If you mean voice recognition then yes Android has had this feature since day 1 however if you mean personal assistant then no, you will need to download an App from the PlayStore.
using the google widget mike, the my hox will respond to commands such as call and text to contacts already in the system (i admit i haven't tried it with anyone not in my contacts list). if you say go to or open, it will bring up a menu of choices, some of which are mind boggling. the call function responds very quickly, however, and seems to be quite efficient.
Not tested it? Since i switched from iphone to HOX I have been nothing but disappointed in the voice control. The headset button long press is non existent?
The headset is supposed to be a handsfree device!!! So why can't you hold the button and make a call?
If I met the HTC exec that thought it was a good idea to disable that feature I'd beat him to a pulp - and yes i have read that they chose to disable it!!!
I don't want a third party app. I don't want a bluetooth headset.
I want to use the phone like I have used every other iphone or HTC I have owned before!
Now if people are saying their headphones button works then taking mine back to shop.
This is such a simple feature, why disable it? It feels like the they took away my civil rights the retards.
Stick to iPhone if you want SIRI..
For me, I used Speaktoit Assistant to help me arrange things..If you don't wanna use third party app, don't use it..i don't have any better words..

I don't want Siri - i just want working voice dialling without having to go and buy a blue-tooth headset which I constantly need to charge.
I actively support third party apps - but this is something that should be smartphone users god given right! A simple voice dial!!!!
If someone has a confirmed app that works with HOX then I will buy it!
Whats wrong with google search if you just want voice dialling or sending a tex..
all of android phone have voice command.But it doesnt looks like siri.you can try it when write a message.Just say something.Your phone can write it auto
Why do people not get it?
Ok this is the scenario-
You are walking down the street, on your bike or in the car. You need to make a call - you long-press the headset button and you hear a beep. You say the name and type of phone you want to call either mobile or office etc and away you go.
How hard is this to understand - its called hands free dialling. Iphones have done this from day 1 and my htc Desire HD could do this but not the amazing One X?????
And for the last time I don't want bloody siri. I just want to voice dial. How hard can it be????????????????????
I don't want to see the phone or have to touch it. Cyberon voice commander almost does this but it wakes the phone up to do it. So then I have to take the phone out of my pocket and lock the screen again. Or better yet, the call gets ended because its in my pocket and the wrong button gets pressed.
Am I really the only person out there that wants to make a handfree - legal when driving - call???? :crying:
Hello, when you open the phone keyboard you have a microphone.
Touch it and say the name of the person you want to call ...
That will do what you need, i think.
Just don't know how to do that on "one click", and the microphone button is quite small ...
Really? That kind of makes no sense as I don't want to have to touch my phone.
In the UK you get fined and 3 points on your driving license for using your phone when driving unless you are using a proper hands free kit.
This is the sort of thing that will always keep android in second place - no class!!

In france, it's the same. Law is quite severe with the "hand used phones in car" here too ( 4 points and 90 € ).
But, from here, if the phone is on a "hard" support linked to the dashboard or the windshield,
it won't be considered as a illegal use of phone in a car. Lot of persons looks to ignore that ...
Don't know how it is in UK but there is a chance it is the same as here ...
The only systems i know that don't need any "touch action" are the embedded systems in the cars,
like parrot systems or car brand "stock" systems and to be honest i think there is still a "call button" ...
On a phone, you will always have to touch it to activate the voice recognition.
For understandable battery lifetime reason, the phone won't stay alert on microphone unless you make an app or an action that do so.
For example TapTapTap activates the proximity sensor permanently to unlock the phone by a movement on the proximity sensor.
That app surely drains the battery even in sleep mode ...
And how do you won't call somebody by inadvertency if voice recognition is working "alone" ?
You will need a shutdown "voice call" button ... and so need to touch your phone
PS : I like to touch my HOX as much as possible, so sweet screen
Just put the latest icey Jelly bean 4.1.1 and surprise surprise the voice dialing works on the headset.
Obviously htc have seriously messed with the phone and ruined the voice dialing. At last I can keep my phone and stop regretting not getting an iphone.
Go Android!!!!!

Is it true that the HTC One X+ (or any HTC One phone) ? We know how to use the microphone and the voice search to do voice calling, but the main issue is we want to be able to use a bluetooth earpiece with mic to make a call. My husband rides a motorcycle and wears his headset to pickup incoming calls, but can't tell the phone through the earpiece to call someone. He has to pull over to the side of the road and use the voice commands on the phone. Is there a third-party application that we can use to allow him to tell the phone to call or text someone from the bluetooth head piece (in this case the motorola oasis)??? Is Android or HTC fixing this?
Has anyone else updated their phone past 5.0 and their watch past 5.0 only to find the thing next to useless now? Let me explain.
In 4.x I could have my phone set to silent while my watch would subtly vibrate for notifications, great for at work or anywhere you don't want the loud vibrate of your phone going off but still want to be notified of things.
After updating my Moto X to 5.x and my Moto 360 to 5.x the notification setting on the watch reflects whatever the setting is on the device. Why in the Hell would this be desired functionality? It would be one thing if the Moto X could be told to be in All Notifications mode (not Priority or None) and have vibrate turned off, but sadly theres NO option to disable vibrate.
If I have the Moto X set to All but the volume all the way down, it and my watch will vibrate for every notification.
If I have the Moto X set to All and Android Wear set to "silence connected Android" it functions just like the above.
If I have the Moto X set to Priority, same thing, both it and my watch vibrate for every notification.
If I have the Moto X set to None then both my phone and watch never notify me of anything.
Is there any way at all to have my phone be SILENT, completely silent, and have the watch vibrate?
Does this drive anyone else crazy?

Because they took away one of the main features? Notifications on your wrist while your phone is silent.

For me, in the Android Wear app, click the gear icon, and enable the "Mute phone alerts & calls" checkbox.
"Mute calls and notifications on this phone while it's connected to your watch."

There should be a quick toggle in our notification shades for a setting like this......
Mod developers... get to work!
*please*
My phone is on silent all the time with notification muted while connected to the watch. My watch tickles my wrist and my phone does nothing. Maybe you missed something
In the wear app, gear, toggle "Mute phone alerts & calls" (mute calls and notifications on this phone while it's connected to your watch)
Then priority or all only control what buzzes you, not the volume.
@thebobmannh pointed this out above
Can somebody help me on doing that on v5.0?
Like 4.3 or 4.4, I just want to silent my phone completely and vibrate mode on my Moto 360?
I know it has Moto Voice, but it is not as fast nor accurate, especially in noisy environments.
It doesn't, I setup my Moto Voice phrase to be Ok Google and it works perfectly fine..
I cannot get "Ok Google" to activate the Google Assistance after upgrading to PIE.
I have even tried to retrain the voice but It never hears me "Ok Google" to complete the process.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Just a thought but make sure microphone permission is checked for the Google app. Don't know how it would get unchecked without you knowing though.

Does anyone know how to make the Assistant do the chime when it starts listening? Not a single result of my searching has worked. The most promising says enable "Switch Access" which doesn't seem to be present on our devices.
I really need this so I know when my phone hears me while driving - half the time the "Ok Google" command isn't heard and I have to say it a second or third time. Obviously I'm not looking at the screen so an audio queue is needed.
