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.

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....
I want to first say that I love the google voice search, when searching the web, the voice to text is excellent. Probably the 'killer app' for me on my phone. My question is why cant i get a simple thing such as Call Tom Jones at Home to work?
I say that & I the phone starts dialing some random person not in my phone book, it literally starts dialing some random company.
Considering how accurate it is on other areas of my phone, I dont get why this doesnt work.
I am using MS exchange & the built in email app, so my contacts are in the google contact app. I am also using CM 6.1 if that matters.
Any ideas would be great!
Thanks,
Rich
I have the same question, anybody could help?
Hello everyone,
I have recently purchased a Samsung Mesmerize, and I'm having issues with the Voice Search function. I am unable to use it to call contacts, or call local businesses as I can on my Motorola Droid. Let me give you some examples:
<Press Voice Search App, wait for prompt> say Call Nancy Waters Mobile
(This calls contact Nancy Waters at the Mobile #)
<Press Voice Search App, wait for prompt> say Call Best Buy Janesville Wisconsin
(This Google Searches the Number for Best Buy in Janesville, WI, and Displays it, and calls it automatically.)
<Press Voice Search App, wait for prompt> say Call Voicemail
(obviously, this dials voicemail)
All of these work flawlessly on the Droid. On the Mesmerize, all of the spoken words are entered into a Google Search. It literally says, "Call Nancy Waters Mobile" in the browser w/ Google Search results.
I've verified the Settings > Search > Searchable Items dialog, all are checked. One note: the Web checkbox that I have on the Droid is not present on the Mesmerize. Clearly Voice Search DOES search the web since no matter what I say gets correctly recognized and websearched. I'm not sure what else to do to rectify this issue. Any ideas?
Thanks,

That would be because the Mesmerize has split these functions into voice search, and voice commands. Two separate programs that don't intermingle. Odd, but it works.

I believe that the voice commands as part of the google search button are a froyo and higher function.

This works, I am using my tablet as a speakerphone, plus sending and recieving text messages.
I do not take credit for this or provide support for this configuration.
Very Cool!

perfect for a rap video. no joke.
Seriously!
OP: thanks for the link. This is an awesome find.
Thanks for the link but I'm having trouble getting it to work. Calls come into the tablet, I'm able to answer them but the connection doesn't seem to complete. While the tablet says it has connected, the dialing phone continues to ring and eventually goes to Google voicemail. Anyone have any luck getting this to work? I'm on Vegan 5.1.1

This is because you are only setting up a free account with CallCentric. You can only talk to other CallCentric users for free over the SIP connection. Unless you are going to purchase time there this will be of limited use for voice calls.
Texting however is another matter. This is working QUITE nicely for that. Texting on my Gtab....didn't think I would see that.
My only question is if sending texts counts as usage on the IPkall account. If it doesn't I will have to make a point of actually calling the number once a month to keep it active.
Nice work here.

I was under the impression from the original write-up that calling and texting were completely free using this method.
Texting works just fine through the GV app for me.

I could get a call to make the tab ring but no voice so I went looking at the websites...
Right off CallCentric's page per the link:
"IP Freedom does not allow you to call traditional landline and mobile phones. If you like the idea of the Callcentric IP Freedom plan, but need to make calls to traditional phones please take a look at our Pay Per Call plan."
I may be missing something, but I assume that is the issue. I am not sure why they have us install the dialer software since you can dial through CSip.
Oops
Well, I stand corrected. I messed with it a little more and I am able to get incoming calls.
The outgoing cannot be made directly. You have to call Google Voice and have it place the call/call you back. The directions have us installing an old version of Voice which I am not keen on.
Gonna play with it some more.
Tablet as Phone
Ok, I can text successfully to & from the tab and I can take incoming calls.
Not having any luck making outgoing calls. Google Voice Callback is not seeming to intercept the outgoing call to have Google voice place it and call my back so CallCentric is denying the call since it is not to one of their clients. Not sure what the problem is here.
Further I can't use Dialerone at all. Every time I try to use it to place an outgoing call it gives the famous android.process.acore error. I reviewed my complete contact list & cleared out entries causing prior problems and cleared my contact storage, but it didn't seem to make a difference.
Anyone here having luck with this?
Hey everyone its good to see my tutorial made it over here. If you have any questions you can ask me over here http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...s/7218-how-make-receive-free-calls-texts.html and then you can get your question answered faster
Skype
I use Skype to make calls. It works pretty well. I don't receive calls with it because I don't pay extra for a phone number but I do have a Skype acct to make calls to land lines.
On skype the microphone works pretty well while it sits in my lap.
I have the C&C Froyo setup on my gTab.
Oh. I should have mentioned that I have not been able to use Skype video calling. At some point I'm pretty sure that will be working but I'm been following other threads for now and I find 99% of my calls are not video anyway. My laptop works better for that anyway because of how I can set in on the counter.
GrooveIP works directly with your Google Voice number - no need to redirect to another system. GrooveIP is not free, but for a few dollars,it gives you the ability to make and receive calls. Paired with the Google Voice app, you have voicemail and SMS all on your gTablet.
I've been happy with Skype as well.I actually think Skype works better with the mic compared to GrooveIP, although both do work well. Of course, with Skype, you have to have SkypeIn, SkypeOut subscriptions, or Skype credit to make calls to landlines.

I can make video calls on skype. Video quite bad, but it works. Im on TNT Lite 4.4
You need the latest skype, and have to enable video in the settings.
For those of us on sprint google voice is exceptionally awesome. I have google voice on my gtab combined with my sprint cell number and I am able to make and recieve text messages. It's pretty awesome. I've been told using gooveip works very well with it but I haven't bought it just yet. Right now I just don't see the need for it.

You are correct this is up to date and all of the links should be working. I continue to update my thread to make sure everything still works. I just ported my moms old land line number that she has had for like 20 years over to Google voice and then did this same setup for her so she can still have her land line number and a "home phone" with out having to pay a dime extra for it.
Hi, I'm looking for an app that would allow me to use my secondary Google Voice number .. I hope this question is in the right place.
I searched Google and found only few posts where something like this was asked and no real answers there.
I am currently using GVoice with Sprint integration so the android Google voice app is being used by my sprint number and that takes the option of even signing out of the app away. What I need is a second app to let me sign in with my other Google Voice account and able to text and maybe make calls as well? but mostly I need it for the SMS.
I believe I can use grooveIP to make and receive VoIP calls with Gvoice.. but GrooveIP doesn't have SMS.
I know there are other options for SMS such as Pinger, TextMe, TextPlus and many more and I did try those three but none of them as good as Google voice and one reason is they don't give permanent number they will delete it if not used for 30 days and that's a problem for me.. also they don't save history but only for few days or weeks where with Gvoice my history is there however long I want to keep it.
I hope I made what I'm looking for clear
I have Sprint Evo 3D with stock rooted rom..
Thank you all in advance ..
Mr. Q
