Hey Brian:
Thanks for sharing your experience with voice recognition. I have used Jeannie (like Siri) and Assistant It’s a Talking assistant for your phone. Answers questions, performs tasks. Both of these products pretty much do the same thing, but assistance works with the Google voice search, and it's an app, that you can download for any android phones, 2.1 and higher. But just like the Google voice search, assistance will pick up any other speech program that's talking while the app is open. This is a problem because we wouldn't be able to use this feature on our phone, because m.a. or talkback is speaking while the app is asking us to speak our command. I would like to write a proposal to Google, and make them aware of this, and see if they are able to make the voice search, work like siri. Where once the voice search is open the built in speech program would stay quiet and voice search will pull up the results to what we ask for, and then have the screen reader take over when we click on any of the results. Now we could have code factory look into doing this as well, but we all know how drastically slow they move when making any slight changes. Though, we can ask to see if the creator of talkback to look into making these slight changes that way it will work better with the Google’s voice search. Before any of this gets started I will need everyone’s effort, in writing up their personal experience when using voice search or the Google’s search app, with a screen reader. If anyone would like to assist me in writing this proposal feel free to contact me off this list. I hope all this information have been somewhat helpful to everyone on this list. warm regards, Pedro From: Brian Sellden Sent: Monday, January 21, 2013 7:28 AM To: 'Mobile Accessibility Android Users List' Subject: RE: [MA] This question is for the fully advance android 4.0 and higherusers. Hi Pedro, I can only tell you my experiences. I didn’t have any problems with Jeanie on Gingerbread. The Voice Search feature in Jellybean is a little different in its behavior. It isn’t conversational as Jeanie and Siri are. Instead, you click the voice search button, it sounds a tone and says ‘Google’, then waits for you to ask a question or give a command. It seems to perform a Jeanie-like lookup of the answer at the same time it performs a Google search. If the answer can be spoken (not sure what the rules are, here) it will speak the answer. Otherwise, you can flick through the results of the Google search. The voice recognition is amazing compared to everything else I’ve tried. You can also use the voice recognition to populate text messages and such, but you’ll need ear phones for this because the phone can hear itself talking and gets confused. But again the accuracy is fantastic. BTW – I use Talkback exclusively on Jellybean. Hope that helps a little.

Hello, This question is for the fully advance android 4.0 and higher users. I am looking to find out other then Jeanie, does android 4.0 or 4.1, have a voice command, or voice action feature, that works like the IPhone SIRI. I have tried working with the Google search option, and its voice action garbage, and it does not work well with any speech program for the blind. I am looking to find out if there’s anything I’ve over looked. Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks in advance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ ma_mailing mailing list [email protected] http://list.codefactory.cat/mailman/listinfo/codefactory.cat.ma_mailing
