Named on of the "Top 10 Apps for Android Phones" by the New Your Times .... Runs on Android 2.1 or higher ... No need for Root (runs on UnRooted devices)
FROM PC WORLD REVIEW:
" Speaktoit Assistant is a virtual buddy for your Android device that uses natural language technology to answer questions, find information, and connect you with various web services, such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, and many others. .....The Assistant works with your smartphone to get maps, search for news and images, look up weather reports, convert currency and measurements, send email, and much more. .....No need to memorize special commands or complex interfaces - simply speak or type in everyday language and the Assistant will understand and respond with what you need. ... If you want a Siri-like app on your 'droid, this is one of your better options. " PC WORLD

I downloaded S-Voice over a week ago. I was somewhat impressed, but kept running into a number of problems.
So I continued researching. I tried Vlingo, and number of other voice assist apps.
After all this, I've come to the conclusion the Speaktoit Assistant App is the best.
Give it a try, I think you will like it. Especially, if you have been frustrated witht he crippled functionality of S-Voice so far.
So for now, I say "Forget about S-Voice, the Speaktoit Assistant App, is Prettier, Faster, Better and Easier to Score"
(( I like the Pretty Girl Avatar. If you don't like pretty girl avatars, you can change it to a Dude, or even a Microphone ))

Been using Speaktoit Assistant for a looong time
That's why I always laugh a little when someone mentions Siri or S-Voice
Speaktoit craps on them both
I guess you should post some more info about that apk
Just remember that the leaked S-Voice isn't a finished product.

I haven't used this one yet because the UI is hideous.
"Prettier" - I'm sorry, what..?

Neither is Speaktoit.. it's a work in progress and it does fantastic. It's in the market for free, try it if you want to see for yourself. IMO, works way better than Siri, and my friends who have the iPhone agree..
You can change the avatar to be an microphone icon and use your background

I will concur, this is a great app.

1) That's the problem with applications being grabbed from a phone that hasn't hit the market yet and run on phones that aren't "officially" supported - somehow people still blame the developers.
2) Tell me if you understand these questions....
What is David Wright's career batting average?
What time is Grimm on tv?
Once a Voice Assistant can understand questions like that I will call it "useful". To me, all these programs are still in development stage. I've tried all of them (except S Voice) and they are all limited to pre-programmed commands and hit-or-miss some very simple everyday questions.

Best vlingo by far. Once navigation is back, it will be my daily driver.

Yeah, but where does Speaktoit get its information from? Both S-Voice and Siri get their info from Wolfram Alpha.
I'm waiting for Google's Assistant, aka Project Majel, to hit. I'm sure the Nexus devices will be among the first to get a taste. Instead of using Wolfram Alpha, Assistant will use Google's own search engine and their new Knowledge Graph.

Wow, I just discovered that you can go into Settings and Customize your avatar.
I managed to enhance my already pretty avatar by changing her hair, eyes, lips, nose, etc.
Now when she speaks to me, I understand her in a more personal way.
You can also Build you own avatar,
Change You Avatat's Body, Hair, Brows, Eyes, Glasses, Nose, Mouth, Clothes
Change your avatar's Voice, FemaleUSA, MaleUSA, FemaleUK, MaleUK
Change your avatar's background.
You can also change your Te3xtToSpeech Engine - Google or Pico or Samsung (if installed)
I'm having fun with this SpeakToIt voice assistant app.
To be honest, im looking forward to utter since it seems to have the best functionality overall

App design is like a cartoon! Maybe if it was made more professional looking, I could use it. Now it is just a toy trying to ride on Siri's popularity. I would rather use Galaxy S voice. Even though it sucks. These days looks go hand in hand with performance.
Today I reinstalled the CM rom on my phone and while I was upgrading my apps, a notification appeared on my phone making me upgrade Google Play Services.
I understand that it is a necessary app and all of that, but did you realized about the high punctuation it has in the Play Store? If you read the opinions, on the most useful section, they talk all about the same: "I can't upgrade this app because it is so big and now I can't use my phone" and all those people give between 1 and 3 stars, but the app has 3.7.
So I changed the section to "Newest first" and started reading opinions. There were a lot of then with comments like "P" or "nice" and 5 stars. If you also look the profile of those people who comment on that app, you can find profiles with any information, just a 5 stars punctuation on that app. And nothing more.
A screenshot of one of this profiles can be found here: nicovell3.es/playServices.png
I suppose these profiles are generated by Google workers to elevate the punctuation of that app, and I understand that they want it to have a good image to make people trust in downloading that app but... I'm not sure that's the correct way.
What I want to ask is: if Google controls in that way the Play Store and we continue trusting that company, what will prevent it from making us believe what they want?
I post this here because I think this must concern all the app developers which produce apps to post them in the Play Store...
I've just finished my first ever made app and I'm very excited to have it on Google Play but to be honest, it's hard to get noticed in the swarm of other apps so if you're interested, try it and give me a review or maybe share it with your friends if you find it useful.
My app is a voice recognition app which can make user's custom voice commands. It has a special feature which I call "Voxce head". It helps you make your commands outside of the app, virtually anywhere.
It's very simple and very light (to be honest, I'm not quite good enough to make complex apps).
It uses the voice recognition mechanism of Google Voice Typing and therefore many languages can be recognized and some are supported to work offline.
Have a look at it and give me your opinion about it.
Thanks in advance.

So what are your opinions on the Assistant on Pixel compared to Siri on iPhones?
Does googles AI backed Assistant steal the thunder?
Dude, have you been living on another planet for the past few years and just landed back on earth? Siri is a joke. Google Now is miles ahead. No one knows about google assistant yet, supposedly is better than Google Now.
I heard little about Google's Assistant and decide to search on google to gather more information about Assistant and finally I reach on one blog which gives detail info about the comparison of Google's Assistant with Siri and Alexa.
I am a newbie on Xda forums so I can't insert the link in my reply. But, I am telling you a name of the site and the name of the topic on that site which you have to open.

Google now was miles ahead, the new assistant is now light-years ahead. The assistant is just Google Now + AI. In all seriousness, Siri is a joke.lol. All the thunders been with Google search from the beginning, Siri was gimick.

Siri isn't so much not in the same league as Google's voice search and Assistant, it's not even playing the same game. The lack of contextual awareness and inconsistent fallback behaviour (will it offer to do a web search? Will it just say it doesn't understand?) really let Siri down.

Not to mention Apple's piss poor voice recognition. Google nailed very accurate voice recognition and Apple still struggles with it. In fact, google even does contextual voice recognition and its miles ahead of Apple. i.e., I recently voice searched for "Mary Brigh hospital" and google first recognized it as "Mary Bright" but quickly corrected itself since it knew where I was, and knew that there is a "Mary Brigh" near me. It also does it regularly when I search for specific hotels or POIs near me. Smart stuff.
I ask Siri "How late is Family Video open tonight?" Siri response "I could not find you that answer", or something like that. I ask Google "How late is Family Video open tonight?" Google response "Family Video is open until 10:00pm."
I ask Siri, "Call Family Video." Response: "I have two Family Videos, one on this street and one on that street. Would you like me to call the one on this street?" I ask Google, "Call Family Video." Response: "Calling Family Video."
Hi, XDA!
I am a developer and coding educator.
As I was teaching, I received various feedback from school teachers, students, parents, and private tutors.
Based on that, I decided to develop and educate myself
As a result I launch app called "Commoncoding Builder"
It's simple. It's based on block coding application.
** If you know a coding program called 'Scratch'
you will be able to understand how to use it more easily.
my app can be run by both mobile devices and PCs.
Now, if you are reading this on your smart phone,
We recommend you enter Google Play Store and download it now!!
---> Search for " commoncoding " or " commoncoding builder " on Google Play Store
What if you could create your own alarm application this morning that woke you up?
What if you could create the Flash-Light app that you used to find something in the dark last night?
Just 90 seconds, you can build it!
I'd like to hear your diverse opinions.
Whether that's good or bad, or if you want something added, something doesn't run..etc...
Thank you :good:
