Question Voice tags for contacts

I am looking for an app that would enable me to dial contacts or do actions on my Android phone by voice. The standard Android voice recognition is unacceptable because I am not from an English speaking country.
My old phone had this feature where I could record a "voice command" for any of my contacts and only those would be considered when voice dialing. This also enabled for much more variance in speaking so I suppose it would be helpful for English speaking users too.
Is there any app that would provide this functionality? Or is somebody working on one?

I am in a similar situation, a number of my family have non-English names and Android cannot recognise them. I've looked everywhere and cannot find one either. Everyone seems to rely on voice recognition which is, frankly, crap for anything remotely non-standard in language.

XDA is about developing and is for developers. Any user that recognises that will gain the most benefit from this site


 
This is and always will be a site for developers, pure and simple. Without them we are nothing, without them there would be no reason for XDA Developers to exist; we should never ever forget that. Without them this place would not be called XDA-Developers but something else, e.g Mobile Phone User Support Services For Ungrateful Nerds.

To make the Android voice recognition work, go to Settings>Voice Input & Output>Language>English (US). You'll be able to use all the voice commands. I don't know how well voice dialing will work for you though. It works for me many times with Indian names, but also fails a lot. Try Vlingo too, it might work better.
