im trying to change vlingo as my default text to speech. Everytime i try to use tet to speech, its not google that translates it its vlingo, i dont like vlingo and i want to change it to google, does anyone know how this could be replaced?
Settings -> language and keyboard- > multi-touch keyboard -> preferred dictation engine -> then pick google.

this does not work, even though i put the default as google its still using vlingo when i use it on creating a new message
I was able to switch back and forth. Which messaging program are you using? Verify the settings, restart and then try it?

Does this work only in the multitouch keyboard, or will it work with swype as well?
the messaging program im using is the one that comes with the phone which is "text messaging" i believe, and the default voice input is set to google. and still it doesnt work i rebooted my phone twice.

Does anybody know of a way to change the bluetooth voice dialling app?
I would rather have "Voice Actions" launch than the default Vlingo voice app when I use my bluetooth kit, but I can't find a way to change the app that opens.
Does anyone know of a way? I would rather not root but will consider it if that's the only way.
Thanks
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> look for Vlingo, select it and "Clear Defaults".
Next time you start the dialer it'll hopefully ask what you want as default, set it to voice search and tick the box.
You can also go to settings -> voice input+output and select the app you want to process voice input. Vlingo's processor seems to work much better than Google's, YMMV.

Tried that already; vlingo isn't listed but I looked at the voice commands app and there's no.option to clear defaults. Also I can change the speech engine in voice input+output but not the app itself.
Any other ideas?
Anyone?
If there's any way to do this someone on XDA must know, this place is like the pool of all knowledge when it comes to hacking devices to do what we want them to do

I just realised that the earlier poster (knightnz) was probably using a custom ROM - so, presumably, if I root and install a custom ROM I will be able to change the bluetooth app, I just can't do it on Samsung's ROM? I repeat that there is no option to "clear defaults" in the default voice commands app on Samsung's ROM.
If so, I might root.
Thanks in advance for any answers

finally did anyone tried?
I go into apps and clear the defaults for the stock internet but it always stays checked as default when I back out of the app. I want to be able to pick which internet app I use but I cant figure out why it wont let me. It always goes straight to the HTC Interent, when I wanna use Dolphin. Is there any way to make the clear defaults stick?
In settings go to the app association option and set it there. The apple patent caused the popup menu to go away

Have you tried going to Settings - App association - Web URLs and set the default app to the one you wanted?

I've read a lot about this but not found a definitive answer. I have three choices in Language and Input - Samsung Keyboard, Google Voice typing and Swype. I only want to use Swype. I can untick Google Voice but Samsung Keyboard is greyed out, so every time I type something I get the Choose Input Method (offering me Samsung or Swype) notification. I'm trying to get rid of this because it's annoying and makes Swype open slower.
I tried freezing Samsung keyboard and there were no problems, but maybe there could be in the future so I am unsure about uninstalling it. I can't disable it in APplication Settings, although I guess this is the same as freezing it. I thought though, could I make the Samsung keyboard a
user app, and would that enable it to be unticked? So then I wouldn't get the notification but the app would still be there if I needed it.
Or if I uninstalled the Samsung Keyboard and installed, say Google Keyboard as a backup, would this be okay? If I've installed it myself I should then be able to untick it in Language and Input. I'm currently thinking I might try this.
Or is it safe to uninstall the Samsung keyboard? I used to use PIN screenlock but now use pattern, so that shouldn't be a problem. I can't think of any other situations that would require stock keyboard. I'm on stock 4.1.2 and am rooted. I know this is a long post but just wanted to get as much detail in!
tl;dr: Is it safe to remove the stock keyboard?

did you try this language and input default and select witch keyboard you want to use
I uninstall stock keyboard all the time and replace it with SwiftKey. I use Titanium Backup to find the app and uninstall it.
I have yet to face any problems, I have no backup of any keyboard, just SwiftKey installed. Well, I don't believe I uninstalled Google Voice typing, but it can be unchecked.
I'm sure there is a way to get rid of stock Samsung. To be safe make a Name I guess.

Yep, I've set Swype as default but I still get the Choose Input Method notification.
I froze stock Samsung keyboard and there didn't appear to be any problems, but I thought I'd check on here. I'll try backing up and uninstalling it with Titanium. A keyboard is a keyboard is a keyboard, so there shouldn't be any problems I would think. Like you say Mr 309041291a, you've never had a problem. I can't think of any situations that would need stock keyboard (maybe PIN/pw lockscreen - if that even uses it?). But I use pattern so shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks for the replies.
Hi, I have a Mate 10 pro (italy market) single sim.
I have downloaded Gboard but when i open the settings for activate the keyboard it is not selectable.
it appears in gray, while the other keyboards are selectable.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall several times but the problem remains.
can you help me?
I found a solution alone. I write it here for anyone who could have this problem. in the settings menu, in the search field I wrote "keyboard", among the results I selected "virtual keyboard" and from this menu I found in the list of entries again "virtual keyboard" and here finally I could enable gboard.
Worked perfectly. Thanks!!!
I'll revive an old thread.
What do you mean "download"? Do you have the Huawei keyboard with your phone? I'm in the USA, and here it COMES with Gboard, and i much rather use the Huawei keyboard, but i can't find it. Would you or anyone with the apk upload it somewhere? Thank you
Huawei keyboard is shiftkey
When I try to use voice to text it stops recording after about 2 seconds. No problem on my mate 9.
Crap. Any tips?

Does it at least transform the 2 seconds to text? Go to app settings and have a look if it has permission to use mic. Maybe just reset app by deleting app data....I had this issue before but can't remember how I fixed it.. I just remember it wasn't complicated.
PS: voice to text sends you voice to the Google server. Maybe your internet connection is weak or something in your Google account settings prevents this feature (maybe privacy settings you adjusted)

Thanks for the reply.
It will record for about 3 seconds then just stops typing. The "listening" is still displayed too, but just stops typing.
My internet connection is good.
I also have a Mate 9 and it works just fine.
I deleted the Gboard app all together,then reinstalled and it worked for about 3 times, then same thing.
I have the mic permission turned on. It's wierd. I live in Thailand and this is the dual SIM version BLA-L29.
Same here. Annoying AF
I used to be able to swipe up from the bottom-left and bottom-right corners of the screen to launch Assistant, but that no longer works and I cannot find anything in settings to help...
Any ideas?

Hi, not sure if it helps but it's still working for me. I have the assistant and google app installed with all permissions granted, notifications active and set the default assistant app to google.

It took me to the setting when i set up the Google Assistant app, i can't find it as a system setting so it must be hidden. Try reinstalling Assistant and going through the setup again perhaps ?
That worked

I have set the default digital assistant to google in Assistant app but after a while it just default to none. I have given access to Assistant app as well as disable auto-optimize option under battery. Any one have the same issue?
I have the same issue. I added Google Assistant to Home screen & Lock screen->Recent tasks manager->Locked, but that doesn't help....
I have problems with "ok google" it doesn't work. I have also pixel buds but i cannot activate with the voice.
in settings under Google assistant /hey Google & voice match i see this
ok google this feature is currently unavailable on this device
And i change language in phone and inside assistant, also set as default program but nothing.... Any idea? Thanks
I'll buy chocolate for anyone that figures this out. Assistant was working fine although no OK GOOGLE to wake. Now the default assistant app switches to none after a short while. No idea how to fix.
Agreed, used to work the same for me, but recently it keeps resetting to none... maybe the result of an OS update?
I don't think it will work on this phone as it has CN COLOR OS which automatically sets changes back for assistant part.
I've found no way for Ok Google, however I have managed to keep Google Assistant as the default.
Setting the following in the Google battery settings:
Allow Background Activity, Allow auto Launch and Allow this app to lunch other apps or services, in permissions pretty much allow everything and also allow notifications. Then in Google Assistant set it to default - with all the above settings mine has not changed the default in 2 weeks so far.
I also downloaded button mapper and set the Google Assistant to launch when I press the volume button twice which made it easier to launch when I need it - button mapper needs the same settings as above otherwise the phone will kill it.
I'm wondering if there is any app where you can set custom voice commands - as if so you could set 'Ok Google' to launch assistant. Ive not really looked into it as I usually activate my assistant from a hardware button.
