[Q] Enable Skyrocket to Read SMS - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Hi there...
I will like to enable the Skyrocket to read SMS. I enable the Driving Mode, but the cell phone only says:
"New Message from ________"
But doesn't read the content of the message. I'm using Spanish language, you think that may be the reason?
Do I need an application or something additional??
I've install "Titanium Backup" and "SuperUser". Do they affect this function??
Thanks and regards...

No they dont affect the function. Go on the market and download vlingo. When vlingo is in car mode it will read texts too you. You can also speak text replys

Thanks for your answer! Vlingo seems to work.
Although, I'm kind of intrigued why the GSII applicattion doesn't work...
What I don't like about Vlingo, it's that it seems to need Internet Connection for "listening". I know, that depending on what I order, it would need internet, but not for calling or texting for example. Is there a way to change that?

What GSII app doesn't work??? any examples..

Maybe I misspelled it. What I meant it's that when I enable "Driving Mode", the content of the text messages are not read.
That's what intrigues me, since it's suppose that it does read the content.
Or is it that it needs a complement like "Vlingo"??
Thanks...

Speech-to-Text- Voice Recognition

Is there any ppc software out there that can do this?
I would love to use this for texting and emails?
plenty

There are services as well
Jott was the best known, but is now a pay service. You can get the voice to email/text message functionality from Dial2Do. I use it often when driving.

Thanks for the links...I'm also looking for SPEECH to text (not the reverse) solutions for WM...specifically like vlingo for Blackberry. Doesn't seem to be anything that competes with vlingo...anyone know of one?
Well I could not find one
so have put my email here http://www.vlingo.com/vlingo/vv_unsupported.jsp
for the vlingo version when its comes out
the more people to sign up the better
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that this Speech to Text conversion doesn't take place on the device, but rather the voice data is sent to a web server that decodes it and send back the text?
Is this true?

Yes. All the options till this date use a server for it as the database would be too big to be housed inside a smartphone.

Vlingo
I too used Vlingo with my Blackberry during the painful months that I had to use the Curve. It is the only thing that I miss about that device, and I too have been looking for this software. Vlingo was very smooth, and it processed everything on the device itself. Telus offers a Voice Command service, but even their proprietary version takes much longer to convert than Vlingo did.

[REQ] Vlingo InCar apk

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.
FYI, this works on the VZW with the Incredible with no problem..

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.

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.

Any application that can read SMS' out loud (possibly through a bluetooth device?)??

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

Just stumbled across this thread looking for something else. But thought I'd chime in. I use SMS Speak (the paid one, not the free one - two different companies/products), and it works great. I can get incoming texts and reply, all orally. I'm curious about the other products mentioned, though...

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.
THanks

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.
Thanks
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.

Whew, that saved me from being a jerk! Just kidding....
Just go to his website on your phone and hit the download button. Chrome to Phone is a browser extension available in Chrome, Firefox, maybe other browsers, which lets you send a URL directly to the phone to download.
Hey, unlike all the other idiots, at least I'm aware of it. Makes me smarter then doesn't it?
I will give it a shot and I will most certainly screw it up so I'll be back soon
my droid incredible does this out of the box...
Well, I think that's common sense and the sad thing is, some HTC phones have it and some don't. Makes no damn sense at all.
I had it on an HTC three years ago
What about the option of having LARGE fonts? Large enough for ol' farts like me?
NOthing. Gotta pimp my $hit to get apps on there to do it. Damn embarrassment to techs all over the world. They make a phone that can make coffee but they can't even figure out the simplest of things like hey, use the WHOLE screen for stuff, hey, have an option for large fonts, large icons, less space between icons and options for a large clock..
I think they're all idiots and that's my final answer!
try youlu address book...
the best in my opinion
Is this available in the market? I tried androlib but it's not there

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] Voice respond app

So I have been searching for hours trying to find a app that basically does the following.
When I receive a text message I would like for my phone to speak "you have a new text message from ...contact name... Would you like to hear the message?"
Then I could say yes or no depending on the location and the contact the message was from. Then be able to respond or not.
I have seen many apps that can read texts and respond with no problem but sadly none ask before reading the entire message.
Surely I can't be the only one that would like this functionality on their nexus 5.

I'm surprised that AVX and utter! don't have that functionality.
Thanks actually AVX can do it it's just not very easy to figure out the settings to set it up. Still sounds very crude and old school but it works.
