vicw926a4 -- So I played with it for the last day and...as of right now I've uninstalled it. It took over my phone and I couldn't make it stop doing things only during certain times. Like at work or on my way home, fine....at 6am in the morning and after turning on gps and bluetooth after I turned them off, I was a tad annoyed. I may try again later but for right now it is more work & frustration than I have time for this week. However in fairness it does do a *lot* of things that could be cool but it really needs something like "don't operate at all during the hours of 10pm-8am" or something similar. And I will probably try it again later when I have more time as I even bought a voice (indirectly) for it.
I'm also seeing the issue of having to re-associate Cyberon each reboot.

Help! I am not at all technically savvy and I don' t even follow how you did this, but I can't voice dial from my blue tooth any more either now that i am on a new phone with JB and it's a real issue. Is there someway I could get directions on how to do what you have done? I would be so grateful for some help. Thanks a million.
I would suggest that you install and use this app.

Thanks so very much. I will go ahead and try this! Hands free dialing with BT is such a help. It also reduces the risk of dropping my phone when I am juggling a lot things and trying to take care of calls at the same time. Hope this app gets me "operational" again.
Now that Google search has been updated apparently the stock voice dialer is working once again over bluetooth.
Pros
It has verification.
Its pretty accurate for most but not all names
Cons
Verify doesn't give you the option to retry if it gets it wrong. You have to start over.
If you get it wrong it tells you. If you get it right it just starts dialing without acknowledging your "ok" confirmation to dial. So if you say "ok" you don't know whether it interpreted that as "ok" or "cancel" until possibility it dials the number that you wanted to cancel.
Its pretty accurate for most but not all names.
I don't know why it gets most names right but some simple names wrong. My current theory is that it can't handle more than 3 or 4 people with the same last name. Also it doesn't seem to recognize business names in your contacts.
I'm interested to hear others comments on this.

Re: Jelly Bean Bluetooth Voice Dialing
Jellybean voice dialing works almost perfect for me. The only complaint I have is like the previous poster. If it doesn't understand, it says, "I didn't get that" and hangs up. It should really give another opportunity to say a name - something like "would you like to try again or cancel." Not sure why this wasn't incorporated. It seems to be nothing more than common sense. Even my old droid incredible had this feature.

I'm very surprised that it is working so well. Wonder why it is barely acceptable for me. Would you mind adding a contact with first name "Barbara" and tell me if it is then recognized? Maybe there is something else going on with mine.
Does anyone know how to get voice dialing over bluetooth in HTC One X. I have JB but when i press the voice dial icon on my car unit, it says no voice device found. 3rd party voice applications work on the phone but not with bluetooth.Any help will greatly be appreciated. Thanks!
I have the razr maxx - been two weeks with JB and two weeks of misery. Google recognizes nothing and calls folks I have not spoken to in a year. Aside from the rudeness of the lady screaming, 'Speak Now" - its really not a pleasant interface. It is currently unusable in the car by simply pressing the call button on my BT Sliver...the sliver actually worked fairly well...now to use it, I have to first connect via the phone itself. I did a full reset, no help. Instead of wasting more of my time, the IPhone is looking better and better. thanks, Google, for prodding me along. Unless there is a fix the common man can understand??? I have read the posts but not quite sure what my best course of action is. I am really not acerbic - just wanted to relay a sense of frustration!
I had spent my entire weekend trying to get the voice dialing to work on my HOX through my JVC car unit bluetooth voice dialing.Tried all applications.Most of them needed data connection.Had updated the google voice on the phone.Some of the 3rd party applications wanted google voice t be disabled so did that as well. Gave up after nothing worked. The car unit kept saying "no voice device".
Finally, yesterday when i got into the car, decided to try, enable Google voice from Apps, paired the device and pressed the voice dial button on my car unit..Viola! it worked.The google mic came on the screen, prompted to say "call and the number", i randomly said a contact name and it found it in the phone and that too without any data connection.I am still surprised but the 3-4 contacts that i tested with, it seem to identify the contacts, ask for confirmation before dialing and was using my car's microphone to listen. I still dont know how all this happened but finally got HOX to voice dial over bluetooth!!

I agree with you ncguy. I tried a few names and it seems to identify them pretty well. I noticed that if you have 2 numbers with the same name, like a work and phone, it needs you to select it on thephone which is not so nice while driving. It seems to get the names right pretty well and i say that as Indian names are not really easy to pronounce..atleast for Google voice.
Yes. Its getting much better but not quite there yet for my daily use. I've gone back to cyberon until at least the next update. I'll keep giving it a chance.
I've found that the best way to insure accurate detection of names is to take advantage that Voice Control includes Nicknames in its search, which Cyberon doesn't. For frequently called names, I use nicknames such as "my daughter Mary", "my wife", etc. Works like a champ.
I also dearly value the Battery Level command, in Voice Control which tells me the current phone battery percentage, and if it is on the charger

Actually cyberon does have the tag names feature. I never had any reason to test it until I read your message and I am currently having some issues getting it to work as documented. I have a message into them for some help on it.
Confirmed. Voice tags exists in cyberon and work just fine.
Edit: I don't think google nicknames are possible unless your contacts are stored in gmail. I understand that's probably the most common case. I use touchdown for exchange and I don't think nicknames are supported.

I'm using gmail contacts synced with Outlook via Companionlink. The Nickname field is supported in each, and I'm having no issues sustaining them.
Sounds like the Voice Tags in Cyberon must have been added since I quit using it, but I'm glad to know that option is available for its users. I have no reason to go back to it, as I'm very happy with Voice Control and its more ample feature set.
