Does the "send text to" or "listen to" functionality work? I can't get these to work. However the maps/ directions / call functionality does work for me.
Rooted official Froyo

I managed to get it downloaded and working via Appbrain

Woo hoo. Also got it but text and email options not working? Anyone got this working?

"Send text to" works fine. "Listen to" or "set alarm" don't though. The HTC apps need to be updated to support it

Yes. I can press the button and say "Call Buster" and it does a quick countdown followed by dialling that number. Haven't tried with bluetooth but I assume it would.

I guess the problem is that you still have to press a button, but it is a move forward

Nice one!!!! Works much better. Which music apps support it?
Found answer: Pandora, Last.fm, mspot, spotify and Rdio according to the website

Have you worked out how to pick which music app you want? I have the standard music app, Spotify and Last.fm and it keeps defaulting to Last.fm.

Once the language is set in settings to English US it becomes infinitely more useful. Probably getting about 90% accuracy with complete random results. Test emails, texts, calling the chicken shop across the road from where I live, the closest McDonald's to where I live, and even my work place. All flawlessly! Very impressed.

I don't have English US in Settings>Language - just UK and Ireland
Edit - however I do in Settings> Voice Input and Output - is that what you mean?
Edit 2 - yes, that changes it.

Oooh. Changing to English US made all the difference. I was on English UK and it wouldn't recognise "text" and "email" commands. Now it's great! Remember to block offensive words unless you specifically need to swear because even the most innocent of texts ended up with an f-word or two. Not exactly what I was expecting but anyhow

Google Now Doesn't Speak

Please forgive me, I have searched but 'Google Now' isn't a great search term...
Basically, I get no voice feedback when using voice search or the Google Now app on my 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update. Initially I was underwhelmed by Google Now and wondered what the fuss was, until I discovered it should be talking back to me in a Siri-like fashion.
I had the leaked 4.1 I/O release previously and same issue. Language is English and I have voice prompts turned on in the search settings.
Any ideas? It's a Google stock ROM and it never worked, so I really don't know what it could be.
Edit: Nevermind, same discussion here. Too bad there's no time-limited delete functionality here, feel free to delete.

Try this
There is my solution:
- Set your locale to whatever you want
- Set the Google Now Voice Language to English US
- Voice Output to Always
- Remove the tick(untick the box) on Hide Offensive Words
I spent hours of tinkering with this and tried all kinds of options, but in the end that solved it for me. This is because recently there was an update to Google Search, which is the application designation for Google Now and it introduced this bug.
I have my locale to my native one English UK en-GB and everything works like a charm as it should be and as it used to work before the update.

How about this

Make sure that you have downloaded the offline speech recognition in English US and maybe try asking something like "What's the time?". It will not talk back to all questions. Only the ones that were specifically pre-programmed. If it still doesn't work, try putting your system locale to English US and restarting your phone. And most importantly update your Talkback, Google Search and Google Voice search apps to their latest through the Play Store.
What I did now officially works on my O2 HTC One S and 3UK HTC One X, so it works for sure on those two.
I hope this helps

[Q] Can the remote be used for normal voice input (not just search)?

I'd like to be able to use voice input for normal text boxes in apps that don't support amazon's voice search. Is this even theoretically possible? Does it use android's speech API or is it something more proprietary?

In the normal version, Portuguese [PT] isn't working... bug?

Hey, this is a really great app! But it has a serious flaw:
After some questions, voice recognition and voice reply switches to english although it was supposed to listen and answer in German (set to German in settings).
Also, can you add an "listen on launch" setting?

Just noticed that somehow, the app lost my login and I had to re-login. Now it is back to my default language.

I tried to uninstall the normal version after purchasing and installing the pro version but so the pro no longer works. So is it necessary to have both the normal and the pro version at the same time?
I would like to install only the pro version, is this possible?
Thanks for the reply

I purchased this application for my watch but after a few commands it loses the set Italian language and the commands are set to English.
It does not work.

i don't have de pro version , google home devices , like smart lights, work fine for me.

So far, much better designed and simpler than GAssist. No need for a phone companion app. On the downside, it seems results are a scrollable webpage. Still lets me control my home devices, so I'm making the switch from GAssist to this one.

What command do You use to start smart devices? Same command works for me on the phone but doesn't on watch. On watch it try to run an application.

This is good! Had to turn of BT. Kept saying no internet. They will fix BT according to the response on youtube.
Was a pain in the ass to type the email and login. Managed to switch to handwriting somehow.
I like I can change the volume with bezel.
Controls all my home smart devices.
Asked to set a reminder. Crashed after I said the time. Then said number of tries exhausted. Please restart app. Then you just have to close it in "Recent Apps" and it works again.

Is there a way to switch to the normal on-watch keyboard during login, vice the T9 one? I'm unable to login in because, for some reason, the T9 keyboard keeps messing up my password.

T9 kept messing up my gmail and pw. It was not typing the correct letters.
I switched to handwriting by accident. So there must be a way.

Turn off predictive text so the T9 will work like it should.
I uninstalled the free version and purchased pro. You have have the free version installed with pro. I tried pro without the free version. Only works if both are installed.
When I turned off predictive text, the T9 worked as expected. When entering password, the handwriting input came up again somehow.

Question Call Recording working

So I have a Z Fold 3 in Australia, purchased directly from Samsung. Several months ago I got call recording working in the Samsung dialler app, by changing the CRC of the phone and installing an Indonesian version of Android.
I'd prefer to use the google phone dialler app, but call recording isn't showing as an option. I've read everywhere that it only works if you have the google dialler comes preinstalled on your phone. So I guess my question is, why can we not just have an apk made of this "preinstalled" version of Google dialler so we can use call recording?
Also open to other ideas on how to get call recording to work in Google dialler.
Thanks

Simple answer: Because it's illegal in a lot of countries ...

ACR Phone works

Yes, I'm aware of the legality complexities. Perhaps I complicated things in my inital post. To simplify I have one question:
* If there was someone who has Google Phone (dialer) preinstalled on their device from India or another country where recording is allowed (and enabled) - could they do an export of that app? And then could one just import / install that onto their phone?
I don't know the ins & outs of how the export is done... but is it possible?

ACR does work. You just need to be more open to more possibilities and not just go to Play Store like a NPC.
I already bought ACR but, Google fuxed it up so it didnt work anymore unless on Android 5 to 9.
then I actually found one of the comments on Play Store that Aptoide version works.
I tried it on Android 12 and now on Android 13. It records both sides of conversation.
Just be advised that the instalation package will need to install Aptoide Store first, which, once inside, takes you to install page of ACR.
IMPORTANT:
*TURN OFF Updates inside the ACR app Settings, so that Google doesnt interfere. I also
**TURNED ON the setting that it asks me after the call "Whether to save the recording or not". Thats how l know it works and reminds me to check the functionality
You are welcome.
