You guys tried S Voice yet?

I'm downloading the apk now, as well as the leaked ROM. Anyone of you tried it yet? How'd it go?

Here's where from btw

I've tried several versions but none have good compatibility... Although I did get the weather one time.

I tried it and was very dissapointed that it didnt work.
It ran fine and everything, but it kept giving me connection errors when going online to recognize what I said.

It does weather nicely. After that, it kept telling me my appointment for "today": one for June 14th (Flag Day) and one for June 17th (father's day).

About as useful as Siri

[I'm sure it's because I don't "get it", lol]

(Oh, I did Phil's Wood Chuck test. It answered correctly....)

I tried it for a while, it didn't work very well, I think iris and vlingo are better at voice recognition..

It's nothing special. S-Voice can't even recognize its wakeup command when it's running in the background! That's something I really appreciate with Jarvis and EVA: I can stick my phone in its dock, have Tasker auto-launch one of those apps in the background, and display the clock.

Tried it. It would wake up when I gave the command. But ANY attempts to make use of it would trigger an error -- cannot connect to the network or something.

I suspect its not available for use in Canada -- just like Google Wallet, Google Music, Google Voice, and some other neat (but rather useless right now) apps.

Tried it and compared it to a few others, turns out the Google search is far more efficient but much less flashy. Out of 10 tries each Google search got 8, S-Voice got 6. So for my preference, I will take Google search and function of flash everyday....

Did you delete it from your phone? you should be able to pull it from any rooted build or stock build. Just download the rom and pull the apks you want.

**emmib** · 06-07-2012, 05:57 PM

I've had no luck with it whatsoever. Server problems apparently, it refuses to wake, a d even the simplest commands are misunderstood . *sigh*

Can't wait for Project Majel

I've tried about every Siri type app out there, for me hard to beat Google Search for simplicity and accuracy. From the makers of S Voice, been using Vlingo Labs Beta for the last couple of weeks and really like it. Recently got a JawBone JamBox and they work very well together hands-free. It's currently limited and can't do all of what Vlingo can do, but it can schedule appointments and give your schedule in addition to texting, calling and searching.
