Bing mobile search works but is not comprehensive (Speech to text only works within that app, not OS wide). I was hoping that would be a killer new feature in WM7, but now I see it is already in the Nexus One
Hey all, just giving you the heads up that I am a n00b when it comes to android, however I think I have read as much as I can on this issue and can't quite find what I am looking for, so.. time to ask you guys!
When I was using the stock (2.1) firmware that came with my Galaxy S, the stock Messaging application had a button for 'Smilies' which I could use to quickly add a in a text message.( or others if I long pressed the keyboard button)
I have recently flashed the the Doc_Kalpik Froyo JP6/JPM V6 ROM.
Now when I use the 'stock' Messaging application the 'Smilies' button has been replaced by a 'carriage return' key, which don't get me wrong isn't all that bad, but I am wondering how I can change it.
I am using Swype, but from what I understand this isn't necessarily a 'keyboard thing' or a 'Rom/firmware' thing as much as it is a 'Messaging application' thing.
Apparently there is a good messaging app (Handcent) that allows me to change some of the keys on the keyboard, but I would like to try to use the stock Messaging app if possible.
I can still access the smiley menu through the 'settings' key while typing a message, but I just wan't to know if I am able to toggle this keys functionality without requiring a new keyboard/messaging app.
Thanks in advance.
I guess no one knows what I am talking about?

Hi all.
I just lost my iPhone 4S (bummer). and I need to replace it with something. I am considering the Note but had a question...
The speach to text feature was my favorite on my iPhone, I would do MMS, email or any other typing by simply speaking into the microphone. The phone would turn my voice into text and I could send it on it's way.
Does the Note have a good Speach to Text feature?
Try vlingo

I don't actually have the device yet, but I will keep that in mind when/if I do. Does that app compare to Siri favorably? Do you use it and do you like it? I just want to be able to create texts and email from voice. Not the commands but rather the actual text.
I am using TouchPal keyboard on my note I have found that it's got better voice recognition than Google itself
I have posted this using the voice recognition ...
........
but if you are looking for an app like Siri. ... I don't think you will find any. .....well there is iris but it's not good for sending sms or messages ...its just a chat bot.....
you can try vlingo like ketan said but Siri is way better and you will be disappointed
Thanks both of you.
I am not nuts over Siri.. most of it is fairly useless and stupid.. I just want to be able to dictate text into an mms or email, and it sounds like either of these two apps do it fine.
Though it was funny telling Siri to "Remind me to kill myself tomorrow at 9am"...
the following day I got an alert saying "Kill yourself in 15 minutes"... we laughed a bit at that... not really useful but kinda fun.
oh yeah...forgot to ask.
Does the note connect to the newer samsung smart TVs the way the tab 10 and 7 do?

I'm looking for a keyboard which supports both full line selection when highlighting and also uses Google voice recogniser? Otherwise I'm looking for a fix to tweak "Sywpe" so that it will use Google voice recogniser. Let me explain:
My preferred keyboard is "Swype" because it's the only keyboard I've ever been able to find on which, when highlighting/selecting text, it's possible to select full lines (up and down arrows) as well as character by character (left and right arrows).
However, because Swype is the Note's native keyboard, it defaults to Samsung's Vlingo voice recogniser and won't let me choose and use Google's.
Thus what I'm looking for is either an alternative keyboard which supports selecting text by line, not just character, and also uses Google voice recogniser, or else - and preferably - a hack for "Swype" that will allow it to use Google and not Vlingo.
Can anyone help at all?
Thanks.

Just select Google in Settings->Language and input->Voice recogniser instead of Vlingo. Then when you hit the microphone it will use that.

I'm afraid that's not the case. Swype defaults to Vlingo regardless of whether it or Google is the selected voice recogniser. That's the point of my problem; Swype doesn't seem to want to recognise Google, and I presume that this is because Samsung want you to use their keyboard and their voice recogniser.
Use the stock swype which comes with the stock rom on galaxy note and there u have that feature.

One of us is wrong here! I wouldn't for a moment suggest it were you, so I must have a flaw with my Note. It's rooted, but running the stock rom and indeed the stock Swype keyboard. However, regardless of whether I select Google or Vlingo, Swype always uses Vlingo. I have confirmed this by installing three alternative keyboards, all of which will use whichever of the two voice recognition options I pick. But Swype won't. If I could but find an alternative keyboard which supports highlight-selecting text by line, not just character by character, I would be very happy to dump Swype, use it, and solve the Vlingo/Google problem that way. But it seems that Swype is the only keyboard which supports line by line highlight-selecting.

Try SwiftKey, may be worth a go. There's a limited free version you can test before purchasing, very good keyboard and able to highlight lines of text.

Many thanks. I'm very encouraged when you say it's possible to highlight complete lines of text, but thus far I've not been able to work out how to select any text at all! Could this be a limitation of the free version, perhaps? It certainly allows Google voice recognition, so if I could crack the text-selection part I may have solved my problem (or rather you may have, many thanks). Could you be so kind as to let me know how you text in the full version? I fear it may not be possible in the free one.
The other thing I would ask is whether it's possible in the paid version (it isn't in the free one) to switch off all predictive text, auto-spelling, etc? I'm afraid I'm old-fashioned and don't like any kind of prediction or help with my typing!

To highlight text within the text input box, just press and hold on a word, the highlight will highlight a portion of text, then you can drag the marker to include any further text required. Just tested and works well. I have the tablet full version which is excellent.
As to options with predictive text, you can set it to only offer suggestions which pop up above the line and need to be selected (for accurate typers) or to auto correct which constantly changes input (for speedy typers). I'm like you and don't like too much input as I'm relatively accurate and find the foremost very usable, not too intrusive.

Thanks very much for the info. Ah, so text selection requires dragging the markers to where you want them. Swype's way is so much neater; you press "Highlight text" and then just move the left/right/up/down keys to select whatever characters, words or lines you want.
In other words, it's done entirely from the keyboard. I really am beginning to get the feeling that Swype is the only keyboard that does this. I've now tried A.I Keyboard, Perfect Keyboard, SWiftkey, Super Keyboard, TouchPal Keyboard, TSwipe-Pro, Big Buttons Keyboard and Ultra Keyboard, all of which allow selecting text by using the left and right arrows, but none the up and down arrows.
Can anyone suggest any other possibilities?
You can download the Swype beta and get Nuance voice input which is superior to Google's. The text you see here is dictated directly through Nuance.

Very interesting and encouraging, thanks. But Swype Beta isn't in the Play Store. Is there an apk anywhere?

Unfortunately, this beta version doesn't seem to get on well with my Note at all. There are a number of small bugs which I could probably live with - and completely accept, knowing that this is only a beta - however there are two biggies. Firstly, the return key doesn't work!! And secondly it's not possible to switch off predictive text (I hate predictive text with a passion and simply can't use it). It's a great shame because Nuance voice that looks fantastic and works really well, but another bug I have is that you can't see the results of your dictation until you close the keyboard.
So unfortunately Swype Beta isn't the answer for me after all, therefore I'm still looking for an alternative keyboard, if anyone else can suggest any please?
Thanks.
If you go to settings > apps > all then scroll to vlingo you can disable it and then you should be able change the voice action to Google when using SWYPE (pre installed)

Unfortunately I can't. Vlingo isn't there under settings/apps, at least not as "Vlingo" or "Samsung Vlingo". Either it's there under a completely different name or else it's cleverly embedded in the firmware and doesn't appear at all.
Click the all tab and i disabled zinio and voice talk apps for vlingo. Try that.

I got the app above to work. Gotta make sure and install the Google text to speech app in order for it to work.

Grab Enhanced SMS & Caller ID+
Well worth the money, can announce pretty much any notification from any app and you can even get it to prompt for a voice reply (speech to text) to read the whole message etc. or even reply to it. Unparalleled support from Ed and constantly updated unlike lots of other apps. Used it for years and one of the best apps I have on my phone.
