MORE than *USELESS*? Yes. Since the updates, Micto Voice had quit working - no longer responds. There is a bright, shiney App icon. It has a little notification bubble on it. Touch it and a tiny "Just a second..." shows up, then disappears - and nothing seems to have happened. Literally. It still doesn't respond. So: not working, no way to open the interface/settings, indicates "something", and can't see what.
installed, froze phone. now it says it's installed at play store but not on phone. reset everything tried again twice, now i get a phony display screen but no app. there seems to be no information anywhere that is helpful. wasted an hour. first version was messing with Google functionality, beta doesn't seem to even exist. turning off feature again.
Moto Voice from original Moto X was the only reason why I got a Motorola Phone again. I was expecting the same functionality. What a disappointment that was. All of the useful functionality is gone, and all that is left is a useless mess. Google's software is far inferior to that from the original Moto X too. I simply disabled both now and see no reason to make my next phone a Moto.
This could be a very useful feature due to it having more control over the phone than Google Assistant. Instead, Moto removed the ability to specify a wake word which Im sure has no reasonable explanation other than Moto using it for advertising. "Hello moto" sounds ridiculous and doesn't roll off the tongue so this feature is rendered useless for myself and many others. Chalk this up as yet another example of Moto getting worse, not better like other companies.
It worked great on my last Motorola Turbo 2 Droid but pretty much useless on my new Moto Z3. It reads my messages clearly but totally runs amuck by responding to all my messages with gibberish. This is the case even if I remain silent. Very embarrassing and frustrating. I will probably have to disable it altogether if I can't find and fix this bug.
I cannot use OK Google with this app installed. The microphone icon no longer appears on my screen like it used to do, so I cannot tap it and give a command. When I try to set up Ok Google, it tells me that Moto Voice is in control. So now I have no proper voice controls on my phone's. If I try to uninstall it I cannot. That's why it's a 1star application.
Great idea, poor execution. What I really wanted this app for was hands free texting while driving. It only worked very sporadically when I first got the phone and after updating to Android 9.0 it stopped working altogether. Very disappointing.
Unfortunately, the speech recognition is spotty, at best. I have a ridiculously difficult time opening this app and using is as a stand alone voice recorder, it just takes forever to load, and is unresponive often.
My phone kept randomly opening this app at sometimes very inopportune times. I finally decided i needed to set this up to see if it would stop. It will not recognize my voice. Then I came here and see that almost every review is negative.... although it used to be a great app. Yet not one reply from the developers. I put a review on another app and the developer immediately tried to help. Yet here it's only crickets. My first Motorola phone since the Incredible and I am kinda disappointed.
Cuts off before I'm finished talking. If i pause while talking, Beta stops listening and goes into search mode mid sentence. There doesn't seem to be a way to adjust this. If there is a way, it's not at all straight-forward.
They removed the custom launch phrase (one of my biggest reasons for using the Moto Z phones) and the functionality that was in the earlier versions is totally gone. It's a clunky mess that doesn't work more often than it does.
Dear Motorola Development Team, please bring back the previous version of Moto Voice (version 09.17.0.0.0.19.0) which I currently use on my Moto X4 device (Amazon Prime Exclusive variant). The previous version would work instantaneously upon saying "Show me" without going to Moto settings. It would go directly into any app from the lock screen, all you needed to say was "Show me" than your command avoiding/bypassing Moto settings completely. Please bring back the previous version of Moto Voice.
Besides the confusion from moto actions and voice switching directly to Google voice and it. still cannot order me a pizza or.provide other services from across the room. It is good for voice recognition; if it was capable of providing services via voice control completely hands free which would provide revenue more so than devices or apps and all the major work is already done. I cant see much but tying what you already have together to provide an unknown number of services and revenue
Latest version has an extremely annoying bug. If you use voice to call someone it defaults to speakerphone. After that all incoming and outgoing calls default to speakerphone. It persists until reboot.
it's an amazing app and it works really well but the problem is it'll mistake random words for the show me commands and open random apps at random times. This is a real issue and it really needs to be fixed. The Moto forms have done nothing to help either.
This current Moto Voice is terrible on my Moto Z3. The one on my moto z works 100x better. this one does not recognize my "Hello Moto" command most of the time in my office. It does recognize "hello moto' at all in my car. When it does is asks about which app to use and both apps are the same app! It asks to use a mobile or home number to send a text. Duh! use the mobile number. It is illegal to touch my phone when driving, now with this piece of junk software, I cannot use my phone when driving since I have to touch it since this voice control software is such a piece of junk.
It needs updating! Certain features work, ex: telling time and weather, but not notifications or the ability to unlock the phone; which I used to be able to do but it no longer allows it.
If this actually worked on my G6 Plus it would be brilliant, but it doesn't 😒 Only relayed texts on 2 very random occasions then resorted to asking if I was home multiple times a day and telling me to go online. Totally frustrating. Uninstalling.
I used to be able to speak my password but now I was told that I need to get the latest phone to enable that feature. I'm disappointed that once I did the system ungrade, the feature is no longer available. If Moto graded their newer phones to be able to say your password, they should provide system updates to all their phones to enable the feature across the board. Phones are expensive and they can't expect everyone to get a new phone every time they launch a new product.
Still in beta and not updated for over a year. Voice recognition is generally quite good but control of apps is poor on Moto g6+. Overall a rather poor application that should have been updated by now if Moto had any intention of doing so.
after updating this beta app, my Moto Z Play device is messed. No sound on calls, notification, music. Only boot sound and after boot, mic & speaker stopped working. figured this after formatting phone twice. Phone worked till I didnt install this update on Default Moto apps. please fix.
Had the zforce droid and updated to thez3 this app doesn't come on when you start driving like the z1 did can't change your phrase name could be 10 miles down the road before if it comes on if at all COME ON MOTO GET I TOGETHER if it's not broke don't fix it!!!
Moto x force voice detection was 100% , whereas in Moto z2force voice is detection is 50-50 hope Moto brings back same level of detection in this Moto voice app too. And how to set this app , how to use the commands shown in this screen shot on play store, only show me commands is available on my voice..
Doesn't even compare to the version on my Z Force Droid. Activation phrase not customizable, can't find contacts in my list, have to manually set timer. Tried to 'retrain' the app numerous times with no joy.
I'm not sure I even use this app, but it actually unlocks my phone lots of times a day. Can I get it to stop doing this or delete the app somehow? It's asking for permissions I don't want to give and it's stuck in a loop. It even unlocks in my pocket without accessing it. Please change this, it's bugging the heck out of me.
It is so sporadic. My old phone worked better. This app works only sometimes, or it echoes itself and is confusing. it's supposed to work when and where it is set up for, but alternatively reads messages aloud when I am shopping which it is not supposed to do. At other times, it doesn't work at all This newer version is horrible. Please update it or fix it. Thanks.
