Nexus 5 Lollipop.  I've had no issues with voice on this phone with either KitKat or Lollipop. Currently on 5.0, but expect a minor update to 5.0.1 shortly.

I'd suggest limiting support to Jellybean and above.  Anything other than that is on either old phones, or extreme low end. Google had said that to be certified, manufacturers now have to be either on current gen or one rev back for new devices.

That's the problem with being on cutting edge, rather than follow the leader like iPhone!  ;)On Dec 11, 2014 5:58 PM, Peter Vogel via NSRCA-discussion <nsrca-discussion at lists.nsrca.org> wrote:

I'm in the process of building that as we speak but because of the hopelessly fragmented nature of Android devices I'm a little challenged by what capabilities I can/cannot count on to enable the tilt control (Android voice recognition for apps is so buggy as to be almost useless for our purposes here, the only time it comes close to working is in conjunction with a user initiating voice recognition by tapping or touching something)...
