I'm English, but a southerner with a fairly RP accent, and using voice recognition for Google searching is pretty accurate for me. Unfortunately this sounds like it's an accent thing.
I know Google offer their 411 directory voice service in the US, apparently one of the main benefits of this for them is that they can capture a huge amount of speech and use ...

Tap on it to expand it out, then select:
“com.google.android.voicesearch.RecognitionActivity”
but i found ...

If the contact is synced to your Google account, you should be able to re-name it to anything you wish. The easiest way is to do it via the web:
Go to https://gmail.com and login with your Google account.
On the upper left click on "Gmail" and select "Contacts".
Locate and click on the contact in question.
Click on their name, make any edits necessary, ...

Android's built-in voice-to-text doesnt support new lines. I've heard that flext9's ( based on nuance's excellent dragon voice to text engine) does, however. You might try that, I haven't used it personally so I can't speak to it's efficacy. Ymmv. Etc.

Voice Search is the name of the voice interaction app created by Google. It allows you to search your phone and the web using your voice.
Voice Actions is a specific feature of the Voice Search app that allows you to perform actions on your phone using your voice (such as calling someone, launching your music player, getting directions, etc). Voice Search ...

Take a look at the app Tasker. Also the free app Llama may also be able to do this.
Tasker and Llama automate tasks on your phone. So you can have them say IF this condition (car charger plugged in) THEN do something (activate SVoice).

Okay, I figured out how to set the good ol' Voice Commands app as the default voice commands interface. It has to be done while not connected to a hands free device via Bluetooth.
Tap into the Phone app
Tap the Phone app's microphone icon
In my case a prompt appeared asking me to select the default app to handle voice commands. Thereafter, it's used ...

I wanted to do the same thing but the long press feature seems to be locked down by Google. My work around was to install Headset Button Controller and bind three button presses in a row to voice search which works great. There is a trial version but I was happy to pay a few Euro for the feature.
Incidentally, the app also fixed the headset button not ...

I'm not sure if this is true for other phones listed above, but for The Galaxy Note II, I had to make sure S-Voice was disabled (it says Voice Dialer on the first post).
Also, if you have downloaded bluetooth launcher you probably already tried:
"Google Search" and then selected "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity"
and was still ...

The locale of the app is based on the system wide locale, AFAIK, there is no way of setting each application to use a specific language regardless of how the system wide locale is set.
That is, the developers of such applications have taken for granted that, if the system wide locale is set, then the Android run-time will select the appropriate locale for ...

I am in Canada and had the same problem with it not talking back to me on my GS2. Volume is up and setting is turned to always on. I changed the language/input setting on my phone from english canada to english australia and now it works. Plus my phone has a sexy auzzie voice now. Tried it on English US and it didn't work either.

The setting should still exist, it's just a little bit more awkward to get to. The easiest way is to hit the microphone icon on the search widget (though I think anywhere it appears will work) to bring up the voice action dialog. There's a wrench in the top right of that dialog that opens the settings:
Tap that to open the settings page, which should have ...

Do you mean the Google Voice Search?
If so, I think it is only available on selected countries.
Here on Brazil, it was unavailable until some weeks ago, when it was released on Android Market.
This page shows where it is available: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=170820

You can spell out words with the voice input, but it puts spaces between each letter. I can't see there being a feature to support this as saying your password out loud would defeat the point of having a password.
Now if you follow the "pass-phrase" model, where your password is something like "i walk on the beach to relax", then it may work. but again, I ...
