I like the predicitive text on the QWERTY keyboard, the eris feature where alternatives are shown for typed words, presenting an opportunity to choose the correct word. I enjoy using this when doing IMs in Google Talk, for example. This feature seems to be disabled in the default web browser on the eris, in 1.5 before, now in 2.1. The predictive text does not work in the search bar and it does not work in data entry fields in forms displayed by the browser, for example
Can anyone please tell me how one would enable this predictive text input in all apps on the phone? including the search bar for webkit and data entry on web forms?
<see last post for solution>
There is probably a good technical reason for this, like somehow the input method is not known to the web browser application. Perhaps the browser itself is not consulting a system table for availability of this input method at run time. Maybe it only happens at install time? Is there some manual change that could be made to enable this?
I think they disabled it in browser because a lot of websites have names that the predictive text obviously doesnt know and when you type fast and hit space quickly it auto selects words which Id imagine could be quite a pain in the ass online.

Thanks, You are right. I agree as to why they disabled it, but i think the way the feature works, it would really be more benefit to me than a hindrance.
1) Adding a mispelled word or one not in the dictionary is painless, editing this dictionary in the settings is easy too.
2) For activities like retyping stuff (like my email address) in data entry fields in the browser over & over; this would be much better with the ability to spell-check and remember words, especially when accuracy is critical.
I want predictive text in the browser. Why not a voice input option (like in the voice search applet) as well?
Can someone help at least give me the choice, I think these two input methods work very well.
Solved - 2.1 enhanced HTC keyboard, with voice too! - link
This pretty much gives you voice and predictive text wherever you want it without sacrificing anything:
nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/04/add-full-voice-to-text-to-htc-desire/
Followed the "HTC Sense Style Keyboard Instructions"
Instructions were for HTC desire but this worked fine on stock OTA 2.1 Eris, not rooted.
HTC_IME_lo_25.apk is the one that installed okay for me. I was half-asleep at the time and I think the other version did not install right, but you might want to try again.
Enjoy!
Request:
I am looking for an offline version (replacement) of the stock Voice Dialer and Voice Search features.
My situation:
I am not always online with my phone. I have it on a Pageplus plan and not Verizon. My plan only has 50MB of data, so I just leave the data connection off and use WiFi all the time. When I am driving or away from a Wifi spot I can't utilize either feature because they require a live data connection to work. It is very inconvenient to have to turn on data just to voice dial a phone number or voice launch an app. The same thing applies with the keyboard that has the microphone to do 'voice to text'. All these features are linked and require a live data connection.
I have tried a couple market apps that have the voice features, but they require a live data connection also.
Does anyone know of an offline solution to this problem?
Voice interpretation software is too large, therefore its done on a remote server somewhere. Best of luck finding a solution. I hate to say it, but the outlook is bleak.

Rubbish - Microsoft managed it years ago on the WinMo devices and managed to cram in voice dialling, application starts, statuses & even media selection into a 7MB app. I would be more than happy to lose 200MB to an SD card to have this functionality offline and with some of the processing power available in our hands now, I totally refute that theory of the software being too large given that it was done (and very well) over 6 years ago with Microsoft Voice Command 1.6. If they've made Maps now available offline with caching, this same functionality MUST be possible with Voice Actions; even if just limited to a set of commands such as voice dialling, starting applications & selecting media as what synaptyc was referring to.
Yeah this would be very good!!!
i am looking 4 an app like this as well!!
I did find an app that can do basic stuff..
But it can't reply back to you.. ;(;(
It should be pre-installed with your phone!!
Its called voice dialer, it can open apps
and call people and thats about it!!

You can try my app. It works offline. Application is named VoiceButton. You can find it in GooglePlay.
I think this is what you need.
I'm considering loading the CM 10.1 ROM onto an HTC Aria. I was reading in the Aria forum that the voice recognition doesn't work with this ROM. I was wondering what exactly that means. Does just Google's voice recognition not work, or will I be locked out of all voice recognition. The Aria is a really small phone so I want to use the keyboard as little as possible. If I download an app like Utter will that still work? Also, what are some recommendations for keyboards that have voice-to-text buttons on them that don't use the Google voice, or whatever is the default in CM 10.1? Also, is there like a global voice-to-text engine that I could use instead of the default, and just kinda swap it in?
Introduction
The voice recognition API does not allow apps to choose whether they want to use offline voice recognition or not. There's no setting for the user either. Instead, if there's an internet connection, it'll always use the online services.
This module allows you to force offline voice recognition/typing. This is useful if you're using a slow connection, if you're connected to a local network (without internet access,) etc.
What does this module do?
This module can force offline voice recognition for apps that use Google Voice. It'll work if the app uses one of the following:
Voice typing (used by keyboards, e.g. SwiftKey)
Voice recognition (for apps that use RecognizerIntent such as utter!)
It does so by setting a variable that indicates whether a network connection is available or not to false.
Voice commands inside the Google Search app aren't affected. Note that if offline voice recognition doesn't work for you in the first place, this module won't fix that.
Requirements:
Xposed Framework.
Broadcasts:
You can toggle some settings from e.g. Tasker using broadcasts. Just use these action names:
com.germainz.googleofflinevoice.enable - Enables the module.
com.germainz.googleofflinevoice.disable - Disables the module.
com.germainz.googleofflinevoice.enable_voice_ime - Enables the module for voice typing.
com.germainz.googleofflinevoice.disable_voice_ime - Disables the module for voice typing.
Example from the shell:
Code:
am broadcast -a "com.germainz.googleofflinevoice.disable"
Source code:
https://github.com/GermainZ/GoogleOfflineVoice
Download:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.germainz.googleofflinevoice
Changelog:
Code:
[B]1.2.1:[/B] The widget now uses images to indicate the module's state. This should fix text getting cut off on some devices.
[B]1.2:[/B] Fix for the latest Google Search. Revamped blacklist. Added a simple widget to toggle module status (useful to quickly enable/disable GoogleOfflineVoice from e.g. your home screen).
[B]1.1:[/B]
The voice typing setting wasn't working correctly (because of a typo - offline voice typing was never forced.) Also, there was another typo in strings.xml, as a reboot is actually *not* required for the settings to apply.
[B]1.0:[/B] Initial release.

I think the title and description are extremely clear.
Anyway, check this.
EDIT: actually, I don't understand what you want. Regardless, it doesn't seem related to what this mod does so no.
I don't know if I understand this clearly - this will able me to use Google Now voice recognition and Swiftkey voice typing when there's no data connection? But I'll still be able to use it when data is on?

No. On Jelly Bean and higher, you can already use offline voice recognition/typing. That only happens when you're not connected at all, though. You can't force it if you're using a slow connection or if you're connected to a WiFi that's local (no internet access.) This module allows you to do that. I personally use it for SwiftKey and utter! because I find online recognition is too slow - at least with my internet connection.
Good app, was looking for something like this since long.
sent from public phone using coins.
Tried it out anyway. Off-line recognition CAN work on Armv6--had it happen once, just once. Do not know how I got there but the armv7 code stands in the way. So maybe this module could bypass it.
I actually have two Google choices for recognition, one for Google Search (offline) and one for older Voice Search (online). Vlingo also exposes its engine as another working choice. I wish Nuance (they own it now) would expose there Dragon engine. Unfortunately, most apps no longer respect this choice. In fact, only Jeannie works now with the online recognition choice. The voice assistant does not work over KitKat Google Search and launcher.
So I enabled this module. Really did not change much. Jeannie still worked, seemed quicker but very subjective--I assume was still going online. Google Search did not FC but did not accept voice. Next browser's voice input pretended to work, as before. No results. Voice typing also pretended, no results. Dragon's (using Swype) works very well (online).
BTW, the linked kludge is for dictation, using an ICS modded Google Search to somehow retrieve a language file. Did not work for me but I have the file, manually symlinked to its presumably proper place. The poster does not use Google Search, only dictation.

This module can force offline voice recognition, by changing the following, and only for apps that use Google Voice:
Voice typing (used by keyboards, e.g. SwiftKey)
Voice recognition (for apps that use RecognizerIntent such as utter!)
You're unlikely to notice a big difference unless you're using a slow connection or are connected to a WiFi network without an internet connection.
Voice commands through Google Search aren't affected, so your "did not accept voice" isn't related to this module. As I've said, this only affects Google Voice - Dragon and other engines will still behave as before.
If offline voice recognition doesn't work for you in the first place, this module won't fix that.
Can someone coment if this would have significant savings on bandwidth, for people who are trying to keep it under a couple hundred meg cap? For a user who uses heavy dictation.
Update:
Code:
[B]1.1:[/B] The voice typing setting wasn't working correctly (because of a typo - offline voice typing was never forced.)
Also, there was another typo in strings.xml, as a reboot is actually *not* required for the settings to apply.
Sorry

It depends. Offline voice recognition isn't great for dictation unless you have a perfect accent and there's no background noise at all. You'll get unusable results otherwise.
Assuming it works perfectly, though, you'll save quite a lot, yes. Of course, it depends on how much you use it. But as I've said, offline dictation probably won't give you acceptable results, so you'll have to Try It And See™ and decide for yourself (also note that it wasn't working properly till this update.)

Maybe, if it uses Google voice recognition. Try It And See™.
PS. I'm not sure what you mean be "I can't use voice recognition" - if it's failing even with an Internet connection them your problem is elsewhere.
Well @GermainZ, because I was using Google Keyboard too and nothing happens. To be sure, voice recognition works fine with an internet connection.

Voice typing != voice recognition. Google Keyboard should use voice typing, so make sure that setting is enabled. Read the OP for more info.

Ready for a Samsung Galaxy S4 system dump and a chance to play with all of the goodies it contains? The folks over at SamMobile received one and have already begun pulling out apps for you to install. First up is the newest version of S Voice, the Siri-like voice actions application that was first introduced with the Galaxy S3. It’s still powered by Nuance’s Vlingo, so it’s certainly no Google Voice Search. But hey, if you like talking to your phone and found older versions of S Voice to be of use, feel free to give this new one a shot.
You’ll be able to voice dial, create memos, schedule appointments and tasks, set alarms or timers, ask “what the weather is like,” and find local listings to the best restaurants. From what I can tell, nothing has really changed, other than the S Voice icon. Pro S Voice users, feel free to tell me what I’m missing.

Once it finishes downloading, install as you would any sideloaded app. If you are installing on a Galaxy Star, it should install
