Google Voice Keyboard - General Topics

Want a keyboard with a huge google voice button and a small delete button is there anything like this out there? would it be difficult to make?
It would make money lol I would buy it a cool 2 button keyboard one to input voice and the other one to delete mistakes
I love google voice it is the fastest way of writing and its perfect when you're alone (unless you can speak normally and it will look like you are speaking in a normal call)
does someone know were to change the stuff of "associate your google voice speech with your gmail account" I think I want to activate it if that way I can talk faster with no errors!

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....

Decent free text-to-speech app?

Does anyone have any recommendations for a FREE text to speech app?
I currently have eSpeak, which Google Translate pointed me to, and it sounds horrid. It sounds even worse on the Navigation app (turn by turn directions).
Thanks.
Text to Speech - Voice Reconition
I just hope that one of these days we will be able to get voice reconition on our phones (Android) without the requirement and need to be connected to internet/wifi etc.......

Google voice with messaging app

Correct me if I'm wrong but there's no way to integrate google voice with the native sms app right ? (if I don't currently have phone service)
But is there any other app on the market that will let me use google voice to send texts besides the official google voice app ?
I don't like it because it feels clunky and when you press return it sends the message and that really bothers me.
I am not aware of any other google voice apps. I hate the return send too it never fails to cause a headache. You could always access it through the mobile browser I have better success with that.
Rift
At least I'm not the only one =P
thanks the web does work a bit better.
Is there anyway to make a web page as an icon on the homescreen like ios ?
Edit: I got , but is there a way to change the icon picture ?

Google Voice Search for voice dialing my contacts

I am trying to use Google Voice Search for voice dialing. But if I say "Call Home" (**edit - home is an entry in my Contacts) it will search the internet and give me choices to call Home Depot, etc. Is there a way to use (and limit) Google Voice Search to my contacts? In fact, my contacts don't seem to be involved in the search at all.
What am I missing - Google Voice Search is used for dialing contacts isn't it? If so, I can't be the only one to have noticed this. If not - I won't be offended at being told it is a dumb question...

Do the other features of google search work such as Navigate to "insert address" ? But yeah I think it is supposed to be able to call out if I remember correctly. Is it picking up the keyword of Call ? have you tried going through your other contacts to see if it dials those correctly?
Looks like the issue is that it only looks to the Google Contacts not Phone Contacts (all the tests I made were Phone Contacts only)
I have a couple of contacts that are Phone only - I added them again as Google Contacts, then joined them with the original Phone record. Now it works (at least as well as it can). Sure do wish I could specify to search contacts only - wouldn't be so hard...
Thanks for your response - it got me digging a bit deeper.

[Q] Fully native google voice

I have been a google voice user since it was GrandCentral and an Android user since the Tmobile G1 (i even pre-ordered it). It's ridiculous that despite it being a google app/service there is no true full integration with android. it's great that there are apps that can integrate text messaging but they are all lacking. When setting up calls, Clicking "place all calls from google voice" in the google voice app get the job done but a banner comes across the screen that says using google voice and sometimes dialing from that times out (I think that's what is happening)and i have to use my phone's real number then. Is there any app or rom that has True google voice integration, when i say true i mean that if when i use my phone i cant tell that its using google voice (no banners, or special messages for calls) and texting from native text messaging apps in seamlessly connected to google voice? Somethign like having a setting where u just check use google voice number for all phone services. Does anyone have any solutions? I am all ears.

I agree with you. I am a heavy Voice user and would love to know more about how I can enhance my experience. I'm using a Galaxy Nexus, and even so, the Google Voice app is not as fluid as I expect it should be. Sometimes it's choppy.
