For barking commands and short responses to texts, it's top notch with excellent recognition and easily more functional than anything I've used on android or Siri. It's not so great on dictating emails, as there's no way to add punctuation from what I can tell. Siri is the best here, but personally I can't see many circumstances where I'd be dictating an email versus tapping it out. Personally, I'm loving the ability for developers to plug into the speech API. Being able to tell Hey DJ to "surprise me" by playing a random track, or Cocktail Flow to give me a specific drink by saying "Cocktail Flow" and then the name of the drink is truly useful. I'm just waiting for someone to come up with an app called remind me that would make reminders similar to what's on iOS and Android.
Really? I never used it much on WP7. Didn't know!Its done this since Windows Phone 7, I think its funny
Do you enunciate properly?The voice recognition on my L920 is very bad, probably gets in the region of 90% of words wrong when trying to do even short replies to texts.
How do you guys say it's accurate. Am I missing something?

Yes. I wonder, how are you using it in the car? I used to use a cable to connect it to the aux input of my car stereo to play music or podcasts. The down side of this is that when a cable is plugged into the headphone jack, it looks to the jack for mic input as well as audio output. If I wanted to speak something, I had to unplug the aux cable, as if I didn't, it would tell me it didn't hear anything. Is it possible this is how you're using your phone in the car? I switched and got a Logitech BT audio receiver (not the hands free, but just the audio, because my car already has the hands free profile). Now my phone connects to the stereo via BT for commands, and to the Logitech (plugged into the car's aux input) for music/podcast streaming. Works great.Are you referring to the voice command screen you get when you hold down the home button? When I'm at home and it's quiet, it works great. But the couple of times I've tried to use it in the car it just says it didn't hear anything. Are there settings I can use to improve it?
But Americans don't have an accent. :wink:Well I've found the accuracy to be OK, but it helps if I put on an American accent. As far as features go, its certainly lacking but I never use Tell me anyway so I don't think I would even with good features.
Old thread, I know, but I've never had a voice recognition phone before and it works very well on my Nokia 521. I love it when I am driving and I get a text message. The voice pops up and asks me if I want it to read the message. I say "yes," and it does. Then, it asks me if I want to reply. I say, "Yes" again and do. When it reads it back and prompts me to send I do and off it goes. All hands free. Since it reads everything back, if it does pick something up wrong, I get a chance to correct before I send.
My voice recognition is still c#@p, probably only gets 10% of words right. I wonder if this handset has microphone problems?
