I'm interested in Moto Voice's ability to listen off-screen but Google Voice Search is much better at understanding command phrases. Therefore, I'm trying to use Tasker to run Google Voice Search whenever Moto Voice is activated. That works pretty well when the screen is on. However, when I activated Moto Voice from off-screen, Tasker did not recognize that Moto Voice is launched and therefore, didn't redirect me to Google Voice Search. Is there anyway to fix this problem?

Does anyone have any idea on how to have the Google Voice Search app launch when the bluetooth button on a headset is pressed? I'm not talking about voice commands, I'm talking about the Voice Search app that can be downloaded from the market.
Thanks.
Hey everyone,
I am wondering if y'all figured out if google voice can refresh itself to get text messages. My friend's phone receives text messages ONLY after she refreshes Google voice.
Anyone else have this issue or not issue, nuisance?
I don't think anybody really understands what you are asking. What phone does your friend have, and are you referring to the text messages that are forwarded to the phone from Google Voice, or the text messages that are sent directly to the phone, or something else entirely (viewing Google Voice text messages in an application or web browser)?
It's kind of hard to answer a question when I have no idea what you're asking.
As far as I know Google Voice is not capable to run on WP7. I tried it through the browser and it required a download which WP7 cannot accomodate. So yes please clarify the question and maybe we can help.
Are you perhaps talking about one of the GV apps ?
There are two (or maybe three) unofficial Google Voice apps in the market. That's what OP is asking about.
Remember those are unofficial 3rd party apps and each has their own pros and cons.
WP7 API currently is quite limited. To make full use of Google Voice capability, Microsoft need to open up API furthermore so that Google will port an official Google Voice over.
FYI, on my Android phone, the native Google Voice app is tightly integrated with phone dialer pad so that you don't need to use a separate dial pad to call through Google Voice. Also, the multi-tasking capability means Google Voice app can sit on the background to receive text messages and voice mails. These are currently not possible on WP7. One of the Google Voice app needs to setup a dedicated server (from donated funds) to support the push notification.
Three advantages about Google Voice:
* cheap international calls on your cell phone
* free SMS
* free visual voice mail.
So I installed a google voice application so I can make calls, not receive them, through GV.
After the app's setup, and people call me on my regular cell phone number, the call comes through google voice instead. When I place a call or txt someone, it uses my google voice number.
I uninstalled the app and its still the same issue. How do I stop google voice from taking over my phone? I only want to use google voice when I want to, not automatically.
Login to your Google Voice account and click the gear in the upper-right hand corner then Voice Settings. In your Google Voice numbers, find your mobile number and see if it says "Google Voice Enabled" next to it. If so, then when you were setting up the Google Voice app you enabled Google Voice integration.
^ as above. Go to voice.google.com and log in. Top right - go to Voice Settings. Beside your # deactivate your number and then re-add it with Google Voice LITE. Lite is the key. I can't remember the exact steps though.
With Snapdragon 800 there is the mode where even with the screen off/sleeping I can launch voice commands.
I was curious if I can change this from using S voice to using google voice instead as I hate S voice and imho google voice is better
Hi,
I'm wondering if it's possible to make an app that will catch a specific number if called and route the audio to other apps like googe voice search or s-voice. My one pet peeve is when I'm driving I can't start google voice search without interacting physically with my phone as the majority of autos I've seen like ford sync and subaru's off label BT systems have no way for you to do this built in. My idea is to design an app that puts a contact in your phone so you can just say "Call Google" or something similar and your car will initiate a call with the phone, but to have the phone not actually connect to the cell network but after call has been placed you hear the familiar "beep" of voice search. You know, like on windows phone you can say "Call Cortana" and she'll pick up. Or is that a special API only in windows phone?
There is Google Now Launcher,developed by Google.You just need to install it,and use it as your launcher.When on the launcher screen just say "OK Google" and it will open the voice search.You can also set it to detect "OK Google" from any app,if your device supports that.
The problem is that your device's screen needs to be on,not for all devices,but there are not many that support detecting the "OK Google" phrase with the screen locked.For more commands you can simply install Commandr , also a free app.
Hope I helped.
