Voice to txt options on CDMA Hero running Fresh 1.1 - Hero CDMA Themes and Apps

...are there any worth mentioning?

Not sure about your question, but I use speech to text in handcent to text while driving. Works just fine if you enunciate each word.

ok, apparently I need to learn how to speak cause handcent mislabels every word I say.

It took me a minute too but I've gotten it down to a science. Try speaking like each word is it's own sentence, and keep it fairly monotone.
"Pick. Up. Chinese. Food. On. Your. Way. Home."

I agree. Handscent works pretty damn good with the speech-to-text if you speak to it like it's stupid.

thanks for the tips guys...I tried speaking like it's retarded and it's flawless

SlideIT autospace option

SlideIT is always placing a space between words or, more accurate, in front of all words. Only the first word in a text gets away without a space before it. But, if I write the first word in a text, delete it to replace it with another word, it will create a space and the word will be all small letters!
Example:
Hi it's me!
(now, if i want to replace the word "Hi" with "Hello", I'll go back, delete that word only, and it turns out like this:
<space>hello it's me!
(a space in front of the first word, and its all small letters)
Also, in my language (norwegian) there is a lot of words that are combined by two words, but SlideIT doesn't allow me to enter two words without a space between them, unless i go back and delete the space myself.
Well, easy solution: Go to options and de-select the Automatic space option! Yeah, thats the problem right there. I've already tried a bunch of times, but it doesn't change anything! The spaces keep appearing no matter what!
I've already emailed Dasur, and here is what I got:
Dear Sven Erik
We will check this issue,
Can you tell me if it append aso in Note an Word application ?
Best regards,

I answered YES to both apps, but still no answer.. (Sent on April 12th)
So, is anyone else having this problem?
Any solutions?
SlideIT looks nice and is nice to use but it has lots of little annoying bugs like the one you highlight here. The killer for me was the correction issue with HTC Messaging. I emailed Dasur suggesting they change their editing to the method Swype uses where you can place the cursor anywhere in a word to change it to something else using the suggestion system. With SlideIT you need to highlight the entire word which can't be done in HTC Messaging. As a result, any changes when composing text messages means the word has the be deleted and retyped in it's entirety.
As a result I'm still using Swype until these problems are resolved.

Norsk og tysk har mange likheter! (Er det riktig?)
I have the exact same issue: In German, many words are combined to create longer words as well and because the automatic space option is not working, it is not possible to enter them without having to remove the spaces inbetween manually afterwards. I also contacted Dasur and they sent me an answer thanking me for the feedback... But nothing has happened since! Otherwise SlideIt is awesome!
talk to them on their facebook page, they may be a bit more responsive there.

Yup, Norwegian is part of the German language tree
I sent Dasur a new mail yesterday, and again they reply with questions. I answer them, and guess what? No replies...
Same problems with dutch language here. I also searched for a solution and sent an e-mail but no response.
I got my response from Dasur now, it seems like the auto space option is only ment for ABC-mode:
It's not a bug,
We think that in slide mode* you write word after word
and not try to add word to word (in most languages you can't combine words)
my suggestion to you is to save the long words and to slide them in one slide
In the next version we will offer to disable the auto space in the slide mode too.

But that sucks! Sliding really long words with one pass is very inconvenient! The margin for errors is far too big! And it would be such an easy thing to implement! Come on!
Oh well... We'll see what the next version brings.
I just realized that the auto space option makes no sense if it is only ment for the abc mode, as you enter all letters and spaces manually. so as a reply to the mail I received earlier (see my previous posts) i had to reply:

I agree, v4.1.0.3 has been out for quite a while now so i hope im wrong but i think it will still be a wihle before a newer version is released.
As mentioned, it actually does respond faster than Swype but Swype is much more finger friendly, has less bugs, its just a smarter layout for editing etc.
SlideIT has great advantages though like the abbreviations etc so if they can just tweak it a little, it will be better than Swype. Needs skins as well, very plain unfortunately.
New mail received!
Okay, i still cant seem to figure these guys out...

[APP] NameBuzz - A new concept for Caller ID, and SMS ID.

Hey Guys,
Was hoping for a bit of constructive feedback. Wrote an app called NameBuzz:
A new concept in incoming Caller ID and SMS ID technology. Silently know who's calling, without your phone leaving your pocket!
- Vibrate pattern based on syllables in contact name
- Create custom vibrate patterns per contact
- Speak contact name out loud
- Vibrate on call end
- Press volume key to disable during call
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The idea is that with only 5 or so people calling you regularly, their syllables should be enough for you to differentiate between people. And if not, you can always create a custom vibrate pattern for that contact!
As an extra, it also allows you to set up speaking caller ID - for the situations where you don't need your phone to be silent!
You can install with the following link:
NameBuzz Install
It's only tested in English for the time being, and on a Nexus One and Desire Z (HTC Vision).
If anyone gives it a go, feel free to let me know what you think!
Cheers,
Daz.

Nice app! If only the voice was more enjoyable not so roboty if possible. The buzzing will take some time to learn, especially if you have friends with similar names..

I think it should be fairly intuitive, as you can work out the number of syllables, and then the name. I would use the testing function a little to familiarise yourself.
AIM mobile IM = buzzing out of control!

This shouldn't buzz out of control, it will be the pattern of:
Buzz-Pause-Buzz-Buzz-Pause-Buzz - and then repeat.
AIM-space- Mob -ile -space-IM
So AIM = 1 syllable
Mobile = 2 syllables
IM = 1 syllable.
And I put little breaks in to break up words. Does that make sense?
could always use morse code for the vibrate patterns

Awesome, thanks! However, I guess you should warn people I've only tested this in english, and I coded the text-to-syllable engine to only really work with english letters. Hence, I'm not really sure how it will perform in german! Special accented characters that should be treated as syllable indicators probably won't get picked up...
Let me know if you give it a go, would be interested to know if it's really bad, or just not perfect!

Thanks for the offer, unfortunately, it's a little more tricky than that. I use certain knowledge about english to turn words into a number of syllables. Hence, it's not really a translation as such. I will have a think... if I can make into a translatable list, I will be sure to let you know!!

Is it just me or is this App no longer available in the Market? I've tried numerous barcodes and looked under Tools but only get told the app cannot be found.

I think I found the problem with this app not showing up in the Market for me. My phone was missing an update and once I performed it, NameBuzz showed up and installed without a glitch.
Great app. Makes phone calls a little easier to screen.
NameBuzz 1.2 now available:
- Works in collaboration with in-built ringer state. If your phone is in silent, it won't vibrate/speak, if in vibrate mode, it will vibrate but not speak, etc...
- Disabled during Call Waiting - simply provides call waiting tone rather than vibrating.
- Add custom speech text (ie. Incoming Call from Joe Bloggs)
- Added ability to set silent ringtone.

Wasnt sure exactly where to post this. The new app from Vlingo, "Vlingo InCar" is in beta, and only available through the market for sprint customers during the beta period.
Could one of you kind evo users post up the apk for the rest of the android community? Thanks!

When you put it in "InCar" mode you can say "Hey Vlingo" to wake it up and use voice commands.

Also, it works! The new Google program is about 1/10 in getting what I say right.
Vlingo is (so far) about 5/5. I like that if it doesn't find what you're saying locally, it does a (very fast) internet search.
any word on making it work for other android devices? ie the g-1

Works great on the dinc. I appreciate the share!
thank you so much for sharing this app with the community. I have been fooling around with it for half an hour or so and it does some pretty awesome things. LOVE the in-car feature, completely hands-free and works perfectly, even reads and writes text messages for me. "hey vlingo"
Edit: Forgot to add, very accurate, even with names
Wow, the incar mode is really REALLY good. Anybody know how to have it differentiate between a contacts home and cell when sending a text message?
Say call blah blah mobile. That should work.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Google's voice search sucked at recognizing what I was saying for the first week or so, but then it got a lot better. I'm wondering if it learns your voice or something. Vlingo, on the other hand, worked well on day one. However, while it does a good job of recognizing what I am saying, it doesn't always give me the results I wanted. For instance, movie times never come up even though that's one of the examples the app shows, and it displays my exact phrase correctly (movie times near #####). It just says "No answer found". And I've also had trouble getting it to dial the right phone number for a contact. It's like it ignores when I say "mobile."
I'm having the same problem. It ignores when I say "mobile" after the contacts name. My g/f is getting irritated with the text to landline messages that repeat "test" lol
Is it necessary to install the standard Vlingo app before installing the incar pack?
I´ve been trying to download the installer but i still cant find it, it´s not in the market either.
It would be much if I ask to share the installer?

anyway to successfully have this running in the background with the in-car? Currently it seems that the program has to be on main screen for me to say "Hey Vlingo" and it wakes...
Plus..too bad I cant say Jarvis to have it wake up
Instead of 'mobile' try saying 'cell'.

Right now the best way is to make two contacts for the person and label one cell and one home after the name. Best workaround at the moment.

Yeah, I went ahead and did that the other day, but thanks! Hopefully that will get sorted.
It would be nice if you could ask it to use your GV # by default as well.
i wonder if there is any way to train a contact that it gets wrong every time. Wifes name is tricky and unless i use her last name first it misses it every time.

Predictive dialing for android

Guys, is there a program that gives me predictive dialing for the android? I have Froyo.
I found Dial one or something like that and it works fine, BUT, there is a formatting problem and it puts the persons name on TOP of the date last called and all that and it makes it harder to read, AND looks ****ty!
I'm also using a program that makes my fonts bigger which might be interfering but normally, it doesn't.

Tried TakePhone yet? 30 day trial if you get it from his website, shsh.com, then buy it from him direct or from the market.

I don't see anything about predictive dialing but I can give it a try.
If I get it from his site, how do I install it on the nexus?
Thanks
George
You could also try TouchPal dialer free from the Market. It's got predictive dialing and is a bit more speedy than DialerOne.
I remember I loved this on my T-Mobile Wing. I could type in 323 and dad would come up.
Nowadays, I just use the search button in the dialer to find the contact in question. Just type their name out haha.
It's bull****! You'd think that on a 700 dollar phone, this would be standard
THanks by the way, I'll try the latest suggestion.

That's because you've spelled it wrong. It's TOUCHPAL, not touchpad. It's free in the market, works great in English and Chinese, and is a lot speedier than DialerOne, but has all the same features.

Youlu is faster than DialerOne but there are 3 things I'm missing here:
1. There is no * on the dial pad. I didn't find an option to call to phone number *1234.
2. With DialerOne I have shortcut to the call log screen and it appears with dial pad. I can start searching (T9 style) right away. In Youlu there are different tabs/screens for dial pad, calls log, contacts and favorites. If I use shortcut to calls log I have to do extra click for dial pad
3. In DialerOne there are few places you can press on a single line on calls log screen: 1. direct call, 2. calls log of specific contact, 3. mini-menu to dial, sms, face, mail to the contact or open contact details. It's less options in Youlu: direct call to the number or calls log of the specific contact (like if you got 3 calls from him and return one back)
I'm still wondering what best for me.

[Q] Google Voice Actions

Is anyone having problems with getting Google Voice Actions to work? The language on my G2X is set to English US, and I'm in the US so I know that's not the problem. Nothing works, and the app is updated. If I try to say "Navigate to ...." it does a Google search for the thing I said to navigate to.
I'd love any suggestions
Can you clarify a bit. You said nothing works but it did search when you use navigation.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
The only thing it does is search by voice. It doesn't navigate, send text to, set alarm, or anything else. I can say navigate to .... and all it will do is google search for the last thing it heard. If I say send text to Joe, it'll google search for joe.
It works flawlessly on my nexus S, so I don't know what the problem could be.
Anybody have a solution, as I've tried everything.
I unrooted and restored to out-of-the-box state and it didn't help.
However, when I changed the language to English (UK) I was able to get the "Navigate to..." option working, but the other voice actions only work in the US as of right now, so it's kind of pointless. The person that this phone belongs to, really only wanted the navigation voice action so in theory the problem is solved, but she said she would also like the other voice actions as well and I'm completely baffled as to why all the other android phones in the house can accomplish the voice actions and the g2x cannot.
Are any other g2x owners unable to perform any of the voice actions, or am I the only one?
Mine is working just fine with voice commands. I tried a bunch of different ones to be sure and they all work appropriately.
I don't have any ideas for you but just wanted to chime in that its not a universal issue.

On my Nexus S when I click Settings>Voice Input and Output> "Voice Recognizer settings", recognizer is spelled like you would see in the US, "recognizer."
However, on the G2X, it's spelled "recogniser" like you would see in a British spelling. How is recognizer spelled on your guys' G2X, is it "recognizer" or "recogniser"
Mine is spelled the American way with a "z". Myself I am rather perturbed at the voice dialing. My contact list has everyone with first and last name and I would like to be able to use nicknames instead of the long full name. Especially in the case of my father and brother who are Joe XXXX Jr. and Joe XXXX III. Don't know why I can't use nicknames instead and say Brother, or my friend Patty, instead of Patty XXXX.

Mine is spelled "Recogniser". I'm on Eagle's Blood 1.0.4 Froyo, for what it's worth.
I use mine all the time. I always use "Call dominoes (zip)" or "call jenna mobile".
I've used "text jenna i'm horny" but I'd rather just type it. It does work well in the car when I'm driving. I use call just to save me from looking it up, remembering the number, and dialing it.
I do use "map address" though. That works well too.
Overall it does work well for me. I'm on CM7 and I just downloaded it from the market (no GAPPS). "Reconizer" is spelled with a "Z" on mine too.

Well I'm officially out of ideas then. I'm going to wait for the official G2X Gingerbread update this summer and if that doesn't fix the problem, then I'll be putting either CM7 or one of the other Roms on it.

Just checked mine, its spelt recogniser. I'm using stock on my g2x. Apparently not much thought went into converting the overseas version to the US version, also apparent little QA was actually done on this phone to miss something that obvious.
