I'm sorry if this has already been asked. I've used google and the forum search to the best of my abilities, I've read through threads but I don't have time to read through a few thousand pages for the ROM. I honestly can't find a single other person having the same issue.
When I press the mic button on the keyboard to start Voice Typing, I get the message that unfortunately, Google search has stopped working. Once this happens, I can no longer use the regular keyboard or Voice Typing. The keyboard will show up and immediately disappearing every time. Every time I try to type something, the same message pops up and immediately disappears. Long hold of the Search button does the same thing. I can fix this by disabling Voice Typing, but that's not a solution for me.
I am running AOKP 1.22.13_B. I have done a factory wipe/reset. Cook's ROM wipe. I've formatted everything on the phone that I possibly can. Numerous reinstalls and wipes and etc etc later, I still have the same issue after a completely fresh installation. I don't understand what's happening here.
Aaaaaaand nevermind. The Play store wasn't showing any updates for Google Search, but when I searched manually for Google Search, it had an update. Update fixed my problem.
Why wasn't the Play store showing the update for Google Search? It showed an update for gmail, but nothing else.
I had the exact same problem & your Post Solved It
I was searching frantically for the same problem as yours, & then i stumbled upon this post.. :fingers-crossed:
I use swiftkey for typing & when i tried using voice input, it used to show me the same error " Unfortunately, Voice Search has stopped "
So when i read this, i thought, if there is no update, why not uninstalling & reinstalling ??
I Uninstalled the Voice Search App from Play Store & Reinstalled it..
And "tada" it worked.. Im loving the typing by voice now..
Thanks to your question which gave me that ide..
Hope you try the same..!!:good:
Hi! I just bought a Jawbone ERA and I'm trying to get it to work with my DNA. When I press the button on the bluetooth headset, Voice Dialer is launched on my phone. I would rather Google Search (Google Now) was launched. I tried installing Bluetooth Launch and selecting com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity as the application to launch, but it's not working. I read a few posts that said to disable Voice Dialer, but I don't see it listed in Apps or in Titanium Backup, so I can't disable or freeze it. Another post said to convert Google Search from a system app to a user app, but I'm not given that option in Titanium Backup (I do have the Pro version too). Has anyone found a way to launch Goolge Search from a bluetooth headset on the DNA? Thanks!!
Well, I have it half-working now. I was able to use Bluetooth Launch to launch Google Search and allow me to speak a command, but it only works once. Then I have to reboot the phone to get it to work again.
Hi xda! (been awhile since I last was here...)
I seem to have a problem with my Ultra (C6833), Android version 4.4.4 (official), not rooted, just plain stock Nordic rom via OTA. But using Google Now Launcher.
I can't seem to make "ok google" work with voice only. The settings -> input -> voice search -> "ok Google" detection -> From any screen -page doesn't register my voice *at all*, nothing happens on that screen. Also on any launcher screen or Google Now, saying "ok google" doesn't have any effects what so ever. When I manually click on the mic icon on any of these pages, Google now works perfectly and most of the time I don't have any trouble it understanding me (not native English speaker).
I tried installing OpenMic+ and tried that, but almost the same happens with that. It works when the actual OpenMic+ program is open, but NOT when it is in the background.
The same settings DO work on my Note 8.0 just fine, and the mic works on the Xperia when making calls (or after clicking the mic icon, voice search works fine). So what gives?
if you still need help with this first make sure your play services google (search or now whichever u decide to call it)play store an gmail are up-to-date last two may not be necessary not i an others have had issues when not once thats done clear cache an data in apps section under settings for Google an play services
Oh, thanks and yeah, haven't gotten it to work. I forgot to clear the caches, silly me. I did check that everything is up to date. I'll try clearing caches.
Ok everything is up to date and clearing the cache still doesn't do it this should be magic goto Google now go to settings go go to voice go to offline speech recognition set auto update to always over data or WiFi go and download UK English language for offline once it's done go back to the installed tab press and hold English UK the selected close Google now open it back go back in that same section and press and hold English us language to select it now try your okay Google

yes i know but the switch to uk an then switching back is what works
EDIT: SOLUTION FOUND! SEE BELOW
I'm having the exact same problem with my Xperia Z2.
Any further advice would be amazing. I'm running Android 4.4.4 and read that some apps can interfere with 'ok google', but I can't track down this problem.
Changing languages doesn't seem to help (I tried Australian in the past). Can someone confirm the above worked? I'm running on limited data plan here and would like to avoid recklessly using it up ;(
EDIT: After browsing for a few hours a few days ago looking for a solution, just after writing this post, THAT article showed up. And 'ok google' works now!
http://ausdroid.net/2014/05/08/fix-google-now-voice-commands/
It was LastPass accessibility service running in background! After turning it off, 'ok google' works now
For the record, to this day I haven't been able to make it work on my Xperia. It works perfectly on my Galaxy Note 8.0 and my HTC One M7, but for the life of me, I have not been able to get it to work on this Sony device. It keeps working the same as always - works perfectly with manual activation, but I cannot get the "Ok Google Detection" to do ANYTHING. (the page where it asks you to say "ok google" three times to "learn" your voice). It just does nothing, it does not register my voice at all on that page.
So glad found this post!
dark_skeleton, you are my HERO!
I couldn't find a solution for this problem for around 4 month!
I was already thinking that there is a hardware problem in my phone,
and just for the chance of succession checked Google again, and SO GLAD I DID!
I used 'OK Google' detection on a daily basis!
In my case, the problem was the application "Informer for SmartWatch".
It was using an accessibility service and blocked the voice recognition.
AnttiV, try going to the accessibility menu and check what services there are external (not pre-installed by Sony).
Seems like it really helps!
Thanks again dark_sekeleton!!
Another app, which is making problems with "Ok Google" is Smart Extension - Hangouts.

Yeah, it was that for me. I've been testing a week or so now without it and everything seems to be working fine. Sadly there's now no way to have hangouts on my SW2, which sucks. But the extension doesn't work with Lollipop anyway, so...
Time to upgrade to Android Wear / Apple Watch?

Hi all:
I'm trying to get Assistant voice typing and Auto punctuation to work on my new Pixel 6. Both options are greyed out in Gboard settings right now. Is anyone else seeing this behavior, or is it working correctly for you?
did you train voice assistant to recognise your voice?

I got the exact same problem where on my son's phone this works
Update, got it enabled now and it works with multiple languages. Since I'm from Germany I have German and English enabled. I don't know what exactly was the trigger, but I played around with language, language settings and offline languages, re-configured everything, re-downloaded languages and so on in assistant settings. The problem must be somewhere there. Maybe someone finds the exact spot
I really want someone to get back to me, as I have the same issue with my phone. I will try the google assistant training first
originali said:

Yes, the voice is already trained.
I'm having the same issue. Out of curiosity, for anybody having the problem, do you have a work profile set up on your phone? I know that with my Pixel 4, some of the new Google Assistant settings were unusable when I added my work account because my employer didn't have some setting enabled in Google Workspace.
I'm wondering if this is related to the same thing. I haven't gotten around to removing that account to see if that clears up the issue yet. I can report when I have time to try that.
Edit: That does appear to the culprit for me. As soon as I deleted my work account, I was able to activate that setting.
So far after re-adding my account, it's stayed enabled, but we'll see... If this is the culprit, I believe it's likely related to this:
Turn Search and Assistant on or off for users - Google Workspace Admin Help
Google Assistant is not available for managed Chromebooks. As an administrator, you can control who uses Google Search and Assistant services with their Google Account. Just turn the service on or of
support.google.com
Thank you brc64! I don't have a work profile set up on the phone, but I did have one work Google account and one Google account from a non-profit I volunteer for on here. I removed the non-profit Google account and the options became available. I, too, added the account back, and both Assistant voice typing and Automatic Punctuation are still enabled.
I haven't gotten it to work yet. Figures I'd run into this! Have us English set everywhere only and downloaded us offline English. Hopefully I'll be able to sort it out! Of all the silly things that's not enabled by default when we turn on voice typing... Thanks Google
Update: I think it might actually be server side change or from an app update. I updated all my apps and it started working shortly thereafter.
I tried all the solutions listed but nothing worked. What fixed it for me was to force stop Gboard. Clear cache. Then select uninstall updates. Let's Google play store update it. Then repeat the same with Google app (force stop, clear cache, uninstall updates then update.) Initially had to force stop Gboard again then open and that's it, boom it worked. Hopefully this helps.

Is it working for you in both languages? Because I'm bilingual as well and although I can switch the toggle, the true assistant voice typing is only working in English. When I switch to German, it uses the old voice typing method. You can tell the difference by the icon the little microphone has. The assistant voice typing has the newer logo.
It's something on the server side. I was on the phone with them yesterday for 90 minutes trying to get the problem resolved, then this morning some type of download came through and it was fixed. Fixed. Just be patient and you'll get it resolved. As a matter of fact, I'm using the service right now
I concur with the server side assumption. I finally got it to work, when I revmoved a second language both from Gboard and the assistant. But since I need to be able to switch to English regularly, this was too much of a hassle, so I reactivated the second language. This took me back to the regular voice input and grayed out the option for the assistant for voice typing.
I did not change anything since then, but I just found, that I now could switch on Assitant voice typing again and it works with multiple languages at once. There have been some auto updates over the play store this morning, so this might have to do with this.
Try to update all apps in your Play Store profile. If this does not help, I guess patience is all that can.

In my case I am running German (Germany) and English (US)
I can confirm this is caused by multiple language, and specifically it is in your google voice assitant setting.

Unfortunately I did not. It works fine in English, but no shot getting it to work in German when I have both languages in my assistant, the phone and the Gboard turned on.
Mine just stopped working this week without me doing anything. It's greyed out.
