Introducing Voice Actions for Android

[WIThEMaN2]

do you need wifi or 3g for voice actions ?

[PrEdAtOrZ97]

How come when i want to update the voice search app it never updates it stops at the instaling part? It gets annoying

[Fuximoto]

Works pretty good on Nexus S

[RengiMohawk]

SWEEET *--* 

[angel7838]

I need help with calling "call [contact] [phone]"Is there a need to record voice per contact? because mine is not working. :( but everything else does

[jrchachachia]

@GreenTaters u have to say "send message to" or "send email to" in the beginning

[GreenTaters]

@jrchachachia yeah I did that! that's why I'm so confused in the first place! :S

[GreenTaters]

ive been trying this 4 ages, when i want to send a text to someone it will preview a text message like shown at the start of the video, except it keeps saying that the name of the recipient is in the message box and there is no name in the to: section. WTF!!!??!!?!?!

[BlopBlue12]

@GreenTaters

mine as welll :(((( why is this like this?

[Gill1am]

Do they really work that fast??

[killingbotl4d2]

Google, can you make it offline? As in you dont have to go online to use Voice Search

[GroundGravy]

this doesnt work in reality though, that or my phone is retarded

[aznboi1214]

too bad like 80% of the android phones owned right now cant go beyond eclair...

[ChainedReturns]

@aznboi1214

More like, 5% ca'nt go beyond eclair. But it's okay to be ignorant, it is bliss after all.

[jimmyjimjim4567]

notice how google add this feature as a helpful tool for android users and dont use it as thier big marketing tool. Shows how apple has to resort to not gimiks so much but features that dont require a new phone to use.

[aman1072]

my wildfire supports it perfectly i even i tried sm and they worked perfectly for me

[adriandude85]

@JesusChristisMuslim considering android is based off a linux kernal i would say its alot like windows too:)

[adriandude85]

i think you must have android 2.3(gingerbread) for all these features, i only had google search when i was on 2.2 then i upgrqded qnd got all this...or try holding the search button btw i love how this was back in 2010 and siri comes out and everyone thinks its cool and original

[ignacioctc]

SIRI is best

[GREZZ]

it's a really cool video

but in my phone (lg p500) it doesn't work

I've even tried to put the phone next to the speakers and play the video, but the phone doesn't recognize what this guy is saying

It would be really cool if it used to work, witch it does not

[tigovsk]

@GREZZ your phone kinda suck, that's why. I have a Motorola Defy and it works ok, not as good as the video shows.

[CoreyChinnis]

Does anyone know how to change the language on the phone?

[xyrho23]

this app will be the greatest if you work with pann0us

[migLio101]

omg, 2010......

[TheSodaMuffin]

Could use a "watch" command, for Hulu+/Netflix/Zumocast/etc.

[iKRISK0]

this guy is awesome, whats his name?

[jjoeshaw]

@JesusChristisMuslim Yep, but having to buy something to make your phone like it should be is a bit annoying

[jjoeshaw]

@JesusChristisMuslim Drop an iPhone, then drop a Galaxy Nexus. Then you will see which one has the best hardware. If I'm honest I'd say HTC has the best hardware, because it's quality materials (unlike the nexus) and not fragile (like the iPhone).

[craddy96]

@jjoeshaw Yes, because a phone surrounded in glass is obviously the strongest.

Twat

[jjoeshaw]

@craddy96 What?

[jjoeshaw]

@JesusChristisMuslim Nothing to do with sales. That's because hipsters buy into the Apple brand.

[daytonspro]

This deosnt work ever time I say like send text to joe it deosnt put joe as the contact it thinks I want to send a message saying send text to joe.

[solapoutakaneiola]

@daytonspro same problem



[TECpeds94]

Its not that fast!!!!! LOL

[salvadorianvago]

find me a android slut....phone says...i found you a few ones on youtube....

[zypherstones]

@JesusChristisMuslim You're mad because my Samsung Galaxy S ANDROID phone is way better than you're crappy iOS iPhone.

[metallicais1337]

@JesusChristisMuslim i'm debating whether to actually pursue this debate or just let you continue being an ignorant consumer/bad troll...

[geo4honey]

@JesusChristisMuslim You fucking idiot....... this was made a full year before siri... so it's the fucking way around!

[bsvLen]

@geo4honey do you know rwj?

[MrBenxuan]

need money or not

[ThaUnknownAndroid]

I bet you didn't know this piece of shit only understands Americans! If you're English like myself, who speaks with a clear voice, this app won't be NO help! It only understands Americans! Every time I asked it to do something, a prompt screen popped saying, "did you mean......" Uninstalling this piece of JUNK! I don't know why HTC bothered to pre install this app for phones outside the states! GOOGLE YOU FU*KING SUCK!

Thumbs up if you're having the same problem!

[MrAaronlicious]

Can we have more of this guy? He's a stud.

[heavymetallover2008]

hey i got a question about this android voice actions i'm getting a straight talk phone the lg optimus q and it has the android program on it will the google voice actions work for that phone knowing that it has the android program on it or cause i'm gonna get that phone and i just needed to know thanks

[mjtfield]

@eatbetter merely a technicality. ;) it would be even greater if it asked to send and then sent it, like confirming a dial on bluetooth.

[mjtfield]

you DID type to send the message. you used your index finger to press "send" at :19.

[eatbetter]

@mjtfield a press is not typing.

[marvelousmadbabyface]

THIS DOSENT WORK FOR MY DAMM PHONE!! IT JUST SAYS WHAT I SAID BUT IT PUTS FOR MESSAGE NOT FOR WHO TO SEND IT TO!! Screw this

[TejaswinG]

@JesusChristisMuslim

I'm indian, and you're mom called me last night.. 

[ak477394]

@JesusChristisMuslim Um, other Indians? Real smart, man. -.-

[sk8erfrombham]

Who wants some bitch named Siri talking back to you anyway - she better get her ass back to the kitchen.

[NatLynM]

@sk8erfrombham ROFL

[Larster911]

@sk8erfrombham ...and bring me back a beer and a sammich.

[abhijithcr]

Wont call indian names in my phonebook

[serbwithblade]

"Map of coffeeshops in Amsterdam"

[TheGaGa971]

2.2 froyo?or not?

[bgee02470]

Care

[BlubberOwl]

my found isn't as quick to understand... lol

[Nikola24able]

hmm now android can sue apple for coping their tech. Pay back for what apple did to samsung and htc -.-

[aman1072]

@Nikola24able exactly apple can suck android's cock

[TheGfreshGamez]

@Nikola24able There was an app on the apple app store a while back called Siri... And what apple did to samsung and htc was justified. (PLEASE NO HATE RESPONSES OR I WILL BLOCK YOU) No fanboyism here.

[94Coolperson]

@TheGfreshGamez Lol at steve jobbs

[tabamoura]

Nicolas Jerk off?

[TheLosta25]

Try to find Virtual Assistant in Market (SpeakToIt, Vlingo, etc.)

These are better than Siri, because Siri only can understand US english and Voice Control (base of these app) can understand many languages

[18Boedha18]

help me out! when I say 'send text to martin'...my phone puts 'to martin' in the actual text message and not at the receiver....what am i doing wrong?

[audiowiz]

The Joker uses voice actions: watch?v=kuITpQ3QSkc

[bootest123]

есть ли вариант на русском?

какие ключевые слова на русском?

[cadettipk]

It always messes up what I ask it to search so I don't even use it. They need to step up because Siri is making me consider leaving Android.

[tornaachoozsuh]

Still luv using this app .. since AUGUST 2010!

[TonkaUpsidedown]

It doesnt register my words o.o like i said beautiful sunsets and he go to s3x videos -.-' i was like wtf

[Jessejamesjj333]

This is old,, Android change the game ,,and there are Droid phones that can cost you a pretty penny ,by the way if you own a apple liephone ,give that junk to your grandmom or granddad

[kurthewett]

and the best thing is it dosent talk back pretending its intelligent

[TejaswinG]

@kurthewett it does now

[ahtmly2k]

@kurthewett Totally, I mean, would I really want a phone that bitch? I gotta a girlfriend for that..

[MegaSam179]

YO FUCKTARDS THIS VIDEO WAS MADE AUGUST 11 2010 A YEAR BEFORE SIRI WAS MADE

[TheCoin100]

@MegaSam179 You took the words out of my fucking mouth...dumbass pricks

[PolitiekincorrectTV]

@MegaSam179 voice assistent was allrready on iPhone since 2009 fool. Siri is a total other story "she" is unique!

[DaFakaMatt]

@MegaSam179 Yeah but siri responds to your voice

[MegaSam179]

@DaFakaMatt If you really want that, there is an app on android called Jeanie I have it on my phone and it works really good.

[ahtmly2k]

@MegaSam179 GODAAAMN RIGHT MAAAAN!!!!

[writermind]

SIRI isn't voice actions, it's A.I. There's a HUGE difference.

[Daviocomp]

@writermind are you stupid? there is no AI in SIRI... it will take a little more until AI will be available for consumers like us.

[thisistherose]

having trouble sending text. any advice

[audiowiz]

@thisistherose You need to have contacts synced with your google account, then just say "Text Brian" or "Text Josh" like the Joker does: watch?v=kuITpQ3QSkc

[08566581846]

why copy iphone 4s?

[kontar72]

@08566581846 This came out a YEAR AGO, so the question you should be asking is why is "Apple copying Google?"

[08566581846]

@kontar72 Ooops.. sorry my fault... big apologize. i looked at the comments only. silly me.

[WeAreBornForThisxD]

Faked from siri booooooooh android only fake things from apple

[MrMediaDJ]

@WeAreBornForThisxD

Lol, Voice Recognition for Android exists way longer than then the pre-installed Siri for the iPhone.

[kontar72]

@WeAreBornForThisxD - This came out over a year ago so you should have said "Siri is faked from Android boooooooh Apple only fake things Google."

[conquistadorhoosteen]

@WeAreBornForThisxD Never used an Android phone have you?

[jeetvaghela81]

You guys are copying siri on iphone 4s

[MrErhyie]

@jeetvaghela81 you are dumb like ****

[MrErhyie]

IT NEVER WORKS

[jjoeshaw]

@jeetvaghela81 You are stupid.

[vigneshwaran2007]

Wow! That's Cool!! Now it's US only. Expecting support for more countries and more languages.

[ArthurDeBisu]

@vigneshwaran2007 i'm now using it with french and it works fine ;-)

[tried12usernames]

omg this is a total Siri ripoff...

wait...

[dd123928]

@tried12usernames

Yes this is a big ripoff of something that didn't exist back then

[tried12usernames]

@dd123928 my point exactly

[MrJosephvids]

:D great!!!!

[gggooodddyyy]

if your going to use voice to text someone, why not phone them?

[yukio321]

@gggooodddyyy when someone you're trying to reach is not available to answer phone call, or when you don't want to talk to a person but need to convey a message, etc..

[TheLyon301]

Its a pretty cool program actually

[Youareabtch]

android is gay only niggers cant afford an iphone

[arleydaza]

Lástima que este aplicación no funcione en un Samsung Galaxy Pro... de seguro es por la resolución de la pantalla... aveces me arrepiento de comprar un hibrido como este.... pero bueno.

[YSKite]

Is this aimed at homosexuals?

[Segel]

@YSKite Is this comment written by a moron?

[TheCacapoopoobutt]

Er, @lightinggold

Lol

[TheCacapoopoobutt]

@lightninggold

This is Jeannie. They changed the name to Jeannie recently, and of courae Jeannie is better, cause it's updated. Pay attention to how old this video is.

[yesyesmanable]

@TheCacapoopoobutt this is google's voice search with voice actions features. The app called voice actions aka jeannie is different its a virtual personal assistant. Because its been out longer i cant help but to think apple copied some features from voice actions app and google search app for the remix version of siri in the iphone 4s

[LightingGold]

i think Jennie(From Market) is better

[BADBOY91362]

didnt apple copy the voice thing from android's voice search? as far as i know android had voice search before apple did. granted apple didnt invent siri, but bought it from someone else. still though, its the same thing as what android has been doing for years now, only with added capability and more clever responses.

[easminaj]

Why android 2.2 and higher???Not fair!!!

[dannyytran]

SIRI FTW

[brendendas]

god knows why whenever i say something like navigate to or directions to it just runs a google search! android 2.2 samsung galaxy s i9003

[charmanderstail]

can android voice actions do this? damnlol(dot)com/coolest-thing-­apple-has-ever-made-9034(dot)h­tml

[roryissocool12345678]

first of all, to all the the people acting batshit insane saying, "apple you can suck my dick" I kind of find it coincidental that Google would release a another video showing their voice action technology a month out of Iphone 4s Siri. I think google got tipped off about siri, i mean it was a rumor 2 months ago. I wonder when they were shooting the Siri demo reel, that google just happened to find out, and then work their ass off to then release an update to their voice actions tech.

[callmeabrar]

@roryissocool12345678 Did you managed to read the date when this video was uploaded? Fanboy.

[Niobe99]

@roryissocool12345678 : but the video is dated Aug 11, 2010, not exactly a month or two before.

[zeretmusicent]

@roryissocool12345678 this video is for aug 11, 2010 and actually this is after an upgrade, google voice search has been around for the past couple of years it is also what made the google phone nexus special and that phone came out jan 2010

[Olegsergeev111]

siri лососнёт

[Donnner93]

Lets hope they add some sort of personality to the search like Siri, you feel more comfortable and important if it respond to what you say and listens to you. That it got a normal name and not " search tool ", more like Jenny/marcus blabla based on gender

[ZoneyTV]

Android just need to work on this app for about 3 months, design it carefully, add more features, give you the option for it to talk back to you and it will be even better than Siri!

[kak10053]

@ZoneyTV well if you dowload the app 'voice actions' it is a lot like Siri and its pretty funny too.

[zeretmusicent]

@ZoneyTV android using have had siri type apps for a while now... download Speaktoit assistant in the market its been in there before the siri on iphone 4s came out. here is a video for it Youtube.com/watch?v=yPdZgt2O2k­s

[djrdan6]

Please update this. I have been trying for around an hour to send texts, call, search and listen to music, but every time the software misinterprets what I say. I have my language pack installed on there, and the phone will often search for "call ..." or even search for "listen to ...". It got even more frustrating after I said "send text to ...", and then it displays "2 ..." in the message body! Please update this, it has so much potential, but it's infuriatingly inaccurate currently.

[blingblong1]

Joshua

[GT45000]

As an android user I can speak for most users here by saying that we arent attacking apple fanboys and their praises of siri, it is more a case of apple fanboys going overboard claiming it is some revolution or that these competing products are imitations. I will admit siri is a more refined software as it has been given far more in R&D and has been carefuly integrated to the hardware.

[noppiichi]

Well if this ad is copying apple, then siri is kinda copying this :/

[Mrbluefire95]

Android is shit

[kontar72]

@Mrbluefire95 stopwiththefanboybullshitandge­talife. 

[faroutfishingtrips]

a phone ad with a white background and a "cool" young kid is copying apple....

[Jimmyfrominwood]

@faroutfishingtrips thats how i see it.. but both company are copying off each other. even tho without apple android might not exist or might not be as advance.

[mish3lovic]

siri is better because it can tell you where to hide a body. lol

[LayerHD]

Its funny cuz Youtube is a Google product and android is a Google product and Google maps is a Google product so apple yeah they make good computers but phones with one button and 16months old hardware and keeps copying others by just redesign it isn't invention... Im not saying that apple is a bad company but come on apple fanboys u know who's right just admit it...

[DC9848]

I've heard time believing that android accepts orders that fast, the time between voice recognition is close to zero



[t1a2r3i4k5]

Why its not working with dutch :(

[danny00731]

@t1a2r3i4k5 try shuting down ur phone nd restarting it then it should work(:

[Supernova1295]

This video was released over a damn year ago. Seriously Google is copying Apple? lol Apple is copying a year old Google technology.

[billyandika3158]

Seriously, I didn't know Voice Actions existed. I definitely know that voice search is pretty common. But this shows how much significance this feature has. it's just not cool/awesome. Apple can create an awesome voice command product, so let it be. The fact is, it's better and why are people still comparing Siri to voice actions?

[MegaMan7045]

@billyandika3158 What the hell is an Apple fanboy doing on a Google video? Seriously, if you want to troll for pleasure, you can kindly go do it somewhere else.

Good day to you, Sir.

[abksharma]

has apple already copyrighted the "itch balls when One pees" because I do that all the time. Apple is real evil Not microsoft not google.

[ShakeAndBakeGuy]

Apple didn't invent voice action control which is a common misperception. However, when they did implement it, it worked a lot better than Voice Actions for Android because it has a lot larger vocabulary that recognizes slang, different cultures, etc. That's why people love their products. Not because they were always the "first", but because they were the best. This is nothing new. They founded their business on this idea of "re-inventing".

[DeGarmo2]

@ShakeAndBakeGuy This is entirely right. The same with multi-touch touch screens. Apple didn't invent them, they just made them work unlike anyone had done before.

[namige]

Steve Jobs once said: You don't have to be the first, you just have to be the best

[Mrbluefire95]

The reason why Siri is more superior is because you don't need to tap the screen to continue your request. Like the text, you have to press the send button, while siri says "Do you want to send this?" You say yes and you don't even have to take the phone out of your pocket. This is with the apple mic headphones of course

[KXRider212]

im temporarily using a nexus s whilst i move from ip4 to 4s, the google voice control is terrible.

[AmiZya2]

FUCK YOU SIRI :D

[accountwhereiam18]

@AmiZya2

siri is way better lol. im an android guy but ive seen siri vids

[SWSimplicity]

1. Voice actions are not in Dutch, is there anyway it'll get an update so it is possible to do voice actions ind Dutch?

2. Hire the guys who made the other voice actions app (made by Pannous) and combine and improve theirs with google's (theirs is based on google's if i'm right) and improve compatibility (Not compatibel with my HTC Sensation)

[ludig7]

Is this statement, below, hilarious or what?!

Hell, I'm an iPhone user & I think this is BS!

-------------

MacDailyNews Take: Android is for the cheap and/or ignorant. We pity those who settle for less than the best — a blatant, half-assed imitator, no less — especially when the best is basically the same price.

[synadude]

Doesn't work on HTC Wildfire!

[SlightyDisturbedNBK]

Still have to press send.

[ValiumAlleyoop]

Jitkoff? damn what a last name...

[Xarieus]

check the upload date, APPLE FANS

[Shen357]

does it finds porn :D

[Thimmet]

@Shen357 Tried it.. the search term gets censored to "p***". lol

[SWSimplicity]

@Thimmet there's an option to disable censoring

[salmaraz84]

vlingo has been out a long time and works pretty well

[Rawrfearmeh333]

WHY U NOT COMPATIBLE WITH CAPTIVATE :(
