I know this has been asked before, but is there anywhere (or any way) to get TTS voices like GLaDOS, HAL 9000, Cortana, Morgan Freeman, Alan Rickman, etc...? I have been checking out using Tasker to set up a sort of voice assistant for while I'm in my car and connected to Bluetooth, but I don't really like the normal voice. I have checked out IVONA, but the voices it sorts are very basic.
Is there anywhere, even with hacks, to get "special" voices for TTS?

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.

Google Voice... Press 4 During a Call to Start / End =)
Then you can find them in recordings online or via the app.
Enjoy!

Been wondering about that via Google Voice.
After reading more info about it. Looks like any calls initiated by you can't be recorded.

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"
Hi, I've been tying to search for an app maybe you can help me.
I'm looking for an app that I can configure that when I connect to specific wifi (probably school or college or even piano teacher [ they all got wifi, it's so common in these days..]) so it will automatically makes my phone on silent or vibrate...
And when log out will return to normal.
It can save the imberesting ringing mobile at class and also can not be forgotten at home at room hidden behind couch or something at silent because I forgot to return it back from study and so I wont hear any calls..
You probably know what I'm talking about from life and maybe also wondering where is the guineas that will invent that app already..
So if you know any app that can do this, please tell me
Or if you are an app-Creator, here's an idea...
Thanks,
Yarden.

Try tasker
Enviado desde mi MB860 usando Tapatalk
Yes, Tasker or AutomateIt should do what you want.
i will 3rd the vote for tasker. I use it and its a great app
+1 tasker
I have this exact profile for my classes
Llama https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kebab.Llama&feature=search_result does this sort of thing extremely well and has the significant virtue of being free. It's well-supported and quite functional, and (for me at least) much easier to set up than Tasker.

Is there a command I can use to open a particular app on my Skyrocket?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Cyberon Voice Commander works great with the Skyrocket. It's in the Market. One tip: Go into settings and de-select the apps that you know you'll never want to start with Voice command. This just lessens the chance of Cyberon picking the wrong app. Same with Contacts.
Speaktoit personal assistant....it's on the market...opens every app that i've tried so far...plus it's good for a laugh
Vlingo
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Thanks, guys. I appreciate all the suggestions.
Cyberon was too expensive to try first.
I downloaded Skyvi but it couldn't understand what I meant by "Open iHeart Radio".
So it got uninstalled.
I then tried Speaktoit.
We flirted with each other.
But she made me repeat everything twice.
I had to speak kind of loud the second time around with each command.
And couldn't open iHeart Radio.
So she got dumped.
I then tried Vlingo and it worked perfectly on the first try.

I'll give this a try as it says that it is "Siri" for Androids.
Try Voice Actions. In my opinion its the best. And fyi...use the menu button, you'll like even more
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda premium
Vlingo had a great start but hasn't been all that awesome since then.
It opens apps just fine by voice command.
But it's sucked horribly for trying to tell it to "navigate to...." type commands.
I live in India so I don't have voice mail on my mobile like carrier. I would like an app like the Symbian Advanced call manager which after some time of not picking up the phone plays a recorded message and records the message the other person has given. Like an Answer machine. Free apps are preferred.
Thanks

i don't think there is one mate..... the old symbian Nokias did...
that was because they were able to send sound directly to the caller ... i dunno if its a hardware limitation ... i really hope someone can figure that out... :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Afaik it is not available on android, there is some limitation on Android for this.
If i missing one and only thing from my Nokia then this is same.
Even i have used interactive voice call Master, the best and most configurable call manager.

I always used to believe Android is open source and there are no limitations but this thing falsified all assumption.
I badly miss it.
Yeah... I was thinking If We have a answering call app kicking in when We rejected a call. So the app takes over with a greeting message and records the callers message into the memory card?
Nope? Nothing of that sort?

The only Symbian feature that I miss
Sorry to bump into this really old thread but recently Google implemented AI calling and Xiaomi too which not just plays a recorded message to the caller, instead it actually 'talks' to the caller based on the input we give which makes me wonder if this is possible via an app now
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.

I agree SpeakToItAssistant is the best that I have found. Skyvi is pretty good but there is too many ads.

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 simply took the google widget and resized it smaller so all you see is a bit more then the microphone icon.
I just press that and it works like a charm. (I use Go Launcher so I don't know if this works on the standard launcher) .
You get used to this pretty quickly.
Use AVX... you wont regret it.

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.
