I’ve never used any voice integration on any of the phones I have owned over the years.

Voice apps for me are useless until my phone A) wakes to my voice B) recognizes the difference between the Music player and Google Cloud Music Player C) understands what I’m saying while driving with moderate road noise.

Perhaps now all the i*hone lovers can walk around pretending they are Tony Starks talking to Jarvis to do everything for them.

The reality is you are talking to a machine… so… I’m trying to be efficient and if I can do it faster with voice commands then awesome

I use the navigation part all of the time. I need more though. Music controls, GOOD texting controls (not 4 buttons, then say what I want), etc… Androids functionality pales in comparison when it comes to voice controls, and I think Siri is a great innovation…It’s really hard to argue that Android does it even nearly as good.

I use voice commands every day…. not really a fad I would say. Though, I don’t need it to be conversational because I feel like it will work better if you don’t make it that way

Navigation is actually the only thing I use voice control for. Hit 1 button, say “Navigate to _____.” Works almost every time, unlike my Lexus…

It actually works faster when your droid is being slow to use voice search. All the processing is done by a Google Server and not on your phone. It helps the Droid skip all of the user input steps to get to a text message, etc…

Great job for getting rid of bad rubbish…sometimes you just have to clean house even if you don’t want to.

To send a txt takes 2 button presses with Voice Search. To call someone or get directions or start navigation takes 1.

They also pose as police to search people’s homes.

I use voice actions of text messages once in a while, but it rarely gets it right. These kind of apps are only good if they “listened” all the time. A certain word could activate it, without having to push 10 buttons to do the same thing.

I *WOULD* use voice apps – but my OG Droid barely has enough memory to answer a phone call, so I don’t bother trying to make it work any harder than it has to.
