let's talk about S-voice

[deadday]

What do you use it for? What tips do you have? Tricks?

 

[samanthanielquel]

You mean the skype voice call? can you be specific?

 

[krocadile1]

He's talking about the helper you can talk to when you press the home button twice. It's called S-Voice

For me it's completely worthless. Nothing but a gimmick...

 

[adelcastillo78]

I use it to create reminders. Thats is the only thing i have found it works well and is useful to me

 

[twitch808]

it seems to work pretty good for me too. I've only used it a couple times. I had it send a text and it did that well. I asked it how many inches in a mile , just to test it out, and it got that too.

I got it to tell me a joke once.

That was about the extent of its usefulness for me.

They need to hurry up with Jelly Bean, because I've had mine since it launched and it understood and correctly did what I asked a grand total of 5 times in the rather large number of times I've tried it. Meanwhile, Google Now on my Nexus 7 has been wrong twice. I'm very unimpressed with it ...

I never thought I would use it, until a month after I had the Sammy, I decided to try it out.
It can be useful. Ill say "Framingham weather", and boom, there it is.
"What's my schedule" will pull up my next 6 appointments.
I tell her I love her, she says "That's a nice thing to say", but she hasn't told me she loves me back yet.
I ask her "What's the best smartphone", and she agrees that it's a Samsung.
I have the S-Voice pinned to the launcher.
Occassionally, I'll ask it a random question, and she will give me the answer, but usually, she just sends me to google.

But your rooted right? Cause us un-rooted peeps can't get GNow otherwise I'd already have that puppy installed.

If he's using Google now then yes, he's rooted.

haha i had to try this, and it said exactly what you did, made me laugh a little.. but as far as S-Voice it works like a charm for me. Granted its not supposed to run your phone, just help you out a littke =]

 

[TheRyland]

S-Voice needs better voice recognition, it cant execute certain pronunciation well...

 

[JeromeJ]

Do you guys know if Google Now is gonna come with the new Kit Kat Update? will it be usable look we see in all those commercials haha? If so I can't wait for that.
