When Jelly Bean version 4.1.2 was made available for AT&T customers April 10, 2013, Voice Command/Voice Talk (Hi Galaxy) was removed. While there are several similar programs available on Google’s Play Store such as Assistant, Skyvi, Robin, Dragon, etc., in my opinion, none are as good, even though Dragon is supposed to be the replacement for Vlingo, maker of Voice Command/Voice Talk.

A word of caution about one application called Sara – Siri’s Funny Friend. Besides not being a good application, it downloads more than just a voice application and uses your GPS location to advertise various adult services available.

My mistake.

If Samsung had wanted to buy a retroactive license, that’d be quite the chunk of money to shell out.

And, so much for Android being open source.
