I bought Choice Dialer for my Sensation about a year ago and it worked great for what I needed it to do. But it doesn't work with ICS and the developer has stated he has no intentions of ever supporting ICS.

Have others found any voice assistants out there that work with ICS and perform two things:

1) bluetooth activation - tap the BT headset to make it spring into action

2) voice confirmation - if I tell it to "call Dave at home" it will respond with "Call Dave at home?" and wait for my response.

Thanks for any suggestions.

+1. No other app on my Sensation on ICS has EVER listened via a bluetooth headset, except for the ripped SVoice. Works great.
You're right, it does seem to listen to voice commands given over bluetooth. That's a good start. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do hands free confirmation. When I set it to never auto-call it simply displays the person's number expecting me to manually touch it to complete the call. I don't trust the "Call if confident" setting.

Here's what I would like to see happen:

me: (tap the headset)
phone: May I help you?
me: call Bob at work
phone: call Mom at work?
me: no
phone: Try again
me: call Bob at work
phone: call Bob at work?
me: yes
phone: Ok, calling
phone: (calls Bob at work)

See? Totally hands free even when a name was interpretted incorrectly at first. That's what Choice Dialer gave me and so my search continues for a replacement.
