Hey,

Let's say I'm using a head set and I want to make a call via the voice dialer in Android 2.2.

Is there a way to have the voice dialer confirm to me I want to contact so and so? And then give me a chance to respond back with yes or no.

For example I want to make sure that I'm calling john not Mary with out looking at the phone.

No. The default voice dialer does not have that ability... a bit annoying when it chooses the wrong contact and dials it.

You would have to use a different dialer to do that. Something like Choice Dialer+, something that I've a had mixed results using. It can be configured to ask for a confirmation before dialing.

There may be others, but I've not tried them yet.
 
"Search" by Google allows this, however the "yes / no" is no verbal it just shows up on the screen.

You would simply say, "Call John" , and on the screen it will say call "Dial John?" and you would select yes or no.

Are you referring to voice search by Google? If so how do you enable this feature? This feature you described would work just fine as a alternative to the voice option.

Thank you all for your help.

Hmmm.. I don't see it via search in the market even though I have it as a downloaded app. The dev website is:

Choice Dialer

Sent the author a note asking why its not showing up on the market.

I was reading the faq and it does appear to have the voice confirmation feature I'm wanting. If only I could get it through the market place....
 
With regards to Choice Dialer, I got a reply from the author, he has temporarily removed the product due to a major bug that is effecting some phones and hopes to have it back online later today
 
Choice Dialer - All four versions of the choice dialer are back in the market.
1.1 and 2.2 versions both free and pro

If you are using Froyo, you need to use the 2.2 version.

You can find all of them using the publishers name "Resounding LLC"

BTW I am not affiliated with the publisher or the app.
