Well I'm glad I'm not the only one failing at this. I tried using it to call my wife for like 15 minutes last night. Not a big time saver when it doesn't work.

I started using it yesterday morning when i first read the article... and i would have to say it is great for quick things, such as call "Bob" but for me, my cars BT interface does a more reliable job of calling the numbers and names i want.

And it has a hard time in searching for stuff on the web, like "How do you get a person from Chicago to speak slow enough for this speach engine to figure out what we are saying... "

But for me, for a quick, "TEXT BOB" "I AM DRIVING, CALL ME IF YOU NEED ME!" has been working really well for me...

If youre having constant issues its probably the fact that you cant talk clear lol

Yea I must admit its at least 95% accurate

I've found even with the BT and my T1 I have say the name phonetically to get it to work. e.g. I say Demory - "Dem-or-ree" but the phone spits back "Dee-more-e"

It doesn't work like that damn video they show.

It works great for me. I have done a bunch of texts and phone calls and every time its been right on the money and no errors. I like it.

Accurate? Told it to play shadows fall and it dialed crimeline...wtf? Told it to call mom on mobile and it dialed Mom and Pops restaurant in toledo, ohio, but I'm in central florida. Worthless if you ask me.

I installed the new Voice Actions on a stock Froyo Evo and did a couple of test runs to Google Maps and Navigation. Now the phone is in continuous vibrate mode. Deleting the voice action update didn't help. Taking the battery out didn't help. Any advice, other than a hard reset?

If you took batt out and it still has a problem, the only recoarse is to reset. This app (update) is horrible. I'm glad that for some it works flawless but for me, I'd rather be stung on the bunghole by a wasp then use this app. Just tried it again....told it to call dad mobile and it brought up a call dad webpage. Then told it to call/dial voicemail and it dialed valet services of governmental projects in toronto, canada....where's the wasp?
