I installed Google Voice Search v 2.1.1 on my fresh new wildpuzzle rom.
Now, as much as I try, it doesn't recognize my voice. Even though my accent (Indian) is not that bad....still???
I heard about personalized voice from Google, but couldn't find that option in settings. Is it available only in US?
Any suggestions (apart from practicing US accent) is welcome!

I have an English (non US English) accent and it seems to work for me.
I'm not certain about search but for voice actions you must change your language setting to 'English (generic)' from English (***). The setting can be found under Voice input and output settings> voice recogniser settings> select English (generic)
Give it a try and lets hear about the results.

Hi,
I've got my SGS2 for a month now and I like it very much, but there seems to be a problem with the voice of the google maps navigation application. On my old HTC HD2 it worked fine and said which turn to take, but now I only hear a "PING" and that's it. I'm currently using the Hyperdroid rom(v1.0) with surgen.
How can I fix this?
Nobody? Up....
Hi
I have same problem, im running latest CheckROM 3.1.1
Best regards,
Henrik
1. Download Classic Text To Speech Engine from the marked.https://market.android.com/details?id=com.svox.classic&feature=search_result
2. After installation, open to select the language you want (USD 2.99) to download.
3. Go to Android Settings -> Voice Input & Output -> Text-to-Speech settings, activate SvoxClassic at the bottom of the screen, then select SvoxClassic as the Default Engine.
Notes:
- Google Navigation requires that the Text-to-Speech voice matches the phone language. You can change the phone language in Android Settings -> Language & keyboard -> Select language.
Hi
Thanks for your reply. I installed SVOX and bought Danish Voice and now its working.
I just wonder why it didnt work without SVOX - I have always had Google Navigation working with Danish voice without I have done anything. Maybe its because im running CheckROM 3.1.1 with XKJ3 kernel which maybe dosent support Danish?
Best regards,
Henrik
I remember sometime in 2009, when google navigation was restrict to US, some people used to Hack it to make it work outside the US...
Nowadays, Voice Action is restrict in english... The app is there.. if I change my locale settings to English US, it works... But when I set it back to portuguese, it only works in search mode...
I was then wondering if it was possible to hack it to make it work in other languages, since it can already recognize speech pretty well in portuguese...
Thanks...
i was thinking the same thing but i dont now if its possible!
if anyone could help?
Hello
I have faced one problem with Google Voice Search. I need it to recognise polish language (and that's not problem - works perfectly), buy I have also noticed, that Voice Search recognises that language, which is set as system language.
That's very annoying, beacause a lot of great ROM's here do not have polish support, which means that I will not be able to use Voice Search (talking in English isn't any problem for me, but using it for looking for polish websites etc. is almost impossible).
So, my main question: is there any option to set the language recognised by Google Voice Search manually ? Or it always recognises the language, which is set as system language ?
Thank you for your help and replies
Anyone know any way to change the navigation voice from the S Voice voice to the Google voice?

Language and input
In settings go to language and input. Change it from Samsung to Google.

Language and input
Here ya go. I changed that and all my voice alerts are from the Google voice. You can adjust the speed as well.
Mine was set to Google by default and I still have the annoying British accent voice (no offense to any British people...she just terrifies me)
I did update to the latest google maps through the play store...but there are some ROMs that have the "younger more energetic" voice even after the update...
do i need to take a different maps.apk?

Thanks for this. I never thought to post and ask about how to change this but I was getting all kinds of crap from my co-workers about the sultry lady in my phone trying to seduce us with her directions. :good:
If anyone could help, that would be great.
Try as I might I cannot change the voice on my phone to UK English and not US English on my Z7 mini specifically for Google Maps.
I have been though all the settings and changed them to UK. The demo voice gives me a UK voice playback too.
I have uninstalled Pico TTS and installed Google TTS. I have a friend with a Z9 mini and that is teh same, it won't switch to UK English on Maps.
It switches to French and other foreign languages BTW.
Any ideas?
Another thing, the volume control for maps (under navigation settings) is also missing.
how about delete and re download the UK voices, then set as default then try and delete the merican voices (should be a rubbish bin icon next to them) all this is done in the android settings not google maps settings.
Hi Flamery,
Yeah tried all that, specifically trying to delete the American voices. It won't let you and there is no trash icon (Yet there is with the UK voices)
