Google Voice Dialer

Since I got JB, whenever I make a call with my bluetooth headset, a different dialer comes up. It's called Google Dialer. The problem is that I can tell it to call someone, and it never calls who I said. Seems to be useless. Is there a way to either tweak it to make it work properly, ( I can't find anything in the settings ) or is there a way to get rid of it? I'm using the Voice Commands app now, but can't figure out how to make it the default. I have to tap the icon for every call.
 
Use Google now?

I don't think it gives you the option to use Google Now when you hit the button on your BT Headset...only the Google Dialer that the OP is mentioning.

And to OP, I have the same issue....mine never gets what I am saying either...at least the first time. I have about 3 #'s listed under my wife's contact info and it wants me to specify Dial 1, Dial 2, or Dial 3. When I say Dial 1 it says....it doesn't understand or whatever....every once in awhile it does and dials it correctly but most of the time it misses on first try.

My mistake. I misunderstood. I still think Google now could help. I haven't had it miss speech to text yet. I know it's not quite what you guys are looking for but a possible alternative.
