You have to setup access to "Google search" not voice search.
I mapped it to a quick launch icon in the lock screen.
I also mapped it to "Google Search" in Nova Launcher Prime.
The centre dock icon is mapped so that if you swipe it up, it launches Google Now. Kind of like stock Jelly Bean.

Google search literaly HAS become Google Now.
Ask it in voice the square root of 634018 and itl read it to you.
1st time voice rec has actualy been useful and quicker for me
P.s if you want a cute lil microphone shortcut to talk to your phone....
Download "Custom ICS Search" widget add normally for a widget but ul get colour options so under the colour selecter theres a slider, make "frame" and "google" trasparent by sliding it to checkered.
Make the lil mic any colour u want, save.
Then on homepage, long press it, select "resise" n make the big pointles box as wee as it shall goeth

How do you do that? Google Voice is not appearing on custom short cut list nor the list for home screen short cuts. Only Google+ and Google Search is there... and to take the confusion out, what I meant by Google Voice, what I really mean s Google Cards. (The screen with all the cards)
Oh I get what you mean. I was " multitasking" on my last message. It wasn't clear...
To get the shortcut on your lock screen:
Settings -> lock screen: set to "swipe"
Go into shortcuts. Set one of the shortcuts to " Google". It's a blue icon with the letter G.
Unless you use Nova Prime, my second method won't interest you.

Simply, while at homepage, hold down the "menu" (lil invisible button to the left of HOME) for like half a second and youre in Now

Sorry guys for asking so many questions 
Is there a way to increase the distance between shortcut icons on home screen if you have less than the max amount? For example, if I only have two shortcuts, the lock screen place them side by side about one icon apart. Is there a hidden option that can increase the distance between them? (specially for people who have fat fingers like me... LOL)

I'm on apex launcher and set it so up swiping on the screen launches it.

You can do it with a third party launcher like Nova or Apex. I prefer Nova. There are nice features not available in Touchwiz.

Is there any reason why my Google Voice won't talk back to me? (yes the always speak back is ON) I remember reading something like that here, but I cannot find the thread. So far I tried the following:
-Set all the default language across every app to US English.
-Set ONLY the Google Voice to US English while leaving Canadian English for system default
-Set ONLY the Google Voice to Canadian English and set the system default to US English
-Make sure the media volume is high (in fact I made all the volume for the device high)
-Make sure Google Search and all the other search option access is ON for Google Voice
Nothing works. The question I asked was: "What's the weather in Calgary?" Also tried, "Who is the President of USA?". Both came back with right answers and yet she won't speak to me! Yes, the search results are right and it even show the weather in a card. While the demo on Google website, when the weather card is requested by voice, it speak back!

Download "Locale Setting" from the playstore and use it to set the system locale to English (US).

Re: [OFFICIAL] GS3 JellyBean Speculation
All, we here at iBOLT are starting to get a bettter grasp on the missing car-mode and aux-out features in Jellybean when used with a car-dock. Based on our current understanding (please correct this if anyone know anything different...) the following is the situation:
1. For any Jellybean formally released by any US or Canadian Carrier the car-mode and aux-out will work properly, this was proven when Sprint launched the Jellybean version a few weeks ago. The upcoming release for AT&T, Verizon and others will also have these features properly incorporated. This means that if you have a car-dock, type the iBOLT version we are offering for sale online or in Verizon stores you can safely continue to use it or buy it if you have not yet. So essentially it appears that Samsung US (headquarter in TX) is on the ball and know what they are doing so let's not yell at them anymore...
2. The International version of S III is essentially a completely different phone as it's using a different processor and is even slightly different in size. The firmware implemented in this version is derived from the Polish JB version, where Samsung has a big software Team. That is also why the Polish version is 1st out when new JB releases starts rolling out. As the development of this JB version is done independently from the US version they have different feature sets. Many US consumers have purchased an unlocked phone, which would by default use a European firmware update instead of US carrier specific. Many US advanced users have also rooted their phones and are downloading the Polish/German/UK version of JB, or a non-official version of some kind and they are pretty much without exception missing the car-mode and aux-out feature set. Based on multiple contacts with Samsung customer support representatives in Europe we have high hopes Samsung Poland will turn these features on again in the next release but no guarantees of course.
I hope the above makes sense? A lot of information with good news for North American drivers and "please hold" for our European friends

Download Kies for your computer, install, restart (had to on Macbook), open Kies, plug in phone, click notification telling you new firmware is available for device.
Re: [OFFICIAL] GS3 JellyBean Speculation
Have you confirmed this with Canadian Jelly Bean devices? I see you have with Sprint, but not for any others? I'm supposed to be receiving an iBolt for Christmas but will be disappointed if it does not work properly.
