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.
I just got my Nexus 7 yesterday. I'm having a ball with it ... 4.2 is a giant step up from the 2.3 I have on my phone. One glitch so far: If I go into Google Now, I can say "Google" to initiate a voice search ... but only once. It'll do the search (and the voice recognition is surprisingly good), but when I say "Google" again - either on the results page or after returning to the main Google Now page - it doesn't react. If I close Google Now and restart it, it'll react to the word again (but again only once). Is this how it's working for everyone else?
Got a new version of Search from Play and it's working now.
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.?
I thought it'd be nice to build a list of apps to disable when picking this up stock from Verizon. Here's my list so far and I'd be happy to compile any additional ones others feel can be safely disabled.

Added more to the list, that is a huge amount of bloat removed and seems to be running fine without it! Definitely seems much more stock Android as well.
Good thread but quick question pls. I see many of you are disabling the hot spot. One of the top things i use is the a hot spot for my daughters homework while in the car and such. Is there a secondary hot spot youre using?
Thx

Not that I know of, but if you need it, just don't disable it
The idea here is to get to stock Android, then perhaps enable the things you needed from Verizon.
I'm a little shocked anyone would disabled the moto features. I guess this thread is about the most stock experience. But if the moto apps were on the market, & I was rocking a nexus. I would still have it downloaded lol
Yeah I may still re-enable some of those.
Also disabled the Camera app and installed the Google Camera. No reason to have two
I have disabled most of these apps. Now I can not answer my phone when it rings. The phone rings, but no animation comes up to let me swipe or any way to choose to answer it. What have I disabled/changed that would cause this? Every thing else seems to work fine.

Post your list and maybe we can figure it out. My guess is maybe you only disabled some of the Motorola specific ones? I have the full list as advertised in the first post and have no prob answering from a screen off.
Sorry, I was unable to post them. I did go into settings and enabled every one that I had disabled with my wife periodically calling me. I also randomly turned the phone off and on a few times. Still nothing. The phone rings, but the answering icon does not appear and I can not answer. Is there another way to answer the phone? Could I have turned something off that would affect this or maybe download an app?
I just went into recovery and wiped the cache partition, reboot. This did not fix the problem. Don't know what else to try? I'm thinking it is something simple. I will take it into Version tomorrow.
That's really strange. Maybe it wasn't related to the disabling?
Possibly. I've been trying to remember what I may have done. I received a call yesterday morning just fine. Yesterday afternoon, I received a call and could not answer it because I do not get the answer phone icon. Most of the time in between those two calls, I was driving and not messing with the phone. ?

Wow. That's a lot. Update on my problem. I took the phone into Verizon this morning. The lady that helped thinks I probably uninstalled something to cause this.
What she did to fix the the problem was to do a complete default wipe.
That seems to have resolved it.
It was working properly when I left the store. In now I'm the process of restoring all my apps. That takes a little while.

Glad you were able to get it working.

That's strange, because you can't really uninstall anything, only disable.
itanas, wow that's a big list. I think some are stock Android apps, so that's cool that you can disable them, but I don't know that it gets us the pure Android.
I'll note for anyone reading that I re-enabled the Moto, Moto Activity, and Moto Display apps so I could have the notifications back (since this phone has no notification LED w/the stock software).
Also updated the first post with Camera.

Has any one tired this yet?
I've been into recovery, but just wiped the cache partitions.

I saw an article today on Android Central which explained various features of Assistant on Pixel phones.
I couldn't find "My Day" feature in 6P. Anyone knows if that feature is pixel exclusive?

Feature is there on mine...after hitting the three dots > settings I have a "My Day" card that I can click to change settings just like the article indicates. Running latest PN w/ Assistant enabled via the "Get Assistant - Root" app on the play store.
I am using the same Get Assistant Method on 7.1.1. Can it be region specific ?
Mine shows just below my account name.

I think you'd need to set a calendar event to show the summary of your day.
Which google app version are you on ?
Recently update my moto G4 plus to android nougat 7.0. This updates has great feature including multi-window mode, Doze mode, battery saver, Google Assistant, System UI tuner and more. But in this tutorial, I will show you how to use Google Assistant My Day feature in your Google pixel & Pixel XL, Moto G4 plus, Nexus 6P/6, Galaxy S7 and other nougat devices.
This Assistant My Day feature includes settings of weather, home & work location, meeting, reminders and news related informations. Complete details of Google Assistant My Day. It will definitely help to understand all Assistant My Day settings. If you find it helpful, share with others.
