We may have to wait another year for Verizon to switch over to VoLTE services (voice-over-LTE), but a new partnership with Gameloft will allow gamers to voice chat over Big Red’s next-gen data network all they want. The publisher announced earlier in the month that the ability to talk smack to your opponent in-game over [...]

Google has extended their offer free domestic calls within the US and Canada through 2012, a kind holiday gesture to Google Voice users in North America (excluding Mexico). The catch? You will have to place the calls via Google Voice and Gmail, excluding Android users wishing to make calls from their mobile device. It’s still [...]

A few weeks ago I told you guys about a hands-free, voice-to-text app in the Android Market — Sonalight Text by Voice. This is the only app I’ve found that allows for true, hands-free SMS messaging while also speaking your incoming SMS (and Google Voice) messages. Naturally, this is most useful while driving and when [...]

I’m just going to lay it out here. Despite my suffering from narcolepsy, I do a lot of driving. And since I’m always running late, I tend to get on the road 1st, before sending texts to friends (while stopped at red lights) that I’m on my way. I’ve tried using Google’s Voice Search actions [...]

The videos were no doubt incited from all the attention Apple’s Siri has been receiving lately and showcase a few experiments conducted by a few of Google’s Aussie engineers.

With today’s announcement of the already outdated iPhone 4S (har-har), I got to thinking about their “revolutionary” new voice recognition service, Siri. Seems Apple-fanboys everywhere think it’s the bee’s knees, believing it could change the way users interact with their smartphones forever. Well, there’s just one thing — Android has featured voice actions for a [...]

If contract free is the only way you like to roll, wireless provider Net10 is offering up a pair of LG Android devices for their $ 50 unlimited service. The LG Optimus Q and LG Optimus Net will be hitting Net10 in the coming days and if you’re interested, you can sign up to be [...]

We won’t dwell on why it took so long for it to happen, but through an update last week the Google team quietly pushed out a Honeycomb-ready update to Google Voice. We didn’t notice tablet support when we initially reported on the update, which included a few bug fixes but no noticeably major additions. But [...]

Looks like this dark, ugly chapter in the Nexus S novel is finally coming to an end. The voice search bug we first reported on (that would erroneously activate the application intermittently while the user is using other apps) frustrated a lot of users, but Google finally promised a fix would be here soon. Well, [...]
