S for Switch Voice Pro v2.5.0 apk

Requirements: 4.1 and up

Overview: "Start Google Now with you voice on the Galaxy Note3, S5" - No root necessary

Try FREE version to see if it works you before buying PRO

If you liked v1.0 better (no settings or keep in RAM), it is still available below - Do not install both!

Did you know your Galaxy Note 3 could do always listening voice wake-up similar to the highly advertised "Okay, Google Now" Motorola Touchless Control on the Moto X?

Differences:

#1 You have to say "Hi Galaxy" (while the screen is off)

#2 SVoice will try to service you, which is much less capable (to say the least) than Google Now

While there is no way to fix #1, the more important problem #2 can be solved with my little app. It does a "bait and switch" style intervention whenever S Voice would start, you are redirected to Google Voice Search

Preparations: (see video)

1. install this app S for Switch Voice

2. open it (when asked grant root for quicker switching)

3. click "Configure S Voice" button

4. in S Voice - MENU / Settings

5. enable "Voice wake-up"

6. [optionally enable "Open via the home key"]

7. press BACK, BACK to return to S for Switch Voice

8. activate: ON (upper right)

9. check mark

Usage:

Whenever (and however) you launch S Voice my app will switch to Google Voice Search:

+ Voice wake up (Say "Hi Galaxy" with screen off)

+ Double tap on the Home key (enable "Home key" and adjust sensitivity)

Pro features:

Option to hide notification icon

Stays enabled at the end of the day The free version has a reminder built in, it needs to be re-enabled once every week

Time/battery announce mode: Instead of starting Google Voice Search, you can have the phone announce the time and/or battery level, when you wake it up by saying "Hi Galaxy". This can be convenient when abroad, since without data connection neither S Voice nor Google Voice search could do anything. Select Offline announce mode in Settings, or have it auto enable while offline. Choose what to announce: time, battery or ambient temperature (Note3+S4). I used this mode while skiing, I could just say "Hi Galaxy" (or "Time Galaxy") without even taking the phone out of my pocket.
