Re: Voice Calling on an Andriod Phone Anybody?
"Frankly, do not bother with voice access things ever. Nokia had it working back in about 2008, Android/Google still cannot recognise a thing that is said to it in 2020."
I think that's because Google are using a sledge hammer while Nokia used a little toffee hammer. Nokia recognised a few command words and compared a name you spoke with what it found in the phone directory and did all the processing onboard the phone. Google appear to be using their full on "natural speech" cloudy parsing system.
On the other hand, Nokia phones often had "interesting" ideas about the names you tried to voice dial. One colleague had a name with a "gh" in it pronounced as "r" so to get my Nokia to voice dial him I either had to mispronounce the name or spell it phonetically in the phone book. On the gripping hand, Google can't find that name when spelled and pronounced properly either.
Oh, yeah, you're other statement. Voice dialling is good for in the car. Hands free and all that, often legally mandated in some jurisdictions. Luckily, in my case, the bluetooth car interface does voice dialling way better than "Hey Google" :-)
