I have installed the leaked Froyo release, and reinstalled all apps and settings using instuctions found on this forum. That all went very smoothly, so, thanks to the people here. I have to report one error in the system that has been reported in other forums many times. The new froyo voice actions from voice search do not work properly or at all in some cases. The new voice search understands my voice perfectly, but then fails to perform the voice activated commands ("voice actions") as google intended. If i say "Call John Smith", voice search performs a google search for the phrase "call john smith", rather than calling John Smith (John Smith would be a google contact). I spent quite some time looking for a solution but found none that work. Disabling contact sync, deleting the contact cache and resyncing from gmail does not work. I doublt I will be the only one who filnds this problem. If anyone is aware of a fix for this, please post a link.
Thanks

It's not a bug or a problem as a lot of people think of it. Voice search and Voice commands have been split in the Mesmerize build. This is not like a regular Google Vanilla build. Both work, and work very well, just not as most people are used to. I've posted a couple of replies to this same type of "problem" before, but you have explained yourself a lot better than most people. I assume that you had experience with other Android phones with both of these features built in to one application. Personally, this is my first and only Android so it's all that I am used to.
I hope this helps explain things and help you with the issue. It's helped other people in the past.

Does that mean there's a separate application for Voice Actions?
phedelt82,
I am alittle confused as to what you are saying, Are you referring to the Nuance voice commands as separate app. I can get that to work, but it is sluggish and less accurate than the google search version. There is a google video demonstrating voice actions from inside of voice search. I think this is supposed to be part of the stock rom, no need to download a separate app. That said there is an upgrade on the market for google search that becomes available once on 2.2. With or without this, the prolem still exists.
My understanding is that in Froyo, the google search app shound first interperate the words that are being spoken. Then based on what phrase it desides has been said either performs a google search on the phrase, or if the phrase contained the right opening keyword, such as "call" or "email" or "map" or "directions", it issues a 'voice action' command to the associated app. Eclair did this with some apps such as calling reasonably well right from the stock google voice search. In Froyo, the abilty of voice search to understand what is being said I would say is improved. However, it drops the ball when it comes to passing the intended command to the app. Oddly, It will call any resturant or bussiness not in my contacts with total reliability. Something is wrong possibly when the voice search recognises the keyword "call", executes the voice action assoicated with "call" (the dailer) and then finally gets confused when it somehow fails to find the contact requested, even though it is in the google contacts.
I was wondering if I am the only one with the problem of the market, or appbrain or any other wifi app FCing randomly? Also if enabling debugging and system lagfix in CWM recovery could b my problem? Thnx in advance and fo all the excellent work the devs have done on these ROMs and Kernels.
Sent from my Mesmerize using XDA,s awesome app
I had a modem crash error xD. Factory reset fixed it. Not a big deal at all. >.>
I realize the this is a Meserize forum but I am having the exact same problem with my Verizon Fascinate that I've update the to a leaked Froyo. Other voice commands seem to work fine and "Call <business name>" works great! But if I try "Call John Smith work1" then it does a google web search for that instead of dialing that phone book entry! It's very frustrating...
I'd be willing to bet that it's the same problem and will have the same solution (since the phones are so related). So I hoope someone has fix for this.

This appears to be a common issue and so far I haven't found anyone with an answer other than to use a different app.
I have still been unable to figure this out. I have found that the people I know with HTC's and froyo or DroidX and some others do not have this problem. Did Samsung somehow create this bug putting it into touchwiz, or is this possible a defect due to the non official release?

phidelt82, can you explain what you mean by the Voice Search and Voice Actions being split? If they are split, does that mean they can be accessed separately?
Hi there,
I'm looking for a voice command app with the following features:
1. Activated via sound (no need to press a button or open an app)
2. Being able to record custom commands. That is, I'm looking for an app that does not use the google voice recognition, but one that allows me to record, say, "phone, shut up" and then make the phone recognize that as a command to mute.
I don't know if such an app is even technically possible, but if it does exist, I wasn't able to find it.
Thanks
I will be interested in this too. Trying to find this kind of apps.
The nearest app to your request is vlingo, but doesn't have the option to record custom commands for custom actions...

All vlingo does for me is force close as soon as it's opened. Shame...any alternatives?
There's an app for windows mobile called Voice2go. You can customize any voice for apps or contacts. You can let the app runs in the back ground too so when you need to dial a contact you just say the magic word. For instance I modify the command to activate it by saying a modified word like "dude" and just say the name in the contact which you have tagged your voice to it. "dude" "tea bag"... Then the app execute it by calling "tea bag"
Too bad android don't have this kind of app. It's very useful for me since English is not my language (android voice recognition is not very friendly to me)
But there's an app for android which used the same method but I haven't used it (it's not a free app) called CYBERON VOICE SPEED DIAL. Try it... Maybe that's what you're looking for.
I have stock ICS 4.0.4 on my Nexus S (i9020a) and whenever I use a voice command app likes those listed in the title, the voice sounds very depressed and just doesn't sound right. Is there anyway to fix this?

Yes, you can wait to Jelly Bean to improve the Voice Search

Oh, thank you.
I personally want my robot voice to sound as much like marvin as possible, however if that doesn't float your boat, here's a great alternative to the inbuilt voice synthesizer!
Thank you very much for recommending the alternative, Ivona Text-to-Speech HQ. I installed it and downloaded a voice and it sounds way better then the depressed robot. Haha!
Just like the title says, I would like the voice button in GO keyboard to call up Google voice typing instead of the GO speech recognition. I really like the Google input, but I can't stand the default keyboard. I guess a secondary question is whether or not there is another third-party keyboard that has this functionality already? I've got a Galaxy S3 running freeza's ROM.
Thanks.
Shameless bump in the hopes of catching the attention of someone in the know
Am I really asking the impossible here?
Can someone at least suggest a better place to go to try an get an answer to this question?
Last try...
I know I said I wasn't going to keep bumping this, but I really want it and I can't think of anywhere else to ask this question

home 2, i havent got a clue where the options being suggested are from the blogpost and from both the xda thread and stackexchange it appears bluetooth launcher hasnt been updated, i tried to use it before on my s3 wasn't great by any respect.
The main reason for is that the default option uses the us voice, which is strange as I have gone through google search, google now and many other options and they all say uk which actually from me playing around really does make the difference in voice recognition to me personally, also its soooo frickin slow to call someone on voice dialler compared to google now.

You can try using this to activate Google Now instead of the voice dialer.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kin.bluetooth_launch
Open the app, scroll down to Google Search, click it, then choose the 3rd option com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity, launch the voice dialer and you'll get an option to choose Bluetooth Launch as the default, choose that....PROFIT!!!!
Hope this helps.
disable voicedial.apk or remove it works just fine for me.

cheers all the blutooth app worked
I just wrote a simple app (improved over Bluetooth Launch for this purpose, I think). I describe it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/bt-activate-google-voice-dialer-t3012622
