but by different companies
And S-Voice is part of a proprietary framework called Touchwiz, so it can only be installed on devices running a Touchwiz ROM. Google now on the other hand, relies on no underlying framework and so could be installed on any Android device, as long as the Android version supports it
thx for the reply. The reason i ask this question is i installed S Voice on my Nexus 4 from here: http://www.sammobile.com/2013/03/26/samsung-galaxy-s-4s-s-voice-apk-now-available-to-download/
Is there any reason to have both? I just downloaded it for fun.
With further testing, it seems like the Google now can't open sum apps. Such as PPSSPP, CloudOn, Office Suite, and GTA Vice City. While S voice.apk from the S4 can do this and can do stuff like "turn off wifi" and "turn on bluetooth".

Not really, just use whichever is best for what you do, no point in really having 2 of the same sort of utility app
And obviously one will have more features than the other, it just depends on which features are most important to the user
Question, did the s-voice install properly and isnt giving you any force close issues? Strange because I was sure it would rely on the Touchwiz framework

I used it for a day then got the network connection error also. Samsung (actually Vlingo/Nuance) reads the incoming device ID and blocks the connection if it's a mismatch with the device ID the app's intended to work with. Same thing happened when people were using bootleg copies of the SGS3's S Voice APK before it was released.
As for S Voice vs. Google Now I use S Voice more. To send a text message for example, Google Now opens up the recipient from the address book but you can't dictate the message, at least not from within Google Now. Same thing with e-mail. Dialing's also kind of clunky where if there are multiple options for your request you have to pick one manually. S Voice also repeats the number back before dialing where Google Now just dials and can miss digits you dictate pretty easily. Using a BT headset you can pretty much completely accomplish things hands free with S Voice while quite a few require a second manual action with Google Now.
Here are some examples
If you're in an app like the browser you also can't get Google Now to launch from the menu key because it's now serving the open application and doesn't recognize the "long press" command to open Google Now. Some people have disabled S Voice and remapped the home key to either Google Search or Voice Dialer. S Voice allows you to post to FB and Twitter too. Also, a lot of Google Now's neatest features (flight departure, package shipping, etc.) require you to use Gmail because Google's servers scrape your messages looking for pertinent data. I don't use Gmail and don't like the idea of Google's servers searching my data, even with my permission so to anyone not exclusively on Gmail certain feature don't mean very much.
Voice controls are also tied to S Voice. I use them pretty frequently; especially with the camera, music player, and to launch apps from the lock screen by voice.
I played with Google Now for a short time when I got my N2 so if it's improved or I'm being too hard on it someone speak up.

It's being blocked because the device ID from the APK you downloaded doesn't match the device ID the server's reading from the actual device.
I love Samsung devices but I can't stand S voice. Unless there has been MAJOR improvement over the S3's/Note2 S voice I will still dislike it. First thing I do when I set up my Galaxy phones is disable it and get rid of the home button delay.
I think google now is better, faster, much more accurate and much more unique ( S voice is a clear copy of Siri).

Yup. HTC Speak is on its way as well.
I've been trying to figure this out since I got the phone, I need some help. How do you wake up the phone while the screen is off using voice?
I turned "voice wake up" on in the svoice settings but it doesn't work. Some people say this was never a feature but apps like "S for switch voice" claim it's a working feature.
It would be awesome if anyone can help,
Thanks

I just chatted with Samsung live chat thing. They said it is a feature
"Alastair: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
Visitor: Hi, can you explain to me how to get my Galaxy S5 to wake up while the screen is off using S voice?
Alastair: I understand that you require information how to wake up the device using S Voice. Is that correct?
Visitor: yes
Alastair: Thank you for confirming.
Alastair: May I know the model number of the device? You may find it in Applications>Settings>General>About Device. You can also find the model number beneath the Phone's battery. Generally model number starts with SGH,SPH,SCH,GT or SM.
Visitor: SM-g900v
Alastair: Thank you for the model number.
Alastair: I would like to inform you that you need to say "Hello Galaxy" to wake up the device.
Visitor: can i do this while the screen is off?
Alastair: Yes, the device will wake up when the screen is off."
After a long chat, and factory resetting, they recommended me to return it to Verizon. Still cant get it to work
Guess I will wait and see if this problem is addressed by Samsung, or if the Samsung live chat person has no idea what they are talking about.
I can't get S Voice to wake up at all - Ok Google works fine for Google Now but the default wake up command and my custom wake up command are doing nothing to wake up S Voice.
I'm glad I see no point to S Voice considering the robustness of Google Now.
I'm having same issue, s voice won't wake phone no matter what. I figured eh whatever cause google now is awesome:thumbup:

I don't mean to bump this thread but I figured it out if anyone is interested.
Turn on Car mode then exit out (make sure you still have the steering wheel notification in the status bar). Now you can say "hi galaxy" whenever.
What makes this good is that you can download "S for switch voice" app on the play store. That opens Google Now instead of Svoice. Works just like a Moto X now

I thought would ask on this thread to keep the spam down.
Can this svoice wakeup thing be achieved now that we have root? I mean the function is already there with car mode, but maybe someone could strip down the car mode to have it only wake up with voice, and not mess with Bluetooth or restrict minimum volume.
I know this requires more work then I can imagine and is probably pretty low on anyone's priority list, but if anyone could tell me how to do it or link me to a fix, that would be awesome.

No root, no need to download or install anything.
This work for other devices as well as the Note 4. This enables the Google now "Ok Google" Feature where you can active Google now while the screen is off. This is something like the Moto X feature.
How To:
1) Open Google Now
2) Go to Google Now Settings
3) Click on "Voice"
4) Enable "Audio History"
5) Click "Ok Google Detection"
6)Click "Always on" and follow the remaining directions.
You Can also watch this How To Video if you want:
If you device is unsupported or it just wont work, then there is an app called "Open Mic+ for Google Now" which does this for you.
This also works on the Lg G3, Nexus 5, and Galaxy S5, from what I know. Please feel free to try other devices and let me know if they work as well.

Yes I do find it creepy. I also found that Google Now doesn't search what I want, maybe that's just me.
It seems I get best results by simple opening Google search and entering one or two words on my topic of interest.
I also do not like that Now is trying to decide what I like or what I would think relevant. Again that's just me.
I turned it off completely. Each to his own!

I've never really figured out if people think that actual people are "listening" to what we say or "reading" our texts and email.
Nobody is. It's all code. . It's not stored and read by others later, it's not information used by human beings. It's simply information used as variables for function calls in the code. The audio the mic picks up is fed into a stack of information blocks in a first in last out method. Each sample in the stack is analyzed, not by words spoken but by the signal analysis of the detected noises. All of the noises are converted to a spectrum via Fourier analysis and then any pattern that matches the expected pattern will trigger the interrupt condition needed to turn the phone on. "Okay jarvis" has a frequency domain spectrum very similar to "okay google", thats why it works too. Any noise the mic picks up that does not match the expected pattern of noises are simply lost.
A similar process is used for email and text parsing. I know this stuff can seem scary and dubious but it's really just basic computing. Everything is converted to 1s and 0s. It's easy to let our imaginations run wild when we don't understand how something works. Imagine turning on a lighter or using a flashlight a few thousand years ago. Those things would be magical, and most likely destroyed on the spot along with the "demon" that had them.

No root, no need to download or install anything.
This work for other devices as well as the Note 4. This enables the Google now "Ok Google" Feature where you can active Google now while the screen is off. This is something like the Moto X feature.
How To:
1) Open Google Now
2) Go to Google Now Settings
3) Click on "Voice"
4) Enable "Audio History"
5) Click "Ok Google Detection"
6)Click "Always on" and follow the remaining directions.
You Can also watch this How To Video if you want:
If you device is unsupported or it just wont work, then there is an app called "Open Mic+ for Google Now" which does this for you.
This also works on the Lg G3, Nexus 5, and Galaxy S5, from what I know. Please feel free to try other devices and let me know if they work as well.

On a side note, if you disable S Voice, this will NOT work. Also, even if you have lock password or fingerprint it will still work.

Yes, I found out the same after disabling S Voice. I have been able to wake the phone up with an "OK, Google" though I must say it hasn't worked consistently.

Hey Guys!
Tasker is really epic, we all know that dont we?
I discovered something epic, and made a tutorial out of it for you all to give it a shot, it works on any android device [It's 2015, get a decent device] it's not restricted to the One.
Why can this be usefull?
Well my friend at The Techolic featured the video on his website, and and mentioned every reason why this is epic!
So do check the article out too!
http://bit.ly/TheTecholic-BlogPost
So what is the tutorial about?
It's simple, suppose you're cycling (using my own example), headphones always on, due to that i miss important notifications, even if i notice that something has come, i have to stop to read the notification, but that irritates me, or moreover takes my average speed , So i used Tasker and Autonotification to make a profile which would work with headphones connected/or not (it's upto you), the profile will speak up all notifications, specially whats app's or texts, for eg. it would say, "New Message from (Contact Name). (Message).
This also works for all of us lazy asses out there, Feeling Lazy to read? or even extend your hand to the table next to you? damn this would do the job for you, speak up the notifications
Let me know how is it, and if you find it usefull, hit on the Thanks meter

Excellent.
For those of us hard of hearing, would you post up the Tasker config file for this and or write up the How To?
Nothing new that is not on Youtube and the multitude of 101 Tasker howto videos. Oh and please don't bump you own posts.... And BTW you don't need anything else than Tasker to do this. You want ot learn more about tasker programming ? Look for
hollywoodfrodo's videos i found it to be one of the best.
