http://www.talkandroid.com – Google’s new Voice Search and Google Now has gone through numerous tests by various users ever since Google announced them. Thus far, no one has given Google Voice Search such a long and informative test like this YouTube user by the name of JLishere on his Samsung Galaxy Nexus. He goes through various types of questions and I felt like Google’s Voice Search was really up for the challenge and performed very well. Take a look at the video yourself and let us know what you think about the tests that he ran. Click here to view the embedded video. Visit TalkAndroid for Android news, (IT news)

Stories similar to Google’s New Voice Search Survives a 47 Question Barrage

Google first announced its plans to bring enhanced voice search to iOS back in August, and now the company has finally made good on its word.

There has been so many videos lately that pit Siri against Google’s new Voice Search from Jelly Bean. Google seems to win the majority of them and this video is no different, but it’s pretty funny as well. Annie Gaus from App Judgement decided to test them both out with actual questions that she Googled in the last week.

  Readers who are fortunate enough to have spent some time using Android 4.1 Jelly Bean are familiar with the Google Now app for conducting searches. The Google Now app lets users speak a question and then get an answer spoken back to them. Basically, the app is a voice-recognition interface similar to the Siri functionality Apple shows off in their commercials for iOS devices.

  Leave it to Google to continue to push innovation as its main agenda for Android users. Google has announced a new version of its Voice Search software and the app can now recognize 13 new languages such as European Portuguese, Romanian, Serbian and Catalan. With the new additions, this brings the grand total of the Voice Search recognition to 42 languages.

Hello, Everyone.

My name is x, and I'm a Google Voice Search app addict. =)

There's a huge difference in the Voice Search apps across the two different versions of Android.

I use Google Voice Search for EVERYTHING. I ride a Ninja everywhere, add it's my only vehicle.

It may not have a cool name like “Siri,” but you can’t accuse Google’s Voice Search app of lacking personality. Or self-awareness, for that matter. In case you missed it, Google upgraded its iOS search app on Tuesday with improved voice search functionality – it’s the closest that iOS users can get to a “Google Now“-like experience.

Hi, My first post here, I'm very new to Android so I'm hoping I'm just doing something foolish. Google Voice search used to work fine, but it has suddenly stopped working, and all I get is "Can't reach Google at the moment".

I speak, it says "recognising" and then it fails without converting any of my speech.

This may not seem like a big deal but is there any way to change the voice I get from Google's voice search? I can't stand the way the female American voice sounds and I used to have the English one which I preferred but it disappeared on UltimaROM.

Any help?

Just ran the updated to the latest version of Android. I was quite looking forward to playing around with the new Google search voice functionality. I have no problem getting it to recognize my voice and perform commands however the app doesn't talk to me. It always displays the information on my screen.
