I am trying to use Google's texting voice command. Everywhere I see that I should say something like "Send text to Mom hey can you buy milk question mark"
and it should send my mom a text saying "Hey can you buy milk?"

But instead whenever I try this it initiates a text message with no recipient saying "To Mom hey can you buy milk?"

Why is this happening?

The exact syntax when trying to create a voice dictated text is as follows:

"Send Text to David Barrett; Did you complete that sales document Question Mark"?


That should then bring up a screen (in 4.X) that lists everything you just said as well as the contact's details and you can press send or confirm send via voice.

Hope that helps!

Yes but as I mentioned, I have been using that syntax, and using your example it would bring up screen with no recipient, saying "to David Barrett; Did you complete that sales document?"

The To: field is left blank, and the 'to david barrett' is listed in the body instead, even though those words should have been used to determine the recipient.
