ummm ….. yeah …. Unless I’m mistaken, the droid does this natively w/o having to install an additional App. My Droid X does anyway !!!
Uhh, your mistaken. This is much more then google voice.. Can’t wait for the 2.2 update for the X so I can have the voice actions app!
Yea buddy… the regular Voice Seach on the Droid looks up ur spoken words online..but Voice Actions perform an action like open apps for whatever u tell it u want to do…Awesome man. I watched the Google Press Brief on youtube bout it all.
The voice command feature on my EVO is not very good. It will not:
Send email. Set alarms. Lousy on “note to self”. Terrible voice to text translation. You have to speak like a cro-magnon for it to get simple phrases correct. It’s nowhere near as intelligent as the little YouTube vid displays. You’ll be walking around the streets sounding like a moron using the voice command feature.
Can you replace the default voice search function with this?
so what app is this?
all I can find is “Voice Action”…..and reviews are suck, is there anyone can tell me what can I download for hands free text?
Everything I say shows up in a google search. If I say; “send text to [recipient]“ google displays search results for “send text to [recipient]“ The “navigate to [address/city/business name]“ works well. The “call [contact name]” will require me to misspell some of my foreign born contacts with more easily understood names. The “listen to [artist/song/album]“ performs a google search on that phrase.
