so this weird that noone else has said something, but if i use voice search on the home screen all works fine, but if i try to use it to write a text in the GV app then it stops working, and wont even let me use voice search on the home screen till a restart.
im using cm7. i think i remember it doing it on other roms but i cant be for sure.
just wondering if anyone else has seen this?
thanks y'all
I would like to know even if people arnt having that problem.

Myself and another person spoke up about it in the CM7 thread.
ReadItToMe Lite is now on the android market. For those who missed my other thread it is an app which reads out your incoming sms and calls automatically via bluetooth or a headset or even your phone speaker depending on what you prefer. It also translates txt speak so unlike other apps which find reading sms's (at least mine ) difficult.. with ReadItToMe btw becomes 'by the way' and lol becomes 'laugh out loud'.. as well as that you can add your own words so for example 'diff' could become different..
ReadItToMe Pro - Reply with your voice
If would like to be an alpha/beta tester for the pro version I have attatched it below. This adds the option after you receive a message to reply to or call that person back using your voice.
This is how it works atm:
1 - You receive a message, it may be read or not depending on your settings.
2 - You will then hear a beep (same beep as when you increase ringer volume)
3 - If you want to reply to the message you say 'reply' then your message, all in one go, without a pause.. ie 'reply thanks for testing my app'
- If you want to call that person you say 'call'
4 - If you don't say either call or reply it will do nothing.. if you do say either it will confirm with you your chosen action to which you say yes or no
There is a test button as well to test out the feature.. although obviously this will not send and sms or call anyone.. its just to test how it works/captures your voice etc..
As always feature requests or ideas on how you would prefer it to work are always welcome
Note - The auto data option will turn your data on to capture your voice and off afterwards. So if you are like me and always have data off you can still use this app. (Speech to text translation requires trranslation via google servers in case you didn't know, hence the need for data)
Known bugs:
- You may need to say yes or no twice to confirm your action
I'm installing now and am happy to be a tester...if you don't mind having a tester who doesn't know anything and can never figure anything out
Good Aplication
I'm not getting call announcements streamed through my bluetooth
But I do get incoming call information through the handeset speakerphone
I wonder if an option to disable the ringtone could/should be added so just the callers number/ name should be read instead of both since the ringtone and readittome read info is done over one another
Will gladly test the application and give you the feedback.
I'm just now getting to testing the reply system....here's what happens
1... I receive an sms and the application reads it to me
2...There is an audible beep and I say "reply"
3...I get asked if I want to reply
4...I say "yes"
5...there is another audible beep and I start speaking
6...the app tells me the message is sent
7...no message is sent afterwards
Feedback....
The app is awesome without the reply feature so please don't take anything as a complaint, I hope I can do a decent enough job explaining what occurs on my device clearly enough so as to not add confusion as you work on the application lol...
After I say "reply" and after I answer "yes", it would be nice if the application gave a notification to start speaking a reply, a beep would suffice, a voice instruction and a beep would be perfect....as it is now, I am never sure if my answering "yes" to confirm I want to send a reply is accepted by the application so I find myself saying "yes" twice and then start speaking my reply...I find myself listening for an acceptance to my answer of "yes" and then hesitating to speak my reply because I'm not sure my answer is accepted....maybe what I'd prefer (not that it matters haha)...is...
1...receive sms and it is read to me
2...a beep occurs and I say "reply"
3...the app asks if I'm sure and then a beep occurs
4...I answer "yes"
5...a beep occurs and the app says "reply after the beep"
6...a beep occurs and I know to start speaking
Another optional scenario could be ........
1...receive sms and it is read
2...the app says " if you would like to reply via sms say "reply", if you would like to call, say call...speak your selection after the beep"....and then a beep occurs....
3...the app acknowledges the selection and says "you have selected to reply via sms, please speak your reply after the beep"....OR...if "call" was selected the application could say "dialing now"
Just two cents from someone who doesn't know anything and can never figure anything out
I tested the call-back feature....it works ...........of course using it the first time I didn't exactly know what to expext so when propmpted I said "call" and when asked to confirm I just said "yes yes yes yes yes"....lol....and then...IT WORKED ...very nice

Thanks for that feedback, that's very useful.. One thing which I may not have explained properly in the 1st post, the reason no message is being sent is because the way it works is you hear the beep, you say reply and your message all in one go.. it will then say reply to x your message, is that correct? if you then say yes it will send your message.. atm as you are only saying reply it thinks you want to send a blank message hence nothing is sent as I disabled sending blank messages.. I'll try and clear that up in the original post..
As to how you'd like it to work my thinking was to have it available if you want and unnoticeable if you didn't.. so for example if you don't say reply or call it will do nothing, I personally didn't want it to ask what I wanted to do however if this is the consensus amongst you guys I can add that option in..
Also were you using it via the phones mic or bluetooth?
Again thanks for the feedback.. any other testers feedback would also be appreciated..
I used it via the device handset mic as you had already mentioned the headset wasnt operational yet.....I‘ll test it now and report back momentarily.....additionally, I‘ll say.....the way youve designed it makes it much more intuitive than being prompted by the application to confirm a users choice, which makes it faster to do something.....so now that we know how to use it, I say leave it like you designed it...
I tested it as you descibe, and voila!! Success ...I say "reply" and then speak my message, the app asks for confirmation and I answer "yes" and it sent succesfully...awesome, crazyfool...very nice ...it might help others to know that when the application speaks to confirm the selection, the user replies to the application before the next beep...meaning....
When the application asks a question, once the question is asked, it awaits a reply once it's done speaking...if the user hears a beep after the voice, the opportunity to reply has passed you by and the beep is your signal that you took too long to answer it
Crazyfool, what do you think about adding an option for the user to select whether certain characters are read or not... things like forward slashes and such
new version up.. it'll now yet you reply or call over bluetooth.. would appreciate it you guys could test this and see how it works for you..
as to excluding characters it is possible although I'm not sure where that would come in handy?

Do you have the music stream option checked? That's needed for most bluetooth devices

Could you tell me what settings your using? It should work reguardless of what sms app is used.

Could you tell me your setting and are you using speakerphone/headphones or bluetooth?
Also everyone whos having an issue could you ensure tts works on your phone. If you enter some txt speak and press read if nothing is read then the issue is not the sms or calls but the tts settings on your phone or the volume.
Thanks for this great app, been looking for this functionality for ages. Just wondering if this is somewhere where we can request enhancements.
I was thinking about having an option that lets you have a voice confirmation that you want the incoming SMS to be read aloud.
Works perfectly. Thanks so much for this.

Hmm.. personally I wouldn't want that but if enough people do then I can implement it.. however.. it got me thinking about maybe having a whitelist/blacklist ie if you don't want a certain persons sms to be read.. what do you think?

Hey I have searched the forum and so far I have yet to find a solution to my problem. I have the Droid RAZR Maxx HD running on Jellybean. I am not sure if the problem was present before I upgraded to Jellybean.
I don't use video chat very often, but sometimes it comes in handy. Especially handy when you're troubleshooting something remotely. Ok I have tried Tango, Skype, Fring, ooVoo, Google Talk video, and Facebook video. Each one of them seem to do something different. Tango will dial the other person up and start my camera, but it will never let us connect. When I attempt to hang up a Tango call all it does is turn the green light off under the video camera icon, and the video camera stays on. I have to press the home button and force close the app. Skype will just force close if I attempt a video call as will Google+. The ooVoo app allows the video to work fine on both ends but we have zero audio and I've been unsuccessful finding anything in settings to change that. The Fring app let's the other person see me (they were on a Samsung Galaxy Note II), and we can hear each other. I can only see my own camera on my screen, though. So far ooVoo and Fring seem to be the closest to being working apps for me, but they still are not functional enough to be of any use. I contacted Verizon about this on the phone twice and visited the store once. The guy on the phone this morning said that it was likely something with the jellybean upgrade. The guy at the store last night said his works fine with the same kind of phone, but I'm not sure about that personally because I never saw him get it to work. The only phone he tried to initiate a video call with was mine. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me figure out how to get around this. By the way, I also tried clearing the cache and the data for Tango and uninstalling, installed an older version of Tango from Google, but that only force closed. Please let me know if you need more information to help solve this issue, and thanks in advance.
Anyone ? ? ?

Ok, so trying to use the stock message app with voice. Every time I use it, I have to press microphone, then start talking, I usually just say hey, then wait, it will say network error, I then proceed in using again and it works fine.
Has anyone else run it this problem?
If so, have you found a fix for this.
Now I have never tried with watch in standalone mode to see if that is different.
I get this from time to time too. It's very frustrating to speak a whole text only to get the response of "Network Error". I wish someone would figure this out. This watch is just s few small tweaks from being head and shoulders above any other wearable. The issue is the tweaks required are on basic functionality.

I have downloaded the "Chat Hub" app by Le Hoang It is $2.70 and this seems to fix the problem. It also allows you respond to messages from like facebook messenger and others. I do not however use a bunch of different ones. So not sure how good it really is.

I've had this issue before but i find it hard to believe that a third party program has anything to do with the S-Voice speech to text...
The issue has also happened to me on a pebble and android wear.. I think it has more to do with the connection between the watch and the phone. What phone are you using?

I can honestly say this fixed it. May not be the idea of the app, but has for me anyway.
Good day all,
I ve had this watch for almost a year now and I still cant get SVoice to function similarly to OK Google on my Android Wear watch. Any advice?
It either doesnt hear me or my favorite part is when I say "text so and so" it will tell me that person is not in my contacts list.
Also is it me or does HERE navaitgator not work great (Im in NYC) as well as Google Maps on a wear watch? Maybe Im comparing too much..But there are serious quality dips here.
I asked the same question awhile ago and got zero response. Near as I can tell all it does is record a voice memo with no Reminder functions. Which is a shame cuz I'd love to have that. I can still read a Reminder on my watch from the phone though.
S Voice couldn't call a particular person or any other to be exact, then I added that person to a "buddy" list as a favorite and S Voice was able to recognize and call. I tried to do some navigation, but was getting a route only overview, no directions. I think it is possible to install Here Maps on the watch or it may need to be installed on the phone to function. Will try tomorrow.
Yeah, it's not Google, for sure. I wish there was some way the S2 would work with Google but apparently that's out.
Feedback for S Voice
Hi all,
We'd like to know more about the issue you're having with S Voice.
Can you please share the device information?
Please feel free to reply through here or on private message.
S Voice team @ Samsung
I use both gear S and S2. The gear s I use for work with a work sim and I can say "call <name>" and it dials from my work number even though the contact is on the phone, same for text. Is it a permission issue you're having? Though I do use a Samsung phone so maybe that helps, but to be honest I've tried the gear S wear port and found a new love for tizen on the S and S2, it's not pretty but does what I need and has best by far battery life.
