Hi,
When I first installed the new Google Voice search I could only do a few actions via voice. Call, navigate to, directions and search. I couldn't do either of the send to text or email. I would say "send text peter" and it would understand what i said but just give me the option to search. I knew I had the same files as everyone else who had it all working, so it had to me something with my phone. I live in the uk so therefore have default language as English UK. Tried setting language to English US. And it worked. All voice options are now there.
So if you want to try all of the functions and don't live in the US just change your lanuage to US.
Hope that is of help.
GV always defaults to the inbox view, I would prefer it always go to Text view instead. Does anyone know how I can do this?
Love to know it myself as well.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Is this possible?
bump..
Is Google Voice closed source so it cannot be modified?
Google Voice start page at inbox
I have Samsung Galaxy 5100.
I use Google Voice a lot, both from and to my cell and from and to my desk top.
At my desk top, Google voice link automatically start you at the inbox because of this Google link:
google.com/voice?pli=1#inbox
however, if you change your URL link to:
google.com/voice?pli=1#text
you will start up with TEXTS.
At my cell, Google voice starts with inbox automatically. Even if you click left button - More - Settings - there is no place for you to start in text as default.
Hope I wrote in enough detail to deserve a count in thank meter?
Just trying some basic things on Google Voice commands on my HTC One (had since launch) and i keep getting weird errors.
If i say "send text to Adam test" it does it as i want.
However if i say send text to Karla, it searches for contacts called Carla.
Same for Rachael, searches for Rachel.
However if i switch from English UK to English US they both work fine.
Also "send text to mum" just does not work on any language. She's in the phone as Mum, but it just refuses to do it. If i say to do anything with mum it just does a google search every single time.
There must be a way to change this without changing the system language or the contacts names? Saying "send text to phil" loads up a contact called Philip so it's smart enough....

I've heard that adding a pause before the name helps in this situation. In other words say, "send text to" pause for a moment, then say the name.
Doesn't make a difference. It knows im saying "send text to mum" because it does a google search for it instead.
guys, I love the new Gear S3 but this S voice lady is horrible! is there a way to change the voice? I did try the 3 dots by the s voice on the watch to change the language to English UK voice, its better but gives you all the metric units not imperial. how can we change this to a nicer voice like the google voice? from the phone, I even downloaded the Samsung TTS different voices but nothing is happening.
Please help. thanks.
Not possible
On my note 4 my voice dictation/recognition I could use Google' voice recognition software. On the note 8 the option doesn't seem to be unavailable. I find that Bixby is not as good with speech to text conversion, and it also doesn't support as many languages, one of which I speak. I haven't found a way to change it. Any suggestions?
I had to change keyboards. Gboard or SwiftKey uses Google Voice Keyboard
Late reply, but I came across a solution and this thread while searching. Disabling the "Samsung Voice Input" system package does it.
There are two with that name, it's this one:
com.samsung.android.svoice.ime
Use something like BK Disabler if you're not rooted.
