[QUOTE=timjamesbrennan;101599]I use voice actions as my primary capture tool. Simply by pressing and holding the magnifying glass icon, the app launches and I say something like " note to self, August 31 going to Jay's for lunch 1pm". Then I press send.

It instantly sends an email to myself with that audio recording so I can process later. It also transcribes the words, but this is very unreliable so I just use the audio attachment. (note: this feature only works for me if I set my location to the US, even though I am British)"

Hello, do you mean the google search widget? Where are you accessing the magnifying glass? I am trying this and using a Galaxy Note 2 with Google Now.

Cheers

Bill
