Hi-Q MP3 Voice Recorder (Full)

Why not just download them and pick which one you like the best?

I have tried a few just have not really liked any so far. I don't like adds and buying all the apps it pointless. I would like to give a developer the money for a good app. Word of moth around here points out great DEVs and I like to support them when I can.
TY Galaxy for the suggestion.

Android "Siri" version?

Hi there. I am throughougly enjoying my Xperia Z (an upgrade from iPhone 5). The only thing I miss from iPhone was that while I was riding my bike, I would be able to speak to Siri and request her to play specific songs or artists for me on the go. I can't seem to get this feature to work on Android.
What I'm looking for: A feature that with the press of a button on a handset/headset enables you to talk to your phone and request it to play a song.
Can this be done?
Thanks.
Does Voice Search do it?

Yea, android version of Siri is Google now, you can easily access it sliding with your finger from home button down your screen to the any place on top.

I use Robin - the Siri Challenger. Check the play store for it.
Thanks so much for your feedback, everyone. I recall having issues getting the android default voice assistant to play me music on the go. Can anyone 100 % confirm any voice assistant (default or otherwise) being able to playback music by vocal command?

google now instead s-voice ?

Hi,
Is there possible to install google now on gear2 instead s-voice ?
best regards.
Not yet. There are talks about people working on it but so far it is not possible.
This would make me want to keep my Gear Neo if we could use Google Now. I keep going back to my LG G Watch because Google Now works so much better than S-Voice. I like the hardware of the Neo, just not the software

Then you should instal Google Wear on Neo...

Do all of the hardware items still work like the remote control and health options?
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
In the latest builds, the hardware works. All that doesn't work is having phone conversations on the Gear and the photo gallery.
I really wish we could dual boot between the two. I like features of both and neither has any particular thing that'll keep me from the other.
I will have to try it. Do you have a link to where I can get the instructions and download information?

[Q]text to speech ?

Just curious, I'm looking all over for an app that will read my texts to me while I'm driving and allow me to respond via voice. I see there are tons that send automated messages that I'm driving, but none that will actually read the message and allow me to respond without picking up my phone and looking away from the road. Coming from windows phone to nexus family, this is the only drawback i could find. Any suggestions?
If there's already a post with this can someone send me a link please.

Agent do not disturb. Been using it since I switched from moto x to nexus 6. It needs to be configured initially but works great. Even has a widget to manually turn on so you can use it while not driving.
Thanks, gonna try agent for a few days, as it's free and I don't need everything that's on enhanced.

You can use tasker and the auto voice plugin to perform this and much more! Tasker is a full automation app that has endless possibilities

Speech to Text in SMS/Hangouts

I have been using the speech to text with all of the note series (3,4, and 5). So i just received my note 7 a week ago. Everytime I do an SMS/Hangout and i click the microphone for the speech to text, it comes up as the "S-Voice" speech to text. Has anyone figured out if they can get "Google's" Speech to text working or what i would need to do to switch to Google's Version?
Thanks!

Not that I'm aware of yet. I hope they update this so we can. I absolutely hate the Samsung version but I like their keyboard.
In the meantime I'm using the Google keyboard which isn't bad but not quite what I want

I like the Google themed keyboard better so for me its not so bad. I tried the samsung keyboard for a few days but without the Google Voice it drove me crazy as well and had to switch

Google Allo is here!

For anyone that hasn't already heard, Google just released Allo. As of this post it is not on Google play yet, but I bring a link to the apk from India, who already have it.

Fair warning: there is no [worthy] SMS integration (yet?), However, the Google assistant is pretty fun to talk to. Someone at Google is gonna get a good laugh when they read my suggestion.

hahahah awesome bro!
Another Google flop.
Why is it so....lacking?! Even reply from the notification is limited to the quick replies from allo. Google made replies from notification along with this app and Nougat, but didnt implement it correctly? This is a stripped down hangouts. Can't even use it for SMS. it just doesnt make any sense.....uninstalled in 15 minutes. Will reconsider if some minor, yet crucial tweaks are made.
With no sms integration. This isnt going to last very long. The fact that you can't have it like hangouts where it's both an sms and instant messaging is going to kill it. I hate. No loathe the fact that now I have to have yet another app for instant messaging and a separate app for sms

Another useless google attempt. I don't use any google product if there is a good alternative. This company has so much user info it's scary.
Absolutely pointless! Uninstalled
If they add a web interface, it will replace Hangouts/SMS with those close to me very quickly because of the SMS fallback. But without a way to use it on other devices, I have no use for it.
This app is completely pointless. I don't care how pretty it is.
Whenever I sit and try my best to like an app, its usually gone for me in a day. The assistant is interesting, so maybe thats worth working with, but I will stick to my messaging app. I use pushbullet on my laptop so I can send/receive sms, still works well.
I really want to like it but if it can't be set as default SMS, doesn't auto backup my SMS, has no desktop client, doesn't import all my current messaging history I can't see myself using it. From the gripes I'm seeing around comment sections I know many feel the same.
I enjoy it for what it's worth, an IM client. Most of my friends and family are using it now so getting the most of it. Admittedly though, if your circle isn't into it becomes useless. The sms integration (?) is bizarre to say the least

It can't even pass the butter...
I was ery excited about this because i thought it was gonna be on par with imessage (before iOS10) But i was extremely disappointed to see the horrible SMS integration. Sure i can probably convince 2-3 of my friends to use it But i dont want to have to remember who has it and who does not.
Correct me if im wrong but i believe that during the demo at Google IO that they said for peope who do not have it it would post your google assistant stuff via MMS so that the people who your SMSing would see it.
I like it but with iMessage iOS10 update and the lack of SMS its really dumb.
