How you all finding this?
It can dictate a text no problem, but doesn't seem to pick up the TO: field for me.
So if I say "send text to bob how are you" it will fill in "2 bob how are you" in the message field and leave the TO field empty. how are you getting on? It's still pretty cool. And you can say things like "call 08665242424" and it gets that perfect. Although when I say "call Joe" it just won't find the appropriate entry on my SIM card.
hey,
So far with the actions, i had a little bit of troubling getting it to call my contacts e.g. "call Paul C" an it suggests everyone else in my list with the surname C except "Paul C" also the text thing doesnt seem to work at all, but i have found it's very good at web searching and also when you have already entered the texting menu, i think once it gets the support for different countries it will be really good and fun to use.
At the minute its more of a novelty, but it could become very very useful.
We had a lot of fun earlier as what I said and what the phone thought I said was so different!
e.g.
Send a text to Teresa to say hello
=
Send a text recycle au
I did manage to get the thing to give me directions to Skegness (although I was trying to call somebody at the time).
Maybe I need to lay on an american accent and try again
But... But... But... It worked so well in the little video!
Very hit and miss for me. If it works, it works spot on 100% and great. If it fails, it fails epically.
Same here. If it works, it works, if not, well I just hope I'm not showing it off to a friend as it can make an ass of itself.
The text action? Doesn't work for me at all. Neither does setting an alarm. Getting directions is perhaps the most reliable voice action of all. Calling people is hit and miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just doesn't complete the action. I'll say, "Call Claire XYZ Mobile", and it displays a list of 'did you mean?' options. The top one is usually right, but when I click it it Googles it as a search term!
The Alarm is still in development
the fact it requires a data connection means its learning as it goes. Recording 10000s of new words per day and linking them based by region. In time it should be able to learn words with accents etc so well that its hard to fool.
at the moment it is certainly more novelty than technological wow. but.. I think it will get there. I wish you could "teach it" by sampling your address book. I mean you click on a contacts name and then say it 5 times and the google learns how this name is pronounced in your region. then it recognizes it next time. I think they'll get there. this is a good start.
If it learns as it goes, then all those who set theory phone to US English may not be helping out develop the software for their own language if each voice request is sent out with a language tag from the phone.

How do I know what version of "voice search" I have?
I used the QR code from the google blog and and doesn't recognize some of them.
For example, it will recognize "note to self I am cool" but it will ask to do a search instead of noting to self.
It picks up very few words I say correctly. Usually "call" it always gets correct. Brilliant concept but not very practical for the masses yet.

I've found this terrible so far, 0% success rate! Even speaking in most clearest English with no background noise.
Maybe you have more success with an American accent??
But the odd thing is that the previous "search by voice" and technologies such as Translate both recognise voice really really well.
As with most of you, no success at all.. another interesting thing is set it to US English and hold it up to your speakers and play the guy from the Youtube video talking and it fails to get correct anything he says as well so I would like to know how they got 100% success rate in the video.
I have had limited success with it set to US english, one big problem is the "listen to" command, it insists that I need to install a music player, I have spotify installed (which is on the approved list) but voice action does not appear to recognise that it is there.

It is looking for the nearest psychiatrist, as it has deduced you are in urgent need thereof
Like the previous voice to text, it mainly accepts US english inflection, for the moment being.
However in my fake mafioso-US-english accent I could manage to type some emails, but I couldn't, for the hell of it, make it recognize the 'to' field most of the times. I think you really have to speak it all together "send email (no pause) to xyz (pause) how are you ?"
Too many "SERVER PROBLEM" .... not good.
OK, I've figured it out. It works and works just as accurate as in the Google vid. You just have to speak at your normal pace and the phone no more than around 6 inches away.
I can use US and UK accents to get it working. I've moved around enough to know them well.

OK guys, before I rant at Google, does anyone else's phone do this?
I tap the little mic icon on the keyboard and speak. It gets the first three or four words, but every word after that is just a name from my contacts.
If I switch it to US English it works fine but I have to talk with an American accent to get it to recognise my speech.
I've reported it Here. Please star it if you want Google to resolve the issue.

Try more than a few words as it only seems to glitch badly after the first sentence. Try talking to it like Duarte does and mine just chucks out a list of assorted forenames and surnames.
Annoying as I could talk to the old version like I was having a conversation.
I've reported it Here. Please start it if you want Google to resolve the issue.
Yeah absolutely, after more than a few words it seems to massively prioritise contact entries.
For example, "It's so cool" became "Richard Poole", which although a similar sound at the end (and a compliment for Mr. Poole) didn't seme remotely connected. And every word after were combinations of contact names. I find I have to keep doing short sentences/sentence fragments at a time, which appears to ruin the point of speech-to-text.
Luckily I'm not a big fan of talking at my phone. Hence Siri not being a selling point on the 4S for me.
It's a bit hit or miss but I'm not getting any contact names appearing.

I'm finding my galaxy nexus much worse at recognising my voice than my HD2 running gingerbread was. I'd say with that I got about a 95% accuracy rate vs the Galaxy Nexus getting maybe 50% if that.

I'm having no issues with the voice recognition at all. No contact names coming up, even after several sentences. I think it's more accurate too (for my voice, anyway), though it still gets it wrong sometimes!
Being able to dictate punctuation is very cool.
I had a little try with the speech to text and it was pretty poor. I hadn't put my contacts in yet but I was on wifi. It got most of the words wrong and lagged quite a lot. I'll test it a bit more extensively once I get my replacement phone
My Galaxy S was far better at recognising my accent.
Can someone else test this, I think it is a bug..
click voice button and say 'text [someones name on your contact list]'
When the screen pops up to enter a text message there is no way of inputting any text.
Ive had no problems with lagging it works ok for me when using for google search for the odd couple of words, but trying to dictate a sentence i've never got 100% accuracy.
I'm from saaarf laaandun no one has a clue what I say most of the time
So talk to text has no chance

for me some times its excellent and sometimes its useless and i get loads of contacts names that sound nothing like what i have said like some of you.
If there is any background noise at all i usually find it doesnt know what im saying. Some words for me it just wont pick up no matter how many times i try... the one that comes to mind is 'sure' it always comes up with 'so' lol.
Does the speech to text feature require WiFi or a data conection to work? I don't have the Nexus yet.

I'm also finding it works perfectly so far, even a long text message came out without any issues
i just tested this with 3 or 4 rather long sentences. I have a pretty weird accent (mix of Southern, central and northern regional English) and it never once matched anything i said to a contact.
it messed a few words up (understandably), but i'm not experiencing this particular bug.
I have tried a few different ROM's and all result in the same issue: If I try to ask the phone to set an alarm or reminder, it give me an error message saying "Sorry, Alarms and reminders only support times of day, but not dates."
If i ask to set alarm for a time during the day, works fine; if i ask to set alarm for a time the following day, i get that message.
My friends phone (same setup) has no issue.
Has any one else come across this problem? Were you able to fix it?
no one?
It's not a feature right now.
The work around is to enable the mobile option in your calendar from the desktop version of the site, set a contact up with the Google Calendar number (48368), then use Google Now to send a text to the Calendar contact thus creating an event...

What's odd is that even on the YouTube videos comparing Google voice actions to Siri, setting an alarm and reminder for the next day are functional.
IE. "Set alarm for 9am tomorrow morning." "Remind me to take out the trash tomorrow at 6pm." These don't work on my phone, but do in the video.
However, "Remind me to go to the meeting at 4pm." will work. It's the different day thing that throws it off.
I tried taking a ROM and replacing the VoiceSearchStub.apk with the one from his phone and flashing that, but that didn't work either. It also wouldn't let me import the .apk and install it in the system folder. Failed every time. I also tried changing languages to English (UK) then back to English (US) in voice settings; didn't work.
My friends phone is able to do this, I'm baffled as to what makes this one different. I will use the workaround until this is all figured out I suppose.
Happening for myself as well, just noticed it since you mentioned in. I've got a rooted factory image here. I am in Canada as well, if that matters.
I get the same response from Google Now in Jellybean.
Ah, sorry, misunderstood - your op discussed dates.
Set alarm for 6 am tomorrow - doesn't work, but
Set alarm for 6 in the morning - does work
Strange...
It looks like the alarm app doesn't have the necessary interface for the day field.

Very strange... I wonder why it works for some and not for others. Maybe it is the ROM? Works for my friend on CM10 and on the Razor's Jelly ROM. Which ones are you using? Does it make a difference for you?
I also just noticed that if you request a specific day, you have to also specify morning or afternoon for it to work. If you leave that out it gives you the message. I believe danger-rat also just posted the same thing, but it works if you leave the word tomorrow or any day of the week in there also.
Nice find danger-rat.

I think its not picking it up correctly even if you specify morning or afternoon. For example if you say "Set alarm to buy groceries on thursday morning at 10am", it will just label the alarm as "Buy groceries on thursday morning" and will just set it to 10am on 'any' day.
I'm also wordering why this doesn't work anymore. I'm sure it was working before when I first received JB via OTA. It seem to stop working when I did a factory reset and reflashed my ROM but it could also be that Google just 'tweaked' the functionality on their servers.

SAME HERE! I remember it working until i updated to a newer version of the ROM I'm using. I hope this isn't apples doing (with the patent war going on).
I don't ever remember it working. I remember the videos but all the ones I saw show is the alarm screen coming up and from what I can tell you can't set a date in there, just repeatability. It was something it seemed the reviewers failed to mention or gloss over.

Could somebody please help me about making a calendar entry? I feel pretty stupid about this whole thing, I can say to Moto 360 "open calendar app but it only seems to open it on my phone". Is it possible to say make an appointment for Wednesday the 25th? Seems like I have no problems with anything else like sending text messages and getting directions but this is driving me crazy. Thanks for any input you can give me.
I haven't been able to figure this out either.

This is definitely a bummer like you said, but now I'm just using "add a reminder" hoping that the next version of android Google L will do the job.
Sadly, Android Wear is more of an extension of Google Now, than an extension of the Android phone...
It'll get better, though
I can't even get it to set a reminder. It tries to save and says "Sorry that didn't work. Try again"

After 3 weeks with my Moto 360 I just started having problems of all sorts, including no longer being able to set a reminder. I do everything the same as I've effortlessly done over the last 3 weeks ... "Ok, Google ... Remind me to <blah blah>" and it just shows a Google search of a webpage I can open on my phone. Reminders have worked dozens upon dozens of times over the last 3 weeks, and now not at all.
I've uninstalled Android Wear on my phone, restarted, Reset device on my watch, waited a long time, followed the on-watch prompts to reinstall Android Wear, re-paired Bluetooth, and so on. A few times now. Same thing - super basic smartwatch functionality of my Moto 360 has spontaneously stopped working over the last couple of days.
If I say "Ok, Google ... Remind me." and pause my watch will display a prompt that says "About what?" and if I say something it just says it can't reach Google at the moment. But it can! All my notifications from my phone are still working, and if I ask a random question ("Ok, Google ... who is the Prime Minister of Canada?") it pops up a response just fine. It's just all the really useful and core smartwatch stuff that has been hosed.
It started with the time being incorrect on my watch, whilst it remains totally correct on my phone. I've had to restart my watch multiple times per day to get the time set correctly, I've Reset device several times now, etc.
Overall, my Moto 360 experience is severely degrading over time. :crying:

What kind of phone? Is it at least android 4.3?
used to work fine
Yes, I have a stock Samsung Galaxy S4 with 4.4.2. And as mentioned, Android Wear and my Moto 360 have been working great for me for the last few weeks then all of a sudden - wrong time. After a bunch of complete wipes / reinstalls AND calls to Motorola support just to be sure and also to loop them in on problems, my AW experience continues to get worse.
However, it appears I'm not unique in this. I just checked the comments on Google Play for the Android Wear app and it looks like a lot of people are having similar issues with the October 6th update - incorrect time, inability to set reminders anymore, etc. Let's hope Google and/or Motorola read and respond and fix the problems ASAP!

Hiya, it seems the reminder functionality uses Google Now, so if you've disabled Google Now on your phone, it'll tell you that it can't make new appointments every time you try...
You can add reminder to Google Now remind section not on Google Calendar.
If you want add entry in your Google Calendar you can use an App named "Calengoo".
With this app you can add calendar entry and also entry in your Google task.
With this app you can also dismiss or snooze Calendar Event when is send to Wear device.
Generally very happy with new G3 (on Optus network in Australia), but two weird things driving me nuts.
1. With several apps open, hit the home button. All good, end up on home screen. Then hit the open apps button and it says 'No recent apps'. Repeat above steps and now it shows all those running apps and you have an enabled option to Clear All or can individually swipe them off.
Any one else seeing this. Never saw this with Nexus 5 I just lost and replaced with G3.
2. The keyboard entry on the Nexus 5 (if I recall correctly) worked pretty much the same for emails as it did for say SMS messages or Hangouts messages. i.e. if you had a bad typo you could position back into the word and all suggested corrections appeared to allow you to replace the typo. This is how SMS/Hangouts works but seems other text entry functions don't do this correction process the same way. Is it up to each app developer to control how this works or do they all use the common keyboard text entry 'widget' or control??
3. Hangouts. Seems that all of a sudden (probably an app update?) Hangouts (which I have selected as my default messaging app) tries to send a Hangouts message instead of a regular SMS. This is fine if the received has Hangouts activated on their device/account, but many of my contacts don't and I've suddenly realised they what I thought were SMS messages sent correctly have just gone into the ether. So step by step, if I go to Hangouts, search for a contact, select contact and start typing, I can see that it is telling me it's sending a Hangouts message, not an SMS. If instead I explicitly scroll in Hangouts through my contacts, and select one, it pops up their contact details and I get the option to select a message icon. When I now get back to start typing the message, it now shows the mobile number it will SMS (not Hangout message) to. This works fine, but is different behaviour to a week ago.
For all of the above, apologies if I simply don't understand the apps or OS fully yet. Learning ...
You can either clear all of swipe each to kill the app.
The stock keyboard sucks in my opinion. I use the Google keyboard without any issues.

Thanks - but my issues is that it says no active apps, and the Clear All button is greyed out. Repeat the process and now the apps which I know are open, are all there. The question is why first display of apps thinks there is nothing there.

Install a 3rd party keyboard, then set your new keyboard to be the default keyboard. Now restart your device and Disable the stock keyboard with something like titanium backup, reboot once more to be sure it is gone and notice how much smoother everything is... Most lag disappears... Just goes to show how crap the stock keyboard really is...

The keyboard entry on the Nexus 5 (if I recall correctly) worked pretty much the same for emails as it did for say SMS messages or Hangouts messages. i.e. if you had a bad typo you could position back into the word and all suggested corrections appeared to allow you to replace the typo. This is how SMS/Hangouts works but seems other text entry functions don't do this correction process the same way. Is it up to each app developer to control how this works or do they all use the common keyboard text entry 'widget' or control??
3. Hangouts. Seems that all of a sudden (probably an app update?) Hangouts (which I have selected as my default messaging app) tries to send a Hangouts message instead of a regular SMS. This is fine if the received has Hangouts activated on their device/account, but many of my contacts don't and I've suddenly realised they what I thought were SMS messages sent correctly have just gone into the ether. So step by step, if I go to Hangouts, search for a contact, select contact and start typing, I can see that it is telling me it's sending a Hangouts message, not an SMS. If instead I explicitly scroll in Hangouts through my contacts, and select one, it pops up their contact details and I get the option to select a message icon. When I now get back to start typing the message, it now shows the mobile number it will SMS (not Hangout message) to. This works fine, but is different behaviour to a week ago.
For all of the above, apologies if I simply don't understand the apps or OS fully yet. Learning ...
