Voice Activated Texting?

This might have been asked before, so please forgive me if it has.
Is there any software that can be used to activate text features and translate voice to text?
Also is there any software that would launch the phone (via voice) and dial a contact (via voice) whilst Sat Nav software is running?
Cheers

i think theres a virtual secretary prgoram called SAPIE or something that lets you do that... google for it, im sure youll find it..

Hmm, doesn't sound great:
The diary function is too limited, and voice recognition has too many limitations and inaccuracy for me. Played with it for about an hour then set about deleting from PPC and PC. Uninstall routine left a lot of dross behind, including the main exe on the PC. Had to do some manual removal of several files. I won't be re-installing it.

You could use my VJPhoneTools to call from a shortcut. Using VoiceCommand you could launch that, eg, "Start CallVJ" will launch the shortcut CallVJ.lnk, which will start the phone and call me.

Voice control : Vlingo now FREE

http://blogs.computerworld.com/16730/android_voice_control_without_froyo
Vlingo has announced that effectively immediately, it's voice to action is now FREE

Thanks gonna try it.

I just downloaded Vlingo...but when I say the "send text" command it opens up the native Android SMS app, even though I have Google Voice as the default SMS app on my phone. How do I get Vlingo to open Google Voice when sending texts?

It may not be able to integrate to it. It's only advertised to work with the defaults after all. GV is an addition in 2.1, so I cant say.
Try "text via voice" or something similar. You could also contact the developer.

How is working with battery? Does it drain battery a lot?

Honestly? I don't know. I suppose it does no more than Google Voice Search, when in use.
Despite the cool factor, this doesn't make Captivate a KITT

Works with handcent sms fine. For sms, I prefer it. Also has a widget to turn on read aloud for sms.
Edwin seems to open apps better. Edwin has translation. You can also have search results come back as audio.
Google default dials contacts faster but this shows phone book and google results which is nice.
Overall great addition.
Also like gesture search app. Try that one out.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

The problem I'm having with this, as well as the Google Voice thingamabob, is that I have to tell it the whole name of someone in my contact list before it recognizes who I'm talking about. It misses on first names every time, even if the first name I ask it to call or text is unique on the contact list. I had hoped Vlingo would be an improvement, but, alas....

Google Voice Native Integration with Voice Commands

As an iphone user and a heavy google voice user I'm a bit frustrated at how google voice can't integrate with my iphone. On the iphone I will have to open a third party app or the official GV app to make a call/send it text via google voice. That's fine but the problem on the iphone is you can't choose the native apps or change the default system actions. Thus when you want to send a link to the webpage via sms the iphone will automatically use it's own client and your default carrier number, when you want to dial out using voicecommands or a bluetooth headset you'll dial out using the native iphone caller client and your default carrier number (you get the gist of this).
I know that andriod phones have varying degrees of google voice integration. I know some phones give you the option of choosing between your numbers when you dial out and stuff like that. My question is how does this work on newer phones and phones with jellybean? If I want to text a link from my browser using my google voice number - can I do so directly or do I need to go about the roundabout way of copying the link and pasting it from say the google voice application? If I want to make a handsfree call from my headset using my google voice number - can this be easily done? I know jellybean has the feature where you can send a handsfree text message - can I do so from my google voice number (not the default carrier number)?
Does this integration carry over to third party apps? If you want to send a link from within an application will you be able to do so directly using your google voice number? If you use a driving hands free assistant link vlingo can you designate your outgoing texts and calls to be your google voice number.
Thanks guys and sorry for the cluster of questions.

Bluetooth voice calling with support offline mode

By means of voice commands of VoiceButton it is possible to execute voice search of contacts offline, to call, dial number, to look for places on a map, to lay out routes, to open programs. The voice set of number through typeface bluetooth will be very useful driving the machine.
The application is able to sound incoming calls and automatically to turn on the speakerphone. Activation of the program by means of Bluetooth and wire headset is supported. In systems with the Android 4.1. above operation offline is supported.
The application can work in two modes:
Normal - the mode in which the program won't talk to you. In case of determination of contact with high accuracy the automatic set of number through time, given in settings, can be made. This mode can be used in the absence of typeface;
Driving - the mode in which the program will synthesize voice messages. This mode is useful when using typeface or when your hands are occupied.
The modes can switch automatically in case of connection and switch-off of headset. In each mode the personal settings set by you can be used.
It is possible to launch the program with the help bluetooth or wire headset.
Usually for start with Bluetooth of typeface it is necessary to click and hold the call key. For specification study the instruction on specific model. In certain cases start of the program from typeface doesn't work. The reason can be both in headset, and in phone.
For start from wire headset press and retain the typeface button. That start in case of lock worked activate point in settings.

Detailed description of operation of some functions
Operation with contacts
For search of contact it is necessary to launch recognition of the program and after a sound signal to say the text for search.
Search of contact works by name, to number or its part, type, the name of the organization

For exact identification of contact it is possible to use an alias.
This function is available online also offline.
Operation with programs
For start of the program it is necessary to say the command "open application" + "a program name".
For example: open application gallery.

Aliases can be used for opening of programs with difficult names. This function is available online also offline.
Operation with Google maps
For search of the next place it is necessary to say the “map” command + "name of a place or an address". If you set Google maps and the place is found, the program with a route spacer sentence will be launched. This function is available only online.

[FREE][APP] Send SMS HANDSFREE by Voice: Unlimited message

Dear all,
This application was inspired by the fact that there are great demand on editing and sending quick SMS, without much action from your hands (no keyboard typing, minimum screen touches). Unfortunately, current applications on the market do not provide an adequate handsfree experience, as they still require many clicks on the screen (search for contacts, select contacts, switch to message text box, etc.). Besides, most of them do not allow multiple sentences to be inputted at one go, as you might need to click to the listen button again and again to add new sentences. Furthermore, punctuation marks and capitalization between sentences are not well managed.
Given the aforementioned reasons, we have created this application, which provides:
Handsfree contact searching
Handsfree contact select and unselect
Handsfree message editing
Support multi-sentence message. You just need to speak sentence by sentence
Support punctuation marks. You can speak "Hello comma how are you doing question mark", the result will be "Hello, how are you doing?". You can also add punctuation marks at the end of your sentence just by saying it.
Auto capitalization at the beginning of sentence
Support sentence or message deletion with voice command
Send message to SMS application with voice command
Adding emoticon with voice commands
Let us make the SMS editing by voice a real handsfree process.

If you see that this application can potentially interesting to you, please don't hesitate to take a look and try it. Your feedbacks will be strongly appreciated and valuable for the evolution of our application.
Best regards

This is a good variant. I think it's better to use apps that have templates or ready-made phrases, of course you need to touch the screen, but a minimum of touches. I'm comfortable with this. You should always aim at a large number of people. I have an example of such an application for images with text like sms https://www.maxaboutsms.com/love_sms.aspx . I use them because they are cute, they can be quickly and conveniently searched for and used. It is also very easy to install. I wish you good luck, I like your approach. People like you do mobile and unique things.

Dear, thank you for your feedback . Definitely, that is also a potential approach. For our application, we target the minimization of screen touch. For now, with our application, users can search for contacts, select/unselect targeting contacts, edit message (add sentences and delete sentences), and forward the message to the default SMS application, with only ONE single touch (to start the voice recognition). With this approach, we believe that it fits various use cases in which users prefer to minimize the number of touches on screen. And last but not least, your messages will not be limited by a finite number of ready-made phrases :-D

UPDATE: Version 1.0.1
We have just released an update which:
Fixes the issue on voice recognition library visibility on Android 11 (for those who have experience with Android 11, this library visibility is no stranger to them)
Improves the flow between searching contacts and editing message. For example, if the application is currently focusing on the message editing, and you say "Drop all contacts", the application will unselect all selected targeting contacts for you, and also switch the focus to contact autocomplete box.
Allows users to re-enable the tutorial. It will be useful if you forgot how the application works and want to see the showcases again.
