http://forum.xda-developers.com – How do you prevent Google Now/Search/Voice from showing people contact cards when you ask it questions? I've already disabled it from searching PEOPLE in the Phone Search settings. Google Voice used to be 90% reliable when I would ask it to "Call business name" but now it's like 10% accurate. It always shows a People contact card even though it correctly displays the phrase that I speak. Anyone know how to fix this? (HowTos)

I've been using voice commands for years on my Nexus S from the Gingerbread incarnation of Google Search all the way until 4.1.2 and Google Now. One of my most frequently used commands is Call. For example, if I wanted to call the nearest Best Buy, I would simply say "Call Best Buy." This always worked perfectly up until a few days ago.

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.

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.

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.

  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.

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.

For months now I've been watching all the demos of voice search I was really excited because I liked the way voice search spoke the search results so what the heck is up with this new JB update from Verizon, I'm not getting any spoken results in voice search!

I am new to the droid world and was fortunate enough to get a Nexus 4. My life will never be the same!

I have a few questions..

Is there a way to voice search for apps/applications on the phone?

  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.
