Skyvi doesn’t like Jews. I asked her if she was an anti-semite and she said “Yes, how did you know?” So yeah…That’s weird.

Na lads. For non search this actually blows Google away. Google should buy this. Obviously siri and apple are the pits

How do you open up applications with Google Voice Search? Doesn’t seem to do that. (Neither does Skyvi from what I can tell?) So for now I’m just sticking to Vlingo. Yea, Vlingo doesn’t do calendar entries but that’s not a high priority for me.

You need to able to simply tell it a phone number that not in your contacts and have it dialed. It opens navigation to a chosen place as fast as lightening. But the wording to get it to search for a location is ridiculous. But like I said once you learn the wording it’s extremely fast. Opening all applications of your phone is a basic need. It doesn’t. It’s especially telling when you can’t open the calender. I’ve taken this app off and onto my phone four times. And I’ve tried them all. There is something I like about it. Such as it gives you a choice of having texts automatically sent or sent manually. Though Speaktoit seems to get higher ratings…I think Skyvi could pass them all by with a little care to the basics. Get on the ball and you could charge for it.

Skyvi is decent. I have it downloaded on My phone and it is good to kill time with. But I don’t think it is a good as siri yet. A lot of the time she doesn’t understand what you say, and she doesn’t give full descriptions on questions you ask her. But doing simple things like texting and updating Facebook are really good. If they work on this App some more, then I think it would be a great one.they also need to let her open the calender like siri can and allow her to set reminders.

it inputs data into it… it’s a keyboard. Does it learn your texting habits from it like it will from the native MMS app? No. Another examples all the third party apps that replace the native MMS app… are there any third party apps to replace the Voice app? No.

Love it. It’s everything I was wanting out of siri with just one regret…it doesn’t have calander access. As soon as it does it will have satisfied my itch to trade in (downgrade) for an iphone.

You ask google for something and it just does it, and doesn’t talk back, that’s what i like.

You are incorrect. The SwiftKey keyboard interacts with Google Voice.

How did you get it installed? Their description on the web interface for the Play Store says it’s not compatible with ICS, and searching for it on the device turns nothing up.

::Edit::

Nevermind, looks like they just updated it to include official support!

Another Siri knock off that most Android users couldn’t care less about whilst boasting about being being able to compete with Siri just for the sake of competing with Siri. Yay.
