Google Voice Search: "Send Text To" NEVER Works!!

[bluewaterpig]

Lol has anybody else noticed this? If I say something like, "Send text to Kathy hey want to meet for lunch" , EVERY SINGLE TIME it will open a text message, the "To:" will be blank, and it says "Message: To Kathy hey want to meet..."

I just don't understand it. I'm doing exactly what the video shows and it doesn't function correctly.

Try an app called Vlingo , I started using it this week and it is a far better program.

Wow. I never thought that Google could be beaten, but Vlingo is absolutely better than Google Voice Search.

Just got my android phone and the voice search is doing the same thing as mentioned above. It does not put anything in the "to" field so won't work. any other suggestions other than using another app?

Hi

Mine started doing this too and from reading in another thread Gingerbread has fried Google Voice. Off to Vlingo I go...

I just tried it with 3 contacts, worked on all 3. Not rooted. Except I don't get a cell signal at home, so the one I sent to myself hasn't gotten here yet... is there a way to send and receive texts via WFi?

I still have this issue with Voice Search - "Send Text" or "Send Email" always puts the contact name INSIDE the message, and leaves the "To:" field blank.

I've tried Vlingo, but I find it KILLS my battery - like 10% loss an hour!
