I searched around on androlib and googled couldnt find exactly what I am looking for. I use my exchange activesync calendar alot and use the notes in there to describe what my appointment is regarding. Its usually a couple paragraphs. That way I can refresh myself when I get to the appt. It is very hard to type long notes like this even with swype. I was wondering if there was an app that i could do speech to text with and it do a good job. With swype i havent figured out how to turn on the voice thing like with the stock keyboard, but that one seems to have lots of errors it words. Hope someone knows of something that will work for my application.
TIA
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.
Hi all!!!
This is my first post!! i would like to show you my new app, its called Whatsapp Voice Commander, you can imagine what it does xD.
Work this way:
open app, you have three buttons, first one will send a message, second will open whatsapp and will read new messages, third one will finish the app and stops listening for whatsapp events.
IMPORTANT: when started to listen, screen will NOT turn off until you finish with third button.
To activate this app, go to settings->Accessibility and activate whatsapp voice commander. Then open app, check the first checkbox and now you can press the button you want!
Only works on Android 4.1 or higher (at least should work with 4.2)
Any feedback is greatly appreciated, also i am opened to new ideas or new functions. It shouls understand all languages but coded sentences are in english right now (just asking for a name and a message when sending messages).

Thanks!
Nobody tried it?
No sorry I dont think anyone would like to open an app with their voice
I need help. I want to assign commands to certain words. For example if I want to set a reminder to CALL my brother or TEXT my brother I want a link to the words so it will call right there instead of coming out the app going to my app drawer and finding the call or text app. Can someone help me.
I'd check out Tasker, in you have not already. There are thousands of scripts written for it, or roll your own.

So, basically, you are looking for a shortcut creating app right?
Dear all,
This application was inspired by the fact that there are great demand on editing and sending quick SMS, without much action from your hands (no keyboard typing, minimum screen touches). Unfortunately, current applications on the market do not provide an adequate handsfree experience, as they still require many clicks on the screen (search for contacts, select contacts, switch to message text box, etc.). Besides, most of them do not allow multiple sentences to be inputted at one go, as you might need to click to the listen button again and again to add new sentences. Furthermore, punctuation marks and capitalization between sentences are not well managed.
Given the aforementioned reasons, we have created this application, which provides:
Handsfree contact searching
Handsfree contact select and unselect
Handsfree message editing
Support multi-sentence message. You just need to speak sentence by sentence
Support punctuation marks. You can speak "Hello comma how are you doing question mark", the result will be "Hello, how are you doing?". You can also add punctuation marks at the end of your sentence just by saying it.
Auto capitalization at the beginning of sentence
Support sentence or message deletion with voice command
Send message to SMS application with voice command
Adding emoticon with voice commands
Let us make the SMS editing by voice a real handsfree process.

If you see that this application can potentially interesting to you, please don't hesitate to take a look and try it. Your feedbacks will be strongly appreciated and valuable for the evolution of our application.
Best regards

Click to collapse
This is a good variant. I think it's better to use apps that have templates or ready-made phrases, of course you need to touch the screen, but a minimum of touches. I'm comfortable with this. You should always aim at a large number of people. I have an example of such an application for images with text like sms https://www.maxaboutsms.com/love_sms.aspx . I use them because they are cute, they can be quickly and conveniently searched for and used. It is also very easy to install. I wish you good luck, I like your approach. People like you do mobile and unique things.
Dear, thank you for your feedback . Definitely, that is also a potential approach. For our application, we target the minimization of screen touch. For now, with our application, users can search for contacts, select/unselect targeting contacts, edit message (add sentences and delete sentences), and forward the message to the default SMS application, with only ONE single touch (to start the voice recognition). With this approach, we believe that it fits various use cases in which users prefer to minimize the number of touches on screen. And last but not least, your messages will not be limited by a finite number of ready-made phrases :-D
UPDATE: Version 1.0.1
We have just released an update which:
Fixes the issue on voice recognition library visibility on Android 11 (for those who have experience with Android 11, this library visibility is no stranger to them)
Improves the flow between searching contacts and editing message. For example, if the application is currently focusing on the message editing, and you say "Drop all contacts", the application will unselect all selected targeting contacts for you, and also switch the focus to contact autocomplete box.
Allows users to re-enable the tutorial. It will be useful if you forgot how the application works and want to see the showcases again.
