Hey All:
There's some threads about contact recognition, but my issue isn't with Google misspelling a contact.
My one month old daughter's name is Raegan, as distinct from the former president's spelling of the name. Any idea how to make Google interpret texts to my wife, e.g. "How's Raegan doing?" to refer to my daughter and not to Mr. Reagan?
Even if it meant manually correcting the spelling on the watch a few times, I don't mind, but I can't figure out how to correct it on my watch.
Thanks!

Workarounds One day we'll get to a point where we don't need 'em.
Anyone else have a suggestion?

I know it's not what you're looking for, but I have been able to successfully (most of the time) spell out words Android won't recognize. You could try it, Ok Google - Send text to [contact] - "how's R-A-E-G-A-N doing, question mark."
In fact I just tried it and it worked. Unfortunately since you're spelling it out for Wear, it won't automatically capitalize the name, and I had no success in dictating "capitol R."

I`ve added voice to text to my desire and also the language translate app as i`m learning spanish.
One of the first things I tried was to say "can I have a beer please". The voice to text thinks i`m saying "can I have big titties please". LOL
It results in this every time apart from one time when it replaced titties with penis!!
Apart from being funny to show people do you think someone is having an internal joke with this. can someone else try and see what they get?

lol on mine it came up "do i have a beer freeze"
I gave 2 tries (in my Pak/Indian accent), this is what came up...
1- Can I have your keys...
(2nd one made me laugh)
2- Can I have your KNEES.....LOL
I'm using the voice recognition that started working after I installed Better Keyboard and it gets my words right every time. It's amazing!!
this is great! apparently I want herpes and on the second try I apparently asked for deer penis!

hmm Penis seems to be a running theme... maybe the Google server likes them lol.
my neice said, HELLO MY NAME IS MARY... and got Penis... nothing else just that.. lucky shes 15 so not the worse she heard lol...
Can i have a beer please -> genital herpes
LOL
This is the worse (or better, depends on who you ask) case of "Blind idiot" I guess.
Thanks for the laugh!
And I so gonna test this when I get my claws upon my own desire
When I go into my main texting screen, and choose a name from all my saved texts at the time, it will sometimes randomly open up a different person than the one I clicked on. I have sometimes sent the wrong text to the wrong person because of this. It does it maybe 1 in 20 times. Does anyone else have this issue. Phone specs in my sig, and also did it without custom kernel and on fresh 3.4.0.1
Sounds like you are experiencing the infamous "Android SMS Bug".

Seriously, not to sound like a troll but why does NO ONE SEARCH before posting anymore?
I'm about to unsubscribe from the RSS feeds because I get about 17 new "How do I Root?" threads every day in addition to a few "DAE have this problem that everyone has?" threads.

It's never a smart thing to subscribe to RSS feeds especially when it comes to support forums. I used to do it but got so many emails daily. Give the guy some slack though. He probably didn't know it was a bug and therefore didn't search because of it.
Yeah sorry guys. I thought it might be a rare case. Off to yahoo for me..
And it's not that it sends it to the wrong person... it just loads up the wrong conversation when touching a name and I have to double check. When hitting send, it still sends to that person thats currently on the conversation screen. Only does it with people who I've already listed in the main text screen showing all the people

Are you using an AOSP rom by the way? I noticed that it happened to me a lot when I was using CM's ROM.

I disagree:
RSS feeds are always preferred over revisiting the page. You reduce load on the server by not streaming all the content back and forth until there is a discussion you want to dive into. I'm not sure what you use for RSS if it's sending you emails but switch over to Google Reader.
I understand he didn't know it was a bug... my point was why not search for it first. The very first thing I do when I encounter something like this is "google it". That either takes me to pages where others are discussing the same issue... or proves that no one else knew about it.
A forum isn't meant to be a never ending jetstream of new threads. Look at the developer forums, they have a single thread per ROM/App/etc. and update it with discoveries and new software versions. The thread becomes the SOLE SOURCE for information on that topic... making it easy to find what you are looking for.

Nope, Fresh 3.5.0.1. Did it with fresh 3.4 also and stock kernel. But I just looked it up on yahoo and seen lots of pages talking about it.
Here is the official Android Defect. Google has already fixed the issue and will publish it in a future release (see comment 1460):

Exactly what mine does once in a while. Unlike the "google sms bug" where the sms sends to the wrong person, mine sends to the right person, but just selects the wrong person's thread once in a while. I have almost sent some "naughty" texts to my mom and boss before I looked who I was sending them too lol.

Never a good idea to have your bosses number saved in your address book if you're going to possibly.....
I'd memorize it. Anyway it happens to me so often that I always clear my inbox after each message that I send someone.

I guess the big question is "Is there a real fix for this"? If not, then we know we can't use that feature with this phones reliably. I see this happening a lot but I don't hear of anyone working on it? Since this is open source code, I think this could be fixed. For now my question is a possible work around that we know work 100% all the time?
What are you guys doing to ensure the message to your girlfriend/wife doesn't go to your kids?
Hi,
I think there is a very useful app needed in all smartphone...and specially in the fantastic galaxy s2: the offline voicecommands.
People, like me, that have not the possibility to get always connected to the net, need the offline voicecommands like the mororola smartphones. We just need a porting of that app as the vivaldi 4season team did, but working for all the roms and in particular that app have to work...
Who is the dev that can do this for the "disconnected" community? He will help the people that need to call someone whilst is driving a car... No accidents trying to do a call whilst driving car, no money spent in a special contract to be always connected.
We need a hero!

Dont we have that already with the Built in Samsung Voice actions powered by Vlingo which also has a drive/car mode
Vlimgo requires Internet and to be honest is not greatest when dialing contacts especially if they are not typical English names.
Just do what I do as soon as I install rom, delete vlingo and put original android voicedialer.apk in system (note: not voice search) app from nexus s gingerbread or cyanogen rom. Works offline and much better for contacts recognition. Responds fine to bluetooth dial as well.

Could you post that apk please?
Here you go!
Remember put this in system/app folder with root explorer (do not install as regular apk) and remember to delete vlingo voice to go apk from there cause it will clash on bluetooth dial.
Istituto tris app multilanguage?
Is this only for dialing or sms too?
Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk
It's name is voice dialer! Ask me again if this is for dictating sms!
Or are you asking if you can start text message with this?
There's voice actions for that or vlingo or whatever but they all need to be connected to the net.
With this you can basically start any app installed on the phone with command open * (open MESSAGING or open OPERA MOBILE) or dial contacts on the PHONE or command redial.
You can not say 'send text to "contact name"'. If you want deeper than that then use online ones I mentioned.
Iono if it's multilanguage? I why don't you try it then tell us? What I do know is that I have plenty non English contacts and it dials them correctly even though it repeats them weird with English phonetics. It is able to learn as well so if it's confused between 2 contacts, manually selecting correct one, will not prompt again with same pronunciation. I have had few names that I had to gradually train like that going from English phonetics to native tongue pronunciation and now it's perfect.
I save data with titanium so don't have to train it again between flashing.

But I'll throw you another bone. None of the solutions to date offer offline dictation on any smartphone platform and you ponder...

Just curious is it possible to port the new voice search like siri , to our ics bulids in the meantime we wait for jelly bean ??????
S E A R C H will help a whole lot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668824
im not talking about s-voice my friend , i'm talking about the new google voice search thats in jelly bean.
I honestly could care less about voice search. The less that people read and type, the dumber they get. It's bad enough that people speak in smiley faces and lol's. Google already auto corrects our spelling.
Samsung or Google voice search?
Not sure he's referring to the Samsung voice search or Google's Jelly Bean improved search.
Jb google search is completely different here is what I believe you want video not the app
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kDsOtdRtG0Q
Right this is a good question, Can it be done for those of us who would enjoy that feature?

Smiley faces and lols are a good way to help people understand the intent when communicating in a text only environment. Too often people misconstrue what is being said because it sounds too blunt or rude. General language, spelling and grammar are definitely suffering beneath the onslaught of texting slang but don't throw the smiley faces under the bus, they aren't to blame.
But keeping to the topic at hand, voice search, voice texting and voice activate features are very helpful in a number of environments. And most of the voice search engines require that people speak properly as they don't usually respond to slang.
I was referring to text slang. Now that I think about it. If it's better than siri, I'll get it just to crush the feelings of my I phone slaved friends.
i meant google jelly bean new voice search, ported to ics roms if it can be done.

I agree with you, you can't convey emotion, with text very well. The silly lol's and smiley's are one way to do that. Even with those things many people still take things the wrong way.
