I think Android has it natively since 2.3 where you can find Voice Voice Input - Voice Recognizer.

Voice search with cantonese input is available from Android 2.3,it only works on the Search bar and within browser search..Not working on text field on other Apps.

=> Single session..the search starts right after the 1st sentence captured

Voice Typing -Continue to add translation till [Done] is pressed or buffer full.. you can take your time to say sentence by sentence,it will keep adding the new sentence .


Voice typing is glued o the ICS Stock Keyboard. Default setting for voice typing is automatic,however there seem to have bug..this automatic setting doesnt understand cantonese or any other language other than English.
Change the Stock Keyboard -Voice typing setting, to manual select a few languages that you like to use Voice Typing

Go to setting\Language&Input\Voice Typing, deselect the default 'automatic' to other languages.

Cantonese ,Yue (Hong Kong ,Traditional ) is for Cantonese voice typing

Are there OTA updates to this in Singapore? I have a friend with a Nexus S bought in USA. It's still on 2.3.6 even though 4.0.3 was released in December and 4.0.4 yesterday. Yet, when she checks for updates, it claims that it's up to date. It has updated once before to 2.3.6 locally, then after that, no more updates.

anyway, i solved the problem i mentioned yest.. but faced a new prob. I encountered error 7.. since like a typical issues..

Same. Managed to upgrade manually to 4.0.3, but encounter error 77 when upgrading to 4.0.4. Seems like the stock recovery is unable to update to 4.0.4.

I manage to update from stock rooted 4.0.3 with CWM Recovery

If you are not rooted and dont want to unlock bootloader..use the recently discovered exploit mempodroid which still able to root without bootloader unlock on 4.0.3..


Observation of 4.0.4 over 4.0.3
=> Much much smoother on UI Navigation and app execution. Tune down animation transition to 0.5x will make the screen update even faster than 2.3.6
