anyone tried Vlingo? just downloaded and gave it a test and it's very accurate.
Not tried the updated Google Voice yet as I have a custom ROM, so can't auto update, but Vlingo is definitely better than the Voice Dialler that came with my ROM

My buddy has Nuance Dragon Dictation on his iPhone. The other day, in an effort to show off, he turned it on while I was talking (slight invasion of privacy lol). Initially I refused to speak but I saw what he was doing and started talking I was very impressed with how accurate it was. Now I want to be the show off and get this working on my phone, but unfortunately there is no version for Android yet.
Today, I decided to try both the new version of Google Voice Search and Vlingo Voice search. No matter what I do, I cannot get either program to recognize anything I say even though I am speaking perfectly clear English. Is there something special I have to do to get this to work right?
I just tried Vlingo. Works great!!!
My S Voice lady's voice used to sound pretty decent. Now it just sounds like a crappy robotic terrible sounding voice and I can't figure out why it would have changed? I've played with all the setting i could think of?
Any ideas?
i noticed also mines is starting to sound like the google maps navigation lady but for some reason s voice has been alot better at recognizing what i say

Are you stock or using a custom touchwiz ROM? Have you tried clearing svoice data and cache?

Make sure your on English US and not English UK. The UK voice is terrible

I noticed this too. I have also tried pretty much every setting I can find. It sounded good one day, then started sounding crappy and robotic the next . I'm on stock rom not rooted.
have any of you used my guide to replacing s voice with Google now by any chance? I noticed my s voice did this after I made the switch, possibly due to the offline voice typing.

I have not used the guide to replace S Voice with Google Now. I have also tried clearing the app cache and settings. I am also 100% stock. It sounded good one day, and then the next the voice had changed into a very robotic sounding voice. Very strange. I don't know if they changed their TTS engine or something, but it's certainly worse than it was.
In my settings for everything else, I use Ivona TTS, and it's great. However SVoice doesn't seem to use it.

Yep, this happened to mine too. I even tried re-flashing the entire ROM via Odin and it still reverts to that robotic lady. What I ended up doing was going to "Applications" and disabling the Samsung TTS engine as well as the Google one. Doing this allows you to use Ivona or SVOX. Not sure why S-Voice doesn't seem to go by the system settings. Anyhow, it would be interesting to see why this has happened! But I actually just disable S-Voice and started using Speaktoit Assistant which has it's own voice (and uses the ones on your phone if you like) and seems to be much better than S-Voice. Just a thought.
Try clearing app data then check.

Hi Guys,
I have the same problem, further investigation indicates that somehow my Galaxy S3 (rooted) only uses Samsung TTS engine which sounds robotic, even I choose Google TTS in the language and input settings as TTS output. I had to disable samsung TTS to use google TTS. hope this helps
Voice Search was running just fine, then one day it started acting up (it would just freeze) I use the app called Assistant, which runs through Google Voice Search I assume because it was also freezing up when Voice Search started acting up. I tried un-installing then re-installing voice search, but that was a no go. I re-flashed the ROM I use (FreeGS3) to see if that was the problem, and it was not.
No...But that sounds familiar.

I've been having issues with it saying "no server connection" in full bars of 3g...but nothing like what you're running into. I suppose it could be your ROM, but I don't have that much experience. PA worked fine for me while I had it.
Is it just me or has S voice improved in the new update. It seems to be faster, still not as good as Google Now, but it seems to me its better than it was in ICS.

Personally I don't see me using it ever again, google now does everything s voice does, but a lot faster.

Can Google Now perform voice dialing features from a Bluetooth headset? I really miss that about my BlackBerry, the voice recognition for calling people from my headset was superb. It absolutely sucked in S-Voice on ICS.
I'll never use S-Voice again, except to ask it stupid questions. :laugh: I've tried to use it to navigate somewhere and it couldn't find a simple street address, so I had to close that, over up the nav app and it found it right away. Hopefully Google Now will do it right.

Yes it can. But you have to freeze s voice to get it to work right.

I prefer Google now over s voice, Google now feels more polished. I found this video while back that goes over some of the cool things Google now can do.

Google Now is awesome. Its the only app which made me flash all the buggy JB leaks from other carriers...
I like GoogleSVoice
Agreed about the voice dialing. I have disabled S-Voice yet Google Now still tries to do an internet search on everything even if I specifically say to dial a contact.
Is there a way to launch goggle search with the home button (like S Voice)?
i heard that they had made some improvement to s voice with jelly bean but google now is too sweet to switch back from
Hi all!
I got my RM8P yesterday. I really like the device, but definitely see the software lackings that everyone has mentioned.
My current bugs:
1. I copied my data from my Pixel 6 Pro to the RMP8. It also copied the lock screen text I had "My Google Pixel 6 Pro, *****es". So when I go into personalized setting to try to change this text, it won't let me. When I click the option, it just goes back to the Settings menu.
2. More importantly, my voice dictation/voice to text functionality is now broken. It was fine until this afternoon when I updated a bunch of apps in Play Store. Now, no voice dictation is working for any app. I've tried every possible app and rebooting. The OK Google still works so it's "hearing" my voice in general.
Any feedback?
Thanks!
EDIT: I figured out that enabling Google Assistant (Hey Google) broke the voice dictation. Strange that it breaks it.

I was about to tell you that disabling hey google fixed the dictation thing. The first os layer is funny af, it does that and doesn't carry the swipe between apps gesture. And a bunch of things, I worked the hey google with the swipe from a corner gesture tbh I don't use Google assistant that much but still it was a thing

I don't use hey Google assistant too often, but I do use it occasionally. It's just strange that I have to choose between enabling that functionality and enabling voice dictation. I guess I'll choose the voice dictation and give up Google assistant or enable it when I feel I need to use it at times. I'm not sure it's a Red Magic thing as it may be a broader Android thing.

Pretty sure it's only a redmagic thing. Their support has been largely useless when I attempted to alert them to this issue.

Hello, I have Alexa installed as the main assistant, if you select it as the default transcription program, it already works for you to transcribe messages. The failure after several tests I have realized that when you select Google as an assistant it stops working, the mobile does not listen to you. I have already opened several incidents on the Magic network page but they only tell me that I formatted the mobile.
