Can any android voice app be accessed like Siri?

[Chris McK]

I know there are plenty of voice apps for android but I can't find any way to make it work the same way.

For instance, with Siri, if I was driving and received a text message I could click a button on the headphones, Siri would activate and I could say 'read message'. It was great because I could read/send messsages all without touching the phone. Is there anyway to get android to work like this?

thanks for any help

Sure, get a Moto X. No headset activation needed, it just prompts me and asks if I want it to read the message. It reads the message (if I ask it to) then prompts me to either reply to the message or cancel.

This capability is handled by the Moto Assist app (on the first-gen X, I think it's all rolled into the Moto app on the second-gen), these apps are only available for the Motorola devices that support them.

Try looking at Dragon Mobile Assistant. I don't use anything like this, but the description sounds full featured.

Dragon still leaves a LOT to be desired. I don't expect Naturally Speaking in a phone, but asking if I have new emails shouldn't open a new email for me to send, or tell me it can't check my messages. The Galaxy assistant works better (but not that great either).

Old thread but does Moto's app also let you read back a text you dictated in order to make changes before shipping?
