[Q] Which mod has best voice control?

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.?

[Q] Android Wear: Temporarily disabling Voice Actions/Voice. Is it possible?

I've had my Gear Live for a couple of days now, and it works great I love it. The only exception is when I'm doing my work outs. When I'm out running I use wired head phones (no built-in mic) and listed to music through the Google Play Music app. What I find really annoying is that during my runs my music pauses because my Gear Live constantly activates the Voice Actions/Voice Search function. "It thinks I'm saying "OK Google."" So in the end, I find myself turning off the watch instead of looking down at it every couple seconds to dismiss the Voice Actions screen. So my question is, does anyone know how to temporarily turn off the Voice Actions/Voice Search functions in Android Wear?

This has also already been answered. Simply "mute" the watch, this will deactivate the wrist gesture to light up the screen and therefore also deactivate the listening for "ok google". The search function is your friend.

Thanks

Thanks, much appreciated. I did not realize it was as simple as that.

Seems Like I'm Missing S-Voice

I seems like I'm missing S-Voice on my new Note 3 KitKat. It doesn't show in Application Manager under All. I believe that S-Voice is a local voice command app? It appears on my phone, the only thing it has is Google Now pre-installed, and used everywhere except Bluetooth dialing where it must be using something else with no data connection, or maybe S-Voice is used for that, but it is hidden. I've been Googling and trying to figure out the relationship between S-Voice and the phone and Google Now and the phone, and if you can select one or the other at will or what. Does anybody know?
Thanks!

[Q] Disable Android Wear Voice Recognition

I newly have a Moto 360 and I don't like that a) anybody shouting 'Ok, Google' next to my watch will enable voice listening, and b) that music playback stops once voice listening starts, e.g. when accidentally tapping the watchface.
Is there a way to just disable voice commands and let the watch just use tapping, swiping, and all this?

Yes this is a annoying behavior. If you put the wear device in flight mode nothing else will work. Even the time display will be wrong after some time. Because I didn't found a solution I've coded myself a little app which mutes the microphone, and disables the speech recognition:
Ups, Im not allowd to post a link. Simply search the play store for "mute wear mic"
have fun

Sorry, disregard post...

Sorry that I answer late.
I would see it the same way as the person in the single review on Google Play — I would not trust this app, I would not even install it.
In the last time I'm more and more looking for Open Source software.
I really want to know what an app does.
So, as your app is not even a paid app, and a very small one, grab some non-copy license and post your source code, then I'll happily try your app.

Anyway to use Google Assisstant/ Google Now offline to command HU?

Hello, I wanted to know if someone never thinked about the use of the voice to control the HU?
Example: You're driving but you want a special song, all you have to do is "Ok Google play "TITLE" from "ARTIST" " and Google automatically the correct song.
Example 2: "Ok Google go to "DESTINATION" with Tomtom"
The first one is already working online but offline it doesn't work.
I wanted to know if someone already tried to make it work without connection. (Maybe with Tasker ? "android.media.action.MEDIA_PLAY_FROM_SEARCH" intent?)
Thanks !
