Sonalight Text by Voice

I keep getting "error try again" when I say my contact's name. The screen says I have a data connection error but data works fine in other apps. This used to work on the same phone a year ago. Sorry to give you guys a poor rating, but it's not working anymore. When it's fixed I'll give you a great rating :-)

Well the app is nice in the sense that it turns itself on as soon as I connect it to my car's Bluetooth audio. It'd be even nicer if it recognized ANYTHING I said when asking me who I'd like to text. Not uncommon names, too, like John. It just says there's an error and asks me to try again. Continually.

I use to like this app a lot and now it won't recognize my voice commands at all. Have uninstalled, cleaned and reinstalled but still just gives "Error" trying to understand my plain english voice. Also, extremely slow to respond when tapping the buttons.

Has anyone heard from the developer on the voice recognition problems with this app? The website says they will reply right away. I have been waiting to hear anything for 2 weeks now. Their chat function constantly says no one is available! What a way to run a business. I guess I'm looking for a new handsfree SMS app. I have installed the new version of this application and like the automatic reading of the text messages. I have it set to use bluetooth so it turns down the music reads the message and asks if I want to reply. I have been unable to get the application to recognize my response. I have tried in the car, at home in complete silence and still have no luck. Willie

I downloaded the app today (Aug 30th, 2014) and opened the app. It said I could say TEXT BY VOICE or tap on the screen to send a text. So I did. It then asked who I would like to text. So I said a name, but it said ERROR. Ok, maybe another name? I asked to send a text to DAD, but again I got an ERROR. I went through my list of contacts and every one of them got an ERROR. What was the point of that? Deleting from my phone immediately.

I have clear diction, Google and Siri understand me perfectly every time, but this thing just gives me a data connection error for everything I say, even "yes" and "no." Great idea if it would just let me use my voice. It did notice when I got a text, but if it won't use what I say, it's a useless app.

That this app does not currently work. It did, and wonderfully, until I "upgraded". Shortly thereafter I got constant data errors and the app was unusable. Please fix or refund your customers. Been weeks now.

Keep getting error data connection problem. No mattet what you do the app wont even recognize the word cancel. If all you care about is hearing text a loud. Then that works other than that its useless.

LOL...everything you read is true. I had such high hopes for this app that hasn't worked after a good 30 minutes of fiddling around! First off...it asks "who would you like to text" 100% of the time I got an error. I even went off wifi and it has been at least "thinking" for at least ten minutes before I just cancelled. Apparently the developer has given up. No responses to the complaints. I would recommend Google remove it from the Market until it is fixed. No point in having a bad app that doesn't work now is there.

Used to be my very favorite app. Now it is useless. All I ever get now is data connection errors. If it does work, your outgoing text can't be anything more than a VERY short sentence. Reading the same on internet. Very disappointing.

I installed this on my S5. When text comes in it asks if u want it read. I say yes every time, and every time it errors out, claiming data connection, and shuts down. Disappointed. Uninstalling. And i AM connected to wifi, so it IS connected.

Etverytime I try to reply to a message it does react to the command. Deleting junk app such a same

This doesn't work at all. I can't even receive a message by saying yes when promoted. It also does not work over Bluetooth car connection.

This app was never 100% reliable, but it worked well enough that I felt safer on the road and connected to those I had to text. Now, it doesn't work at all! What happened? Why can't someone develop a reliable app that will help us all be safer on the road? Definitely an under represented market for apps like this.

The only thing it hears me say is "text by voice". It has yet to recognize any name I say. It doesn't even recognize if I say "cancel". Uninstalling right now.

I've used it since it first came out. Now all I get is connection error.

This used to be the best hands free app out there. Now it just takes up space like a virtual paperweight. Obviously there is no one at the helm anymore. Very sad because there are none out there that are truly hands free.

Won't recognize anything I say. Third app so far promising great performance and still can't find one that actually works

This used to be a useful if not full featured tool. Did it's job well for texting while driving, just needed a little polish. Now it's nothing but data errors and lock ups. Very sad to see this app go to hell like this :( Any chance you could re-release the old, unfixed, working version again?

It speaks text messages, but only lowers the volume if something else is playing, rather than pausing it. Voice commands when replying do not work at all. It just keeps saying the data connection failed.

Worked back in early 2014. After that I get non stop data errors no matter if I'm connected wifi or lte with full strength. This app should be pulled.

says problems with data connections yet wifi and lte are perfect. send sms to develloper no response over 3 weeks. this app is garbage now. too bad

I'm sorry to say this app does not work at all. It just says "Error Data connecion problem." over and over. Developer, if you fix this, I will come back and give this more stars, but for now, it's hopelessly broken.

Only thing it appears to understand is "text by voice". After that names and other commands just result in the response "error, try again". Now going to delete it.

No matter what I said or whom I tried to call, all I got was an annoying computerized British female voice that said error try again ad infinitum I am uninstalling it

Could not voice text anyone. Keeps saying error after speaking who I wanted to text. Audio Breaks up when reading from headphones and when a message does come in and I try to reply the app doesnt hear me
