It depends really on what you need from a voice assistant, as Google Now is more of a search/information tool than a full fledged assistant. If all you need is asking about the weather, how to get to locations, good restaurants, random trivia, etc. Google Now is probably the best. If what you need is searching up contacts, sending SMS messages, changing settings on your phone, S Voice is a good option, although there are others.
Did you really ask(sighs) Google now sir

For searching it is good, but I'm looking for an app that can send/read texts, open facebook, things like that. Vlingo seems to work well, though the first time I downloaded the app, it kept freezing when I tried to go into car mode
Try "Assistant" It's in the Play store, free and an customizable Avatar that adds to it.

i meant mine old market, automatically updated to this earlier today
I didn't realize that, I figured they were rolling this out slowly. At the time I posted this I was using the new FC05 leak and my market hadn't updated.

But this is for people who...
don't know how to open Market or something I think. Seriously, that's all that's required. Though, I can see the use in having an apk around (UI modification and whatnot)
Edit: Ninja'd
Here is another link for it as well. Was actually uploading this as I hit refresh and say this post was already made lol.

I tried clearing the market data, but that didn't do anything... How do you clear the Google services framework? (please excuse me if this is a dumb question)

At first it didn't work for me either, I cleared the data twice and then went through Google music and hit the button to go to the market and it let me update

The name? Eh. Stupid.
The new icon? I like it.
But, most importantly, with the new market there is a small buy very nice section of apps for $.49.
Like Dead Space. Or Osmos. SwiftKeyX.
Hit it up.

Have to say I'm not real crazy about the icon either but I'm sorta partial to andru the android lol

Anyone using one of the Siri like apps in the market? I'm currently looking at Skyvi, Vlingo Virtual Assistant, Jeannie (friend of Siri) and Andy - Siri for Android (Free or Full) and was wondering what your experiences have been like.
I used the Samsung s voice app. It worked great until everyone installed it and slammed the servers. Now all I get is network errors.

Thanks!
"Note: You need to have "Voice Search" and "TTS library" installed in your phone for iris. to work. Most of the phones have these pre-installed, if not please install them from Android market before you try iris."
I know we have Voice Search preinstalled but do we have TTS library as well? Not sure how to confirm that.
I used Iris (siri spelled backwards) for a while. Switched to S-voice ripped out of the SGS3 today.

Just thought you guys should know, in case you didn't see - Someone found a workaround for S Voice:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664785
Also, S Voice is apparently based on Vlingo.. Anyone try out the new "Vlingo Labs"? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vlingo.phoenix
Yeah, the workaround is iffy for some, especially getting a proper location.
I did some more research
So people are saying the S Voice app is iffy (on GNex) - bad voice recognition and many force closes.
Vlingo Labs is very limited in features right now. Looks like I'm waiting out on Siri functionality. I'll stick to the ICS built-in voice actions for now
I've tried a few different ones and I dug AIVC the most of the lot

Another vote here for speaktoit assistant. The best I've tried by far.
dragon go
Well, I am trying "Evi" now. It's only version 1.1.0, but so far not bad.
I've been using AIVC for a while now....and have tried most of the other ones, but like it the most!
The only complaint I have is that if I ask it to send a text, it doesn't pick up the contact name...but I can't really blame it since it only does it contacts who's names aren't normal english ones haha

Hi guys, so I found out you can say "note to self.." followed by what you want to note on Google voice search in JELLYBEAN. Apparently, it sends it via email to your gmail, but when saving, the app force closes. Its on that specific function. Everything else works. any ideas? Thank you

don't make a comment on here if you have nothing productive to say. at all. don't really need this kind of ***t around here. just sayin.
to the OP... not sure what the issue is, mine is working just fine. i know that there was an update to the google search app a little while ago. go into your market and verify it has been updated. if that doesn't work, try fixing permissions through recovery. let us know

Google Navigation....clear data for Google MAPS in Applications Manager.
If that fails...uninstall Maps, then reinstall it from Google Play.

Sigh...OK. Seems I have to do that fairly often. I never used to have to do that on my old Captivate.
I wonder why things keep getting messed up with NAV.
I searched the web and read the manual, but could not find an answer.
All I am looking for is the way to automatically switch ringtone to "vibrate only" when I am in the office, and back to my regular ringtone elsewhere, based either on GPS location data, or the tower I am connected to. Is there an app for that?
Thanks!
I believe "Tasker" in the Play Store I'd what you are looking for.

Let me know how tasker works on your device because it seems like a GREAT app but the reviews aren't too impressing.

Its a good app but its confusing to a lot of people so they leave bad reviews. The ui isnt as user friendly as the ios equivalent Activator
