Best voice assistant for Galaxy S7 edge? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello,
I'm looking for a good voice assisant for my Galaxy S7 edge.
Which one would you advise? Google Now is not bad but sometimes there are important voice commands missing.
Something like Siri for Android would be really nice
It should have voice activation and be available in German.
Regards,
Nestade

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.

Note 3 voice action issue

I recently purchased a galaxy note 3 sm-900. I was desperate to return my android experience back to the one that I had become accustomed to on previous phones, so among other things I set about the task of removing google's new voice search and finding a way to install the old one. In short, I rooted the phone and deleted system apps using RootAppDelete. I uninstalled the google search app itself and then one that said something along the lines of com.google.android.voicesearch. After that, the google play store finally allowed me to download a fresh copy of the old voice search app, which installed just fine and works almost like it should on my phone. The only problem I have is that the app does not recognize voice commands, which is primarily what I use the app for. If I say "Navigate to X", the phone will open the browser with a google search for "Navigate to X". I really need to find a way to make these voice commands work. I have been digging through internet threads for the last few hours trying to find someone with a similar problem but with little success.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this?

Bixby Voice Missing Weather?

I recently bought a Chinese Samsung G10+ and everything works great. However, recently discovered that Bixby Voice doesn't understand “what is the weather” means
1. Everything is in English except Samsung Assistant
2. It almost seems like weather isn't an option available to Bixby
Any ideas would help, thanks in advance.

Google Voice Keyboard missing dropbox for alternative word choices

My apologies if this is the wrong forum, but my problem just started on my new Samsung Galaxy S10+ phone. If there's a better place for it, admins please feel free to move this post.
I've been using an LG G6 for the past couple of years, and when I use the Google Voice Keyboard to dictate to my phone, it has always provided me with a drop box of alternate word choices after transcribing my speech to text. It does this by underlining a word that it thinks might be transcribed incorrectly, and when you click on the underlined word, a list of alternative words appears in a drop down box.
Just this past week, I upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S10+, and I find this feature seems to be missing entirely from the Google Voice Keyboard. I've tried using GBoard and the default Samsung keyboard, and I even installed TouchPal, but I can't seem to get this functionality to appear. I've done multiple Google searches to find out how to turn this on, and can find nothing! I can't be the only person with this problem, right? What am I missing?
I did do some detective work on my LG G6, and it seems the functionality appears in the Google Messages app when typing a message, but it doesn't appear when I'm putting text into a Google Keep note, so I don't know if this functionality varies by app. However, when I try to input a new message into Google Messages app on my Galaxy S10+, that functionality is missing, so it doesn't seem to be only an app issue.
Can anyone give me any suggestions or a solution? I've attached a photo of the functionality I'm describing.
Thanks!
