S VOICE - General Questions and Answers

Can anybody tell me how or if I can get get S VOICE on epic touch? Im on the goodness rom? If not is there something like it?

Right now S Voice only works half the time anyways. It has some serious issues with server support. Check out the market for a few different "virtual assistants".
Nothing works better than Google Voice Search though.

Google Now is likely superior to s-voice in every way, but some features might not be implemented yet (and I haven't actually compared them, so here)

Hmmmm not sure .... I'm going to finish testing google now ..but so far s voice on goodness is running pretty flawless

I have never used siri tbh but I can say this. I only used svoice for a bit yesterday and compared to a lot of virtual assistant apps it worked pretty well! Still haven't dabbled in google now but it was OK!

Yah suri is the only thing applr has better then samsung atm tbh i would rarely use suri if i had it but i would like to be able to shut some isheep up.
Also i have not used google voice yet i have heard its better then suri but i wanna confirm that for myself.

S Voice completely sucks. gives almsot THE SAME results as Google Voice Search.

its really not even worth using. I would just stick to not using it, but if it really matters just get the iphone :/

Lol I defenitly have no interest in the iPhone ....I'm going to stick with freedom on android .... but like I said s voice does pretty well for the most part and I set many many appointments calendar invites and calls/texts with it today while driving ...so far not the BEST but not to shabby

I didn't find S Voice as bad as everyone says. It's not great, but I owned a 4S for awhile and Siri was really mediocre, especially when needed like in the car and hands free. S Voice didn't need to do much to be comparable, and heck it actually opens apps!
Eva/AVX is the most advanced voice assistant I've tried, especially paired with Tasker, but it's not as user friendly to the beginner.

Ok...Ok

If i want s-voice anymore theres a really nice working port here at xda

Siri's Android counterpart?

Just seen an advert for the iPhone 4gs and it was showing off the Siri function, and I was wishing it was on Android cause it looks kinda cool. I've tried a few of the copies off the Market, but they don't ever really respond with the correct answer.
Has anyone found the best Siri-type app? Or even a way to get Siri on Android?
Thanks

Ive been messing with Skyvi. They have the talking part down its just that the app still cant control your phone like syri can.
So thaths it? Iris is the best one?
iris
yes, iris can search in google, play music, n play video in youtube, search in market...
it's absolutely free...
iris
The best siri clone on android is definetly alicoid but i think it is only german...

I've tried em all, and this one's been the most responsive and accurate... still can't help but feel like siri and all it's groupies are gimmicks though.
For someone that wants something more direct, Vlingo gets the job done quickly and efficiently - and it was doing voice control before Siri made it a fad.

Try Omega. Better than Iris I think

I have Dragon Go , works really well.
If youre outside of the USA and your handset has root , then get this app
Market Enabler
Set it to USA and then search for Dragon Go on the market app on your Phone and install it that way, I live in Ireland and it works like a charm, even though the market says its not compatible in my country.
They are all rubbish, I hope they bring out something that can compete with siri, but all of the apps mentioned are terrible.

Does this mean you'll keep your phone on vibrate more often.....
I think it was the combination of the ICS update and the new update of google maps. Right after I did the ICS update, the voice was the worse I had ever heard. It had this back of the voice fluctuations, ala Gabe Lewis in the show The Office. Now, the voice sounds damn near perfect.
The new voice is from the new version of maps you get it in GB as well. Interesting that it does not use the system text to speech engine.

Skyvi (siri for Android)

Not sure if any of you have heard of this app, it's free on the play store. It's actually really nice. I love how it reads my messages and from whom its being sent from. Anyone tried it out?

they describe many more apps like "Andy" as siri for android ... every apps like this have there own bugs ...
None of them can really compete with Siri at the moment, They are like early Betas of what will be Assistant (Majel) http://androidandme.com/2012/03/app...el-now-called-assistant-slated-for-q4-launch/

I want to try skyvi. I am very new to flashing Roms and finally found one I love that offers everything I'm looking for.
But I'm still new, and learning, about different kernels, apks, etc etc. It's all overwhelming for someone who didn't even know what Rooting was a week ago.
Anyways, Skyvi crashes like instantly upon install and first run. Crashes on phone reboot, after locking up for 2 min or so.
What in the world could be causing this? I've tried so many different things. cache wipes, clear program data... etc etc.
any suggestions?

Sure there are some good assistants out there on the play store.
However I think S-Voice by Samsung is still by far the best. Got that bundled with ICS update on Note.
Anyone seen port of the same to other devices ? It will be worth a try on Sensation ..

Siri on the G2x! (...or the closest we're gonna get)

I was playing around the other day with a buddy's iPhone 4S and found Siri phenomenal. And so I have developed a strong desire to have a similar application on Android. After a quick search on the Market, I came across a ****-ton of siri-clones. They all have their pros and cons, but "iris" seems to be my favorite.

I think you guys should check it out, while it is nowhere near as sophisticated as the real thing, it's pretty fun to play around with.
Also, if anyone finds a better alternative, please share!
Evi's fun too.

siri is the dumbest **** ever... i cant tell you how many people upgraded their ip4 to an ip4s and were all like, omg siri is going to be so awesome... they dicked around with it for 2 weeks and have never used it again...

Siri assistance

Siri sucks and S Voice sucks, although Google Now is actually pretty good in my opinion.
I myself personally like "Assistant" which is a free app on the Play Store. You can customize the appearance of the avatar, change the voice (UK/US male or female) and it searches pretty much every aspect of your phone (from music, to contacts, to wikipedia etc.) when performing any request.
Here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speaktoit.assistant
Genuinely fantastic app, been using it for a while now. I suggest that folks give it try!
