I just found this option in my defy.
Settings -> text to Speech -> install Voice Data
But this thing is grayed out. So how can i install it?
And also I would like to enable the voice dialing option. But as of now its completely faulty or it doesn't understand our accent! Is there anyway of improving this thing.
In one of my nokia mobile I have seen like, we can record the names as we say it, so that next time when we say, it will easily detect!

Well I know under the "phone" options (button), you have to maually select "announce incoming calls", but you may have already done that as well. Other than that I'm not sure why it's not working for you..
There's a little too many menus on this thing.
Settings -> Personal -> Button has "Voice Command" selected for Send Key (Hold).
Settings -> Personal -> Phone: I see nothing for incoming calls.
I don't quite know where to look for this option. Also, once there, will there be an option for reading text messages too?

sorry silly, I didn't describe that very well
settings-personal-voice command (same place you probably saw the settings mentioned in your first post). Highlight "Phone" in that list, then hit the "Options" button to the right. On the following screen, check "announce incoming calls".
Also, do the same for the "Messaging" item in that list...hightlight it and hit "Options" again. This time, make sure "High priority messages only" is unchecked.
Those are the only other voice-command related settings that I didn't hear you mention already.
awesome.. worked wonders. i didn't know each separate listing had options. weird voice though lol. thanks

Awesome, glad it's working! Yes, the interface isn't very smooth, and that voice leaves something to be desired. If you want to adjust the speed that it reads to you (I slowed mine down), there's a setting for that in Advanced Config (the app)
I've got no 'voice command' anything on my phone?

Are you using a stock ROM? I wasn't aware that there were any that didn't include MSVC. You can try the attached cab to add it, but first check in Settings -> All Settings -> Personal to be positive that you don't already have it.
I'm using that ROM from the HTC website from March.

Gotcha, I just thought it was packed in any 6.x OEM ROM. Did the cab work for you?
All I have is Buttons, Phone, Input and Keyboard Sliding Sound.
I'll try the cab.
1. Select Settings on your handset
2. Select Call Settings
3. Select Forwarding
4. Now select the appropriate Forwarding options. They vary by manufacturer. You want to forward on these conditions:
Busy
No Answer
Unavailable
Does anyone know how i get to that? I would like to use phone fusion as my voicemail, instead of sprint's.
You need to push menu on the home screen, select setting, then call settings, the voicemail settings and good to go from there, just follow any instructions from there.
The only options i have under voicemail settings is the voicemail number. I do not have a forwarding option.
Did you click the app for the program in the drawer? May have to look for it there and start the setup, because I had to the other day when I started using google voice.
I am now running CM 7.1 but had the same problem with stock ROM.
When using Voice Dial it always requires confirmation. Even when I say "Call Joe Schmoe at home" it still shows popup dialog with the list of all numbers for Joe Schmoe where I have to press the one I want. Same if only one choice is available. Even if I say "Open Calendar" - it also requires confirmation.
Is this just the way it is or am I missing something? Is there a better voice dialer that doesn't require data connection like Google Voice Search does? I am on PagePlus and don't have data turned on most of the time.
One of the things I liked about the Galaxy gear was being able to make calls easily from it. On the 360 if I use Google now and say "call John Doe" all it does is perform a web search for that term.
Is it not possible to use the 360 to dictate to your phone to call someone? I use a Bluetooth headset and it would be great to be able to make the call utilizing the 360 and not pull out my phone.
Well, for me anyway yes it does work fine. "Call Victoria on her mobile" is recognized as such, triggers call on phone, closes Google now on watch, and call is going through as I pick up my phone.
I said 'for me' because I am using a Moto X and have enjoyed this sorry of functionality for a while, so not sure if the phone is helping that process or not....
Have you tried a more unique name, maybe only one of in your address book?
I perform calls voice as well. Not sure why it isn't working for you

Does it work if you open google now from your phone and tell it to dial a contact? If so then I am not sure why it is doing that..
IF however it also doesn't dial when you use it on your phone directly, it is likely a settings issue. Fix:
1. Go into google now/google search.
2. Scroll to the very bottom of all the cards.
3. Click on the 3 dots on the bottom right side.
4. Click settings and go to Accounts & privacy.
5. Make sure that Contact recognition is check-marked and if it isn't do so.
6. Test and hopefully enjoy the feature! :fingers-crossed:
I said "call..." and it did a Google search. Then I tried "place a call to..." And it worked for me.
Is there a text to speech function in the Note 10+. Looked but can"t seem to find it. Have it on my V40.
Settings>Accessibility>Screen Reader, turn on voice assistant and in the settings below you can make your changes and will see text to speech for adjustment of settings for that.

Tried it but can't seem to get to work for messages only. I usually carry the phone in my BOB and need to hear the text vocalized.
