control kindle fire by voice

I figured out how to control your kindle fire by voice. Check out my blog: kindlefireboss.blogspot.com

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS FROM SITE:

Yeah, you read right. Control your kindle fire by voice. All you need is Google Voice Search . Just install Voice Search and start controlling your kindle fire by voice. NOTE: This requires an external mic. I used the apple ear phone and mic included with the iPhone but any will work. Download link below Link: http://www.4shared.com/android/Oq2GWqd7/1319770780.html

I just want to add that I hear that it has to be a three banded microphone (the plug has 3 bands) usually a combo headset type thing. if i remember correctly. in other words not all mics will work

I don't think it can work.
Because Kindle fire have no microphone.

Wait for the second generation Kindle fire, or other product.
Amazon is not a device manufacture.

I have a Apple mic and earphone I use with my kindle. It works perfect. You can get one from amazon or an Apple retail store.

I tried it With a mic that i made with a transistor,but it didnt work

shravbits · Mar 14, 2012

Skype cant detect the mic for some reason. I have tried too, but it just cant tell its plugged in.

shravbits · Mar 14, 2012

Did the mic you made work well with other devices?

Joker2212 · Mar 14, 2012

Doesn't recognize my mic either =\

shravbits · Mar 14, 2012

Did you try with a diff mic?

grvthang · Mar 14, 2012

You need to be rooted to install Google Voice Search, right?

shravbits · Mar 14, 2012

It works even without rooting.

grvthang · Mar 14, 2012

I was the person on this forum who first used a Mic with the Fire. I remeber trying to install Voice Search, and it not installing bc I wasn't rooted. Am I remebering incorrectly?

I just tried it again, and now I remember - Google Voice Search force closes when I open it. I went through this several months ago, when I found that a mic works on the Fire for audio recordings. As far as I know, so far no one has been successful in using Google Voice or Skype on the Fire for phone calls.

You're the first person I'm hearing who says that they got Voice Search to work. I'm not rooted, and as I said, Voice search crashes when I open it. Up to now, I haven't rooted because I haven't found any additional functionality that rooting the Fire gives you that I would like to have. This might make me change my mind.

Anyone else try it?

The damnedest thing happened: I got up this morning and noticed that the 1mobile app store I have installed showed that there was an update available for Google Voice Search. Just for the hell of it, I installed it and now the voice search works! This is great! Now I have to see how I can install a keyboard with a voice-to-text button (I'm not rooted, remember. I'd like to stay that way if I can).

Meanwhile, for those of you wondering about which microphones to use, you can do this - either use on of these "button" style mics:

or, these type of headset/mic combos which also work on iphones and ipads:

Did you download the voice search from my blog? All the other versions crash.

Great that voice search finally works for you, but I would like to point out that the apple headset that you have linked is a knock off. Here are the genuine headsets
