I have a Motorola Roadster and when I tap the voice dial button it says it is not supported by my phone. Is there an app I should add or is this feature really somehow not supported? I tried adding MotoSpeak but that doesn't seem to help. I also called Motorola and they just gave a blanket statement saying the phone has to support voice dial. Does this phone support that? Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks. I tried that but no dice. I failed to mention that I'm running cognition 1.51. Is it possible that is the issue or is this really a phone thing (which seems unlikely to me).

that would be awesome.
British english is pretty great *shrugs*
What is strange is that if you don't have one installed, the voice is perfect, but it's limited, and miles are km, etc. I was surprised it worked without installing voice synthesis, but it did.

Loquendo TTS Susan, Is about as good as you can get right now. It's availble on the market, but it does cost.
i think she's foxy
There was an eSpeak voice that was pretty amazing, but even set to American English it would use metric units.
Somehow I've buggered it up though, and can't seem to get it back. Now for eSpeak all I have is this horrid robot voice.

I automatically tune out the voices of women when they speak, especially when giving directions, so its difficult having only a woman to choose from with android.

I really like svox. The main app is free and the voices are a couple bucks each. You can get US/UK/(maybe) Australian English, male and female. It's on the market. Works well for navigation and other stuff, like reading your email aloud in LauncherPro.
How did u guys get the voice to talk in nav. Mine won't talk just shows directions
I know Google voice has been giving people issues on the gs3 and I'm wondering if anyone has successfully gotten it to work? I use it just specifically as my voicemail provider. Any help would be appreciated.

Set up GV online first, following all the prompts to forward voicemail to GV. Then open the GV app on your phone and login. Works just fine for me!

when configuring the app, skip the voicemail set up
so does this work? I really want to change to google voice because I really hate the visual voicemail I'm currently using.
it works just fine for me.
when i install it i always let it try to do the voice mail change but it usually error's out, then i go to the website and do the voice mail forward from there and the keypad on my phone.
Wow that was too easy. Thanks for the tip!
Ever since I've been trying to use Google Voice I've been getting an error when configuring through the app. To get around this error, simply set it up online. Now it works!
Cheers

No. It doesn't replace it. You get Google Now still. And the voice for S Voice changes. More humanly. But still not as real sounding as Google Now. I re mapped my home button to launch Google Now because S Voice has always been incredibly slow and not that great IMO

All you have to do is hold the menu soft key to launch Google Now.

Yeah. But I wanted the feel of S Voice (one of the only good things about it), with the brain of Google Now, you know?
I wonder why Samsung is still trying to push S Voice so hard when Google's own software is vastly better the S Voice. I kinda would have preferred if it was taken out completely.

Not hard, considering Siri is a dumb broad..
I can't think of a single possible reason one would choose S Voice over Google Now. It's just terrible. Sure, being able to control the phone with your voice is a neat feature. But it's useless. I can launch any app on my phone faster than you can get S Voice to do it. Cool + impractical = useless.
I suggest keeping both S Voice and Google Now. On Jelly Bean, you'll be getting Google Now which is an addition for voice prompts. S Voice is mostly used to control the phone and launching commands whereas Google Now is great for searching.
S Voice = Commands, Launches (EX. Text John Smith Where are you?)
Google Now = Searches (EX. What is tomorrow's weather in Los Angeles?)
Both have their PROS and CONS.
I've had Google voice since I've had a droid 1so i know it worked before. I've had my gnex for more than a year and had no problems (different ROMs too). It just stopped working all of a sudden. I signed out, I uninstalled it. It says my carrier doesn't support it. I've always had Verizon.
I've gone to the help thing it gives me. That didn't do anything. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, any suggestions?

Update: so i called my Google voice number with another phone and it works. But if I call my cell number it goes to my Verizon Voicemail. Idk why or how.

You might try going to the Google voice site. Login and go to your phone listing in the settings. I am next to your mobile should be a link for deactivating voice mail. I'd click that, ignore what it says next and click okay, then click activate again and punch in the code it gives you to setup forwarding again. It sounds like that might have gotten lost some how.
If it doesn't say deactivate then just do the activate process again. I haven't always had the best luck with the app setting the settings correctly so this might help.
Good luck!

I'm not sure if this is a known issue or not? I have searched and haven't come up with much. I can't get the voice dialer to work with Bluetooth on my I317M. On my previous phones, when I would activate the bluetooth headset the dialer would launch and a voice would say "Speak now".
Now, the voice dialer launches, but doesn't say anything. It will then repeatedly flash "Try Again".
Does anyone know of a fix or have any ideas? I've attached a log.
Cheers!

Yup, none of the ROMS on 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 work.
Is it not interesting that the S4 will come with 4.2.1?

Thanks for the response.
Is that just with the Note2? I know it was working with 4.2.2 on my GNex.
I also did find this - https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-56 which appears to be the same issue but for the S3. It just got a fix recently.
I was hoping something similar would fix the issue for the Note2.
What app are you using for voice dial? Is it an app that came with the bluetooth Headset?

Nope. It's just the stock Google Voice Dialer that I've always used.
What kind of bt headset do you have? A lot of them have their own apps with voice dialers that are more accurate (imo) than the stock one. Just a thought

I have 2. A Jabra Drive speaker, and a Motorola H375 headset. They don't have their own apps as far as I've seen.
Is there a way to activate Google Now through Bluetooth?
I know with my bt headset (moto sliver) I can assign an app to option when I press the action button, and I have it set to open Google now.
