Google Now Commands

Google Now works with network (and GPS) on all the time. To activate, long press home button and 'G' point (the middle button), use menu and parameter, here you can active google now. You must also activate Search history in your google account or google now parameter.
After you activate google now, on parameter you have new entry for what to use.
Google now is a sort of assistant, he can show you the wheater based on your location, the next appointment based on the calendar, the next show, based on your internet search, and so on.
But there is no widget, so it's as useful as it's intend to be.

When i want to send email,,nothing,,google now just open google search with text ..send email etc...So how to send emails with voice?
Tnx

In fact for me works only google search with voice and weather card.

have you tried saying like "email jenny" (replace jenny with a name of your contacts) then wait and it should ask you to speak the message. it works for me.

Yep but nothing.Like i said google now works for me just like voice search.If i said Barak Obama..no pictures and informations just normal google page with links.
Damn.

Inputs setings..where?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

There are 2 locations I changed the language:
1. Go to system settings > Language and Input > Language > choose English US
2. When in Google Now press Menu > Settings > Voice > Language > choose English US

Try AIVC (Alice) from google play its free it works exactly the same as s voice but I think its much better it does what your after and sends emails or sms or makes calls sets alarms checks weather etc all by your voice.
Just install it and double tap the home key to activate.
Anygood?

Voice search, wrong location

Hey XDA
I'm located in Denmark, and i'm a great fan of the voice search thing.
However, when i ask about weather, it always comes up with the weather in Washington, unless i ask specific for Denmark (which is quite large)
Imo it should just give me weather for my current location..
Anyone know how to change this?

Perhaps a silly question : Is your GPS on?

Try going to settings, then Privacy and Accounts, and make sure the "search on Google.com" box is unchecked. This way your local Google site will be used instead. Worked for me

Does JB replace S Voice with Google Now when you upgrade???

Asking all the people who are running the early builds or anyone who scored an official?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda premium
No. It doesn't replace it. You get Google Now still. And the voice for S Voice changes. More humanly. But still not as real sounding as Google Now. I re mapped my home button to launch Google Now because S Voice has always been incredibly slow and not that great IMO

All you have to do is hold the menu soft key to launch Google Now.

Yeah. But I wanted the feel of S Voice (one of the only good things about it), with the brain of Google Now, you know?
I wonder why Samsung is still trying to push S Voice so hard when Google's own software is vastly better the S Voice. I kinda would have preferred if it was taken out completely.

Not hard, considering Siri is a dumb broad..
I can't think of a single possible reason one would choose S Voice over Google Now. It's just terrible. Sure, being able to control the phone with your voice is a neat feature. But it's useless. I can launch any app on my phone faster than you can get S Voice to do it. Cool + impractical = useless.
I suggest keeping both S Voice and Google Now. On Jelly Bean, you'll be getting Google Now which is an addition for voice prompts. S Voice is mostly used to control the phone and launching commands whereas Google Now is great for searching.
S Voice = Commands, Launches (EX. Text John Smith Where are you?)
Google Now = Searches (EX. What is tomorrow's weather in Los Angeles?)
Both have their PROS and CONS.

You need Voice Search in order to use voice command.

I don't have "Google voice " as an input option under Settings-> language & input.
I added a new keyboard (Go keyboard" ) and the mic is there and i was able to use it. So i assume that the ICS Keyboard is broken.
Here are the more details:
the keyboard that is included in JMT9 by default is "ICS Keyboard v 2.0.1" and i could not get the mic to show up on it.
The GO keyboard has the mic and it's working fine.
the "ICS keyboard " by johntanmi ( free version ) has the mic but it's not working.
GO keyboard is a bit too much for me . looking for something more streamlined. Any suggestions are welcomed.

[Q] Offline Speech Recognition

Hi all,
Is there any way of setting up offline speech recognition on the One V? I am using Pacman, and the option to download the pack is not on Google Now's menu as it should be.
There's no need to "download" the voice recognition pack. You just need jellybean, voila! You have offline voice recognition. Just tap the mic button on the keyboard and you are good to go...

Unable to get Google voice to work

I've used Google voice for years, but last week I accidentally set up the AT&T voicemail password and since then I can't get Google voice to take over again.
Would I need to contact AT&T about disabling their voicemail service?

Thanks a bunch! I had the same problem and this fixed it right up.
Alternatively (although not as easy), you can go into the Call settings, Additional settings, and then the Call forwarding settings and set up the Google Voice number there.
