Help Voice Cmd for Apps? Where is this feature in Jelly Bean?

I am trying to figure out where voice cmd for apps is located in the Jelly Bean OS. I saw a video on Youtube with the Galaxy, where this feature was shown. It gives the ability to give voice commands to the phone when certain apps are running, to cause it to do certain behavior. Example: Say 'Snooze' when the alarm is going off, or 'Cheese' when the camera is on to take a picture.

Anyone know if this feature was dropped in Jelly Bean. I am not finding it. According to the video, it was under settings, input and language. Any help appreciated.
 
I'm not sure but these features may have been enabled automatically in Jelly Bean. I noticed that when I went to my camera, I was able to say the voice commands to take the picture without having to enable anything. Can't say if that's the case with the alarm though.
 
i have just setup a default widget which gives me the settings for Direct call, Smart Stay, Voice cmd for apps and S Beam. Its a simple widget where u can turn features on and off on the fly.

You need to open the S Voice app, hit the menu key and click on settings. Why they moved this settings menu out of the dedicated settings list is beyond me, but that's where I finally found it.

it's pretty dumb how they hid it in s-voice cause as soon as your get JB, you turn S-voice off

How did you set up that widget? I just got the phone and semi new to andriod.
 
long press the home screen click on widgets in the top menu and scroll to "Smart Switch" then press on it and select which home screen you want it on.
 
I've tried everything on the forums and still no voice cmd for app. :mad:
I've only had my S3 for 2 months and I am new to Android!

My phone does not have "Voice cmd for app" button.
It also does NOT have "Smart Switch" widget??

In Laguages and input there is
Language (English)
Keyboards and input methods
"Speech" section;
voice recognizer (Samsung powered by Vlingo)
voice search
Text-to-speech output
Mouse/trackpad
pointer speed

That's all there is!

Opening S Voice settings gives me this:
General
Language
Open via the home key
use location data
hide offensive words

VOICE CONTROL
voice control (turn on)

CALL
Auto-start speaker (checked)

MESSAGE

set wake-up commands (5 options you can set)

HEADSET MODE

NAVIGATE

SOCIAL SETTINGS

What I DID find is this:
On home screen press menu>settings>Language and input>Speech>VOICE SEARCH

Here is where you touch VOICE SEARCH and THEN VOICE CONTROL option and a screen comes up with the following:
Incoming calls (checked)
Alarm
CAMERA (checked) !!!!
Music (checked)

Apparently, VOICE CONTROL replaces VOICE CMD FOR APPS??

That's how I found it!!
The camera now works with voice commands!!

You can ALSO get this by going to the VOICE CONTROL in S Voice and Hard touching it and the same widow pops up!

Hope this helps someone!

HELP me with this one someone!

I STILL don't know about the widget that has

Direct Call/Smart Stay/Voice cmd for apps/S Beam

How do I find the "Smart Switch" widget??
As far as I can tell it is not on my phone!

Anybody?
