Voice to text

Hi All,
I'm new to android and have just purchased the Samsung Galaxy S. Can anyone tell me if it has voice to text like the nexus one or desire ?

yes under settings you can enable it.. but app has to support it.

Hmm i can't seem to find it. I want to be able to use speech to text for things like SMS messages.
I can see an app called "Voice Text" in the market - do I need to buy this first ? It's got terrible reviews.

I cannot find it either.
The Nexus One came with a voice recognition keyboard and voice search. Were these Android 2.1 standard or were they specific to the N1?

I want to know as well. I think the Evo's feature on this is great, to speak out a text reply if driving is great.

My guess is they are 2.1 standard (I read voice input EVERYWHERE is a feature). However Samsung have replaced the standard android keyboard with their own, and Swype does not have that feature (yet, I looked it up and they said they will be adding the microphone button very soon)
You may be able to install the default keyboard for android?

Supposedly this is a feature of Android 2.1, but for some reason Samsung seems to have left it out.
I purchased Better Keyboard, which allows you to enable the mic/input button on the keyboard, but when you press it you get an error message that your phone does not have the voice recognition engine installed.
You can use the Samsung Apps on the SGS to install VLingo for free (it's $9.99 in the Market), but you have to use the crappy vlingo keyboard to get the mic button that works.
Very disappointed to see this feature missing from the SGS. Supposedly the SGS version of Swype is getting a mic input button, so I wonder if the newer JWM2 ROM floating around has that in Swype and includes voice recognition.

Edit: this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712100 has a link to a working version of the voice search. I've installed it and it works.
Some are reporting that installing Google Search by Voice from the Market corrects this issue. I can't validate since that app doesn't show in the Market on either my Nexus One or my Galaxy S.

Ultimate Translator

Dear android devs,
Please make an app that uses a combo of speech to text and google translations, and than it reads back out. I.e say hello in english into phone, user selects eng-spanish, phone says hola

Umm, that already exists. Its called Google Translate. If the speech input option is not present, you need to install Voice Search from the Market.

Google Voice Search always doing web search (Google Now)

Hi,
I am rooted and running Glazed ICS 1.1.1 on my Nexus 7...
I just can't get Google Voice Search to answer any of my command by something else than a Google Search. For example, if I ask "What's the weather like in Miami" it simply search Google for "What's the weather like in Miami".
Any idea?
Thanks!

I had the same problem, just go to settings, language and input and change it to English (US version), than go to voice search, language and change it also to English (US version), than go to tech-to-speech output, than Google tech- to- speech setting and change also to english(US version)
Hope I could help

Hi,
I'm also interested in the answer.

How do I get continuous voice input to work?

Hello all,
My continuous voice input used to work well with the stock ROM, until I installed Janjan's deodexed lite ROM.
I couldn't find anything in the add-on aroma package for this ROM/
May I know how I can get Google Voice Typing to work?
I installed Google voice search but what I'm looking for it continuous voice input... the one that types as you speak in realtime.
Thanks
