I have a Jawbone Icon bluetooth that worked great with my old Blackberry voice dialing. Now with my Android (Motorola Electrify M), it is horrible at voice recognition. Almost useless. I can say numbers and it works fine, but it just won't accept names, always mis-hearing. Is this typical for Android? Any suggestions? I need something hands free! Thanks.

Some voice dialing apps are better than others. The one that came with the Droid X was great because you could train it.
S-voice is ok, but not great, and google search is good, but takes too long with the confirmation and explaining how to use it.
As for it not understanding names, I've learned that most of them have trouble with less than "normal" names, but if you give that contact a nickname and use that for voice dialing, it works better.

Unfortunately, that option depends on the phone.
Wow, last week, I think voice dial was upgraded automatically. I had been using manual voice dial (on the phone) or saying numbers I could recall. But then I noticed it seemed different, I tried using it by name, and voila, now it works like a charm. Do I thank Google for fixing it?
