Voice search not working

Amfibius · 27th June 2011, 12:32 PM

Has anyone managed to get Voice Actions to work? When I start the Voice Search app and say "Send Text to ABC" it instead opens Google and shows a search for "Send Text to ABC" instead of actually starting the SMS app and sending the text! Only some commands work, e.g. Navigate.

I am running a Motorola Atrix on 2.2.

After a lot of googling, I have it figured out. You need to have Google Voice installed to get all the functions. Unfortunately, no Google Voice in Australia.

My Atrix DOES come with another voice command app, but it is vastly inferior to Google Voice Command. The recognition and speed of Google Voice Command is simple awesome. The one that comes with the Atrix is less so.
