I've just orded myself a sensation but have noticed that theres seems to be a lack of info about if the sensation does voice dialing?
If it does does it do it so you dont have to be holding/looking at the phone?

If your contacts are synced with google just press and hold the search key and use voice search. If your contacts are synced with anything else go get the voice dialer apk from the themes and apps forum
sent from HTC Sensation
Cool, will that work with a bt hands free kit as well?
maybe? there was a thread going around about that in the General forum & IIRC the someone found a work around.
Use vlingo
Never a straight answer
This man asked a question if his new highly expensive, state of the art, phone would do voice dialing.
If you intend to do voice dialing with bluetoth, it will not work. The only thing that may help is a blue ant Q2, which stores your contacts in the earpiece. You also need to have phone commands built into the phone software which I believe comes with gigerbread 2.3
I have asked direct questions in these forums and am amazed at the indirect answers that are given. always a work around. Why not just say this expensive toy will not hands free voice dial.
Sorry for the rant but some people dont even know what an apk is.
Look into the blueant Q2 jawbone also make the Era but in my opinion not as good
Thanks.
it does seem odd that new tech doent have something that was included in phones many years ago. Exp with more and more places requiring hands free driving now.

Yes it does. As others todl you first you have to install "voice dialer" and then 3rd party "voice speed dial" program. My favorite one is "cyberon voice speed dialer" with that program i can assign voice tags to my contacts and all i have to do after pressing the BT button is call that name example "john" and it will dial the number i assigned for that name.
good luck
The sensation has voice dialer by default just launch the phone app and you will see a mic icon on the left

vlingo for sensation?
whoever the moron is that keeps telling people to use vlingo for the voice dialing on the htc sensation is definetely an idiot as this app is not offered for the sensation and if you try to install the apk it will brick your device. i recomend you not listen to that idiot.

you must never have tried to use it or you would not have just showed your lack of intelligent thought. the sensation does not have voice dialing and if you try to use that mic to voice search in the phone app it will only search for the contact. it is quicker to do it manually. so before you post,please make sure you know wtf you are talking about

Hi. There's a few call recording apps in the market but IMHO none are that great, and most of them haven't been updated for 2.0 yet. With N1 hardware is it possible to build a better, solid app? I do a lot of interviews over the phone (am a researcher) so something like this would be golden.
isnt this illegal? oo, unless you tell them the conversation could be recorded.
I was using Air Voice on the HTC Hero, and as said, it is broken on Android 2.x.
I am so looking for this kind of app on the Nexus one.
Google Voice can do it, I think... See here. I just read through it, but I'm not exactly sure what the restrictions are. Basically you just press 4 during or before your conversation, but a note at the bottoms says:
"Note: at this time you can only record calls you receive on your Google Voice number. You can't record calls you initiate using our Click2Call from our website or the Return Call feature from your voicemail."
But it doesn't mention anything about if you place a call using your phone. I don't know if this helps you any, unless you make the interviewer call you first
Ultimate Voice Recorder v2.3.4 Will get 'er done.
Tasker also will do the trick. It's not in the Market yet [get it here] but it was one of the top three utilities in ADC2. It's like Locale on steroids. Takes a bit to get used to but it's amazing
Thanks for the input.
1) Google Voice only records on calls made to you GV number. I'm not really using GV yet (except for voicemail), and most of the calls I initiate.
2) Ultimate Voice Recorder -- not clear to me its been upgraded for Eclair. I've contacted the developed, but we'll see -- its reviews are middling.
3) Tasker. Wow, I've just downloaded it, and don't know about its recording capabilities, but everything else, damn, it could change a lot of the way I use my phone. Thanks for that rec!
The way tasker is worded it sounds like it only records your outgoing voice.
+1 on Ultimate Voice Recorder
I believe the problem is Android does not let you intercept the incoming audio during a call. I'd love to see a framework change for rooted phones that would allow this. After all there are plenty of countries that don't think its odd for you to be able to record your own conversations with someone.

If you have Verizon or AT&T, maybe you can ask the US Gov't for all your conversations. They record all of them and store them in a US data base and have been doing it since before 2000.
Tmobile was the only one who said ..."Warrant please".
Sorry, I couldn't resist. I still haven't forgotten.

I didn't realize that about T-Mobile. That racks up points in their favor for me too.
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!
Best of luck with it! I love it so far!

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?

? It's in the second post of this thread.
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.
I wanted an application that could do this but all I could find was the one from blueAnt which only works with their specific bluetooth device...
You could use Tasker and use this profile - price looks high but it's VERY powerful once you know what you're doing.
Comes with a trial mode for around seven days.
+1 for Tasker. Brilliant app.
I have my 'in car' profile set to read texts - on text receipt it pauses the music player, then reads the senders contact name, and then the body of the text. Awesome.
i was planning on getting the blueant Q1 (just found it for $25). are you saying it won't work with handcent in reading a txt message?
edit: forget it...answered my own question by going to their site. "Hear text messages read aloud on your Q1 when connected to an Android device with our Android application."
What about the vlingo application. It has an email and sms reader that reads the message out loud when activated, but I haven't managed to get it to read the message through the Bluetooth headset

On my N1, I used vrecorder and when I had the phone call on speaker phone it recorded fine. The widget worked well. Vrecorder does not show up in the market for me with the NS. Anyone know a good app to use? Everything I tried does not work.
Anyone?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
vrecorder must be a protected app. It should show once Google fixes the Market to recognize our phones.
Meanwhile, if you're rooted, there are ways to change the build.prop file to make them show for you. I'll leave that for other threads, where it's well explained and easily found with the search.
I don't have a specific app recommendation for you, though.
Vrecorder shows up in the market now. It doesn't record calls good though. I think the Nexus One recorder calls better while on speaker phone because there was a second Michael near the speaker. While on speaker phone with the Nexus S and recording, you can't hear the other end when you play the recording.

One-way recording
Before, when I was using Galaxy S, it was possible to record during a call.
But it was only possible one-way recording, that means, only my voice.
Now, with my Nexus S, it is not possible to record at all during a call.
There is no sound.
Anyone know my?
Using app "Voice recorder" and "Note everything"
Played with S Voice for 2-hours and still no real good continuous success. I have an exchange account so phone locks with pin S voice does not wake properly in this manner...
With my old HTC if the phone was pin locked and off I could hit my BT button and say "Call Home" and it would dial and connect. With S Voice it tries but with the screen pin locked it just fails.... 1 out of 10 tries I might get the bell so I can say my command...and wake function does not let you say a command to wake deviec with BT headset on/active...
What other voice dialing app can I use to replace S Voice?
Vlingo is pretty good at dialing and texting especially hands free ( in car mode). This phone REALLY should of had google search/google voice when it was introduced. I know JB wasn't officially released yet when it was launched. Samsung should really update to JB and incorperate google voice if it wants to compete with the Iphone 5.

I couldn't get S Voice to work consistently with my BT. I found the voice dialer.apk from an ICS rom and installed it on my phone. It works great for voice dialing.
EVA or AVX
I have AVX on my phone - it's the most fully-featured of any voice app. It's not good at answering general knowledge questions (it's not for that), but it rocks at controlling every aspect of your phone via voice. Can even interact with Tasker! And it supports texting via Google Voice which I use. Also AVX's younger sister EVA which is the exact same app, but different GUI and cheaper - all the same functionality though. Do a youtube search for AVX on Galaxy S3.
I've used S-Voice, Vlingo, Iris, and a few others. My personal favorite is SpeakToIt Assistant found in the play store.
However, one thing I do like about S-Voice is the Wolfram Alpha integration.

Robin in the app store is great. I believe it will be the closest siri competitor. It offers a variety of ways to control your phone through voice and gives quirky answers to a variety of questions.
As far as I can tell, SpeakToIt doesn't support bluetooth - Speaktoit doesn't listen to the bluetooth device's mic.and
Speaktoit doesn't trigger with the bluetooth device's command.

I like s-voice too. I think that the people who think it sucks are simply expecting too much from it.
This whole siri/s-voice/Google now is still a new mobile technology and people really shouldn't have such high expectations from it so early on...
While Google Now is still an evolving technology, I've been impressed with how fast the recognition has become in the latest release. I look forward to the next iteration.
