Help Replacement Voice Dialer

I have just gotten this phone and am very aggravated by the Voice Dialer. I use a blutooth headset, and use that because I work outside and my hands are usually sweaty or wet. The issue is that it's awful. It hardly ever hears me correctly, and without any warning it calls the wrong person! Very annoying at 7 in the morning, or 10 at night when you start dialing random people.
I tried a different method, saying "open contacts" and it still dials random people.

The Google Voice App understands me perfectly when I use it for texting or email. Why can't this Voice Dialer?

Is there a way to replace the Voice Dialer with something better?
Or is there a way to force it to confirm who I want to call?

I'd appreciate any help to this. I figured this phone would be better than my old Motorola's Voice Dialer (it couldn't even understand "yes" half the time), but boy was I wrong.
