Hi
Has anyone tried this app on the Desire.
Voice Dialer HF
It works on the Nexus One (although you still need to touch the screen as there is no camera button).
My Nexus One has no camera button. How do I start VDHF?
Today, VDHF on the Nexus One may only be started via the icon, since the Nexus One has neither a camera nor a send button. As soon as Google releases an OTA update that activates the Bluetooth "voice activation" feature, we will add support.
It's the closest thing to proper bluetooth voice dialing available at the moment, and since my phone is due to arrive early next week I would be interested if anyone has used this app or will now try it if they didn't know it existed.
Looking foward to receiving feedback.

Is the inibility to download beacuse of the restrictions that are seemingly on the Desire at the moment or is there another reason?

For this issue, you can try button shortcut in the market! you will love that I think ;-)
Anyone on this app.
Is it a copy protected app or is it just not downloadable because it's not compatable. I haven't received my phone yet, and to be honest I am beginning to think I was too hasty in ordering it.
EDIT: INFO from Voice Dialer HF
# I can't buy any paid app from Android Market. I use a Google Hosted Domain.
* We have had reports that users signing up for Google Checkout with a Google Hosted Domain email address (Gmail using your own domain name) may not be able to download paid apps from Android Market. A workaround is to sign up using an email address with a standard Gmail [email protected] account. Discussions here and here.
UPDATE
Okay
I've spoken with the developer and the UK sales of his prodcut is suspended because initial voice recognition results with the product were not good. However when I get my phone he isprepared to let me try. I get the impression that it is tweakable. For me, a product like this is the difference between keeping the phone when it arrives, or returning it.
You should try Choice Dialer. I got it from the market on my Desire. There's a free version which will voice dial. There is also a paid version which lets you play an album or playlist by voice. Works well but still no bluetooth control as no voice activation seems to work by bluetooth. Other problem I had was that I could not choose a single song track by voice as I seem to have too many. Tony, the developer, has not yet yet been able to resolve this for me. Voice dialling isn't perfect but pretty good for me. You must speak clearly though.
Try it.
Choice dialer works fine as long as you set it up to work only as a phone voice dialer.
If you enable also the voice apps it often gets confused.
I have used it only one day but it seems like it can deliver also via BT headset.
fingers are still crossed but so far so good...
Well my experience after 1 hour is quite different.
I have 600 contacts, most with just a mobile number, but some with mob/Home and some with mob/home/work. I would say sucess rate is about 5% at the moment.
I'm also getting
Sorry!
'The application choice dialer free (process com.resounding.choicedialer.free) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.' more often than I get a correct call made. Okay Android OS is new for me, so it's unfair to judge, but this is awful compared to MS Voice Command.

I tried it.
It wouldn't undertand me at all!
Also after dialling it went off and I had to press the phone button to select it again for it to start listening again.
If I have to do that I might as weel just use speed dial..
Maybe I am using it wrong??
Try vlingo.

Choice Dialler Works fine for me even with a slight Welsh accent. Speak slow and it also picks up on contacts mobile, home or work number.
So...the standard Google voice is terrible. I start hunting around and run into SVOX. Epic is still 2.1 right now so I'm told to download TTS Service Extended. I follow the indtructions I get from here:
http://svoxmobilevoices.wordpress.com/2010/05/06/how-to-use/
But..no good. Any ideas folks?
Anyone else despise that stock nav voice?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/classic-text-to-speech-engine/com.svox.classic
I think you are looking for this...very simple to work from the way it looks.
Can anyone who uses this comment on how it works and if it affects performance or volume levels at all?

The voic is amzingly realistic and sounds 100x better than the standard easily. If I could just get it going properly.
How to use updated as follows (note the troubleshooting hint to go back and forth between Pico and Classic):
Install free Classic Text-To-Speech engine
Install a Mobile Voice, such as US English, German, Mandarin, ...
On Android 2.2 goto Settings -> Voice input & output -> Text-to-speech settings
On Android 2.1 and earlier install the free TTS Service Extended App and open TTS Service Extended
Enable Svox Classic TTS engine at the bottom of the screen
Go to Default Engine and select Svox Classic TTS
Go to Default Language and select the language for which you have purchased a voice
Click on "Listen to a preview" to hear a short greeting.
If the voice you hear is not the voice you purchased, try the following: select Pico again as default engine and play a preview, then again select Svox Classic as default engine and play a preview
Uncheck "Override App Settings"
Open an app such as TalkToMe or uNote, enter a text and enjoy your new Mobile Voice reading it aloud
well it is only $2 so I tried it out, and I am also having problems trying to make it the default voice for Nav..etc it just will not do it. I have dl all the apps that the programs wants for proper operations but it is still a no go.
I followed the instruction on the www and also from the above post of JW and still no replacement of stock voice.
will keep working on it heck maybe it is not meant for nav replacement eventhough it say it will do that.

No. It is. I have read about others having the same issues. Apparently froyo 2.2 fixes the problem. Since it was only 2 bucks I decided to wait until 2.2 hits before digging deeper.

Yea I was thinking the same, must be a 2.1 thing and 2.2 should make it work, since some of the people that got it working have Evo's.

Same issue.. not able to replace Pico TTS by SVOX for Google NAV...
Moto Defy Android 2.1 in French
- TTS Service Extended App
- SVOX Classic text to speech
- Configuration as described on svoxmobilevoices(dot)wordpress(dot)com/how-to-use
Should be 2.1 issue in Android settings for Voice synthesis, but don't understand why TTS service extended does not succeed to force the setting..
I've read about some potential locale settings issues compare to language selected in TTS Extended (I mean settings specific for countries and languages in the phone compare to TTS extended settings)...
Does someone know something about that point ?

It works in 2.2
Either wait for official Froyo release or root your phone and use a custom ROM. All custom ROMS will work (that I've tried).
I'm on Viper 3.0.3 now (DK28).
I hear that the official Froyo is releasing around the 26th. SVOX UK voice is PERFECT, by the way.

Down in the Google Voice and Skype thread below, from monkeyboywa:
monkeyboywa said:
Don't think i'm unique...but I've now got GV + Skype working decently WITH BLUETOOTH.
I initiate the call from the gtab and it plays fine. As with all VOIP systems...there is a bit of a lag...but everyone said I sound clear enough.
I am using the hacked skype.apk...paired my BT (Motorola bt820 - a real piece of ****..but that's another subject) and it works great.
I've tried to use GV + sipdoid but the lag was horrible...and almost everyone said i sounded either too much static or it picked up every fricken sound and multiplied it x10 (this was using the included headphones)
So i'm going to keep trying this setup...other BT headsets I have...and if in 27 days still works great....bye bye voice/data plan (which isnt usable by the tablet atm..grrrr...)
Click to expand...

the problem is that i can't use gv from my country. . . and by the look of it its rather a complicated setup just to use voice dial
You tried Vlingo over Bluetooth?
i tried it.. all of these apps dont do what i think a voice dialer should do.. run in a background and when u press the button on your bluetooth headset it should let to call someone by saying their name without you opening the tab and chosing the Tap To Talk..
no point in voice dial if u have to access the tab for it to work
anyone know if this is even possible?
tyvm
There is ONE firmware where this feature worked: XXJI5.
Voice dialing over BT actually worked.
Since that firmware, it it no longer working and i tried every firmware out there.
I even reverted back to XXJI5 and confirmed it started working again.
if i flash that firmware will i still be able to use voice and 3g/hsdpa in europe? don't wanna lose that since that works.fine here in the.eu

Try Cyberon Voice Commander

I'm running JMC and sadly there's no update to the voice dialer app, in fact there isn't even one -on- the tab.
Only real thing I missed from my N1. Would there be a way to extract the voice dialer Apk and push it to system/app for an artificial install?
Edit: After trying a multitude of apps, I believe it might have something to do with the bluetooth connection (in addition) to the lack of a proper voice dialer app. Several after-market apps won't recognize the long-press call action from a BT headset.

There's no trial... at $6 and only 3 stars, I'm a bit reluctant!
Have many people tried it?
I can't believe such an advanced device lacks such a basic feature.
Samsung Vibrant on Froyo has this feature and it helps a lot when driving. Considering that Vibrant and Tab are very similar it should be possible to make it working without any additional software.
I know that Vibrant has separate VoiceDialer.apk
VoiceDialer.apk (rapidshare /files/ 301866434/ VoiceDialer.apk) works perfectly and triggers standard Google Voice Dialer via long press and via Bluetooth. My HD2 running on DFT_LEO_NAND_Android did not support this out of the box so I am glad to have found a solution to en my Car Kit frustration.

And thank you kind sir.
i did just fine using vlingo and choice dialer free
even tried it
for vlingo, u can wake up the tab 1st, then do the call, but somehow it lacks of understanding what i said, and ended up calling another people
i prefer choice dialer, as it understands me quite nicely, but from a screen off tab, long press doesnt work >.<
when its on, it works nicely
havent used it again for a long time, and today i found out that some app is using the mic so i cant use choice dialer
how to find out who's the culprit? anybody knows?
Using Choice Dialer Plus Free (AKA Hands-Free Voice Dialer (free)) from Android Market with my Infuse. Works great and doesn't need a data connection.
Has anyone used all of these?
I am having a problem with Vlingo and Google accurately accepting my voice commands. I be speaking good English with clear enunciation.
On my old Windows Mobile 6 devices, I had no problems with MS Voice Commands and Bing being recognized after the first try (the way it should be). With my Atrix, I am pretty close to giving up on using the voice features because it never gets it right unless I am in a quiet bedroom.
Is there a setting somewhere in the Atrix where I can improve the voice recognition accuracy? In Windows Mobile, I could disable the auto mic gain adjustment to get excellent results from MS Voice Command. I have done the training twice for the Google recognition engine. It's not any better.
Mostly, I use voice commands in the car to search or return text messages. I even turn off the air conditioning and roll up the windows and have the radio off.
I wonder, does the same voice issue that plagues Skype also affect the voice recognition apps?
That would certainly explain why it wouldn't be working.

Not familiarwith the Skype issue. The voice recognition works, but it just isn't very accurate...making them next to useless. It's really a chore to get Atrix to understand anything properly.
Okay, probably not then. The problem with Skype is that it takes the mic input as horrendously loud static

I haven't had anybody complain during phone calls, but I haven't used SKype either. I think I'm going to play around with a voice recording app to see what my voice sounds like through the mic. Maybe there is an optimum distance I should be when using voice recognition. The Atrix Bing app seems to do an excellent job at voice recognition. This leads me to believe that Google and Vlingo just aren't that good yet.
I know there have been complaints of voice calls through the Atrix making you sound like you're in a tunnel. I actually experience this issue. It doesn't make talking impossible, but it does make it a little more difficult. However, I have also heard that some people don't have the issue, so that could be your case, and perhaps Google and Vlingo are indeed not very good D:
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).
