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

Hi All,
Loving my Hero, got over 420 apps installed and it's still running as fast as anything!!!
This phone is truly amazing, came from the G1 and it's in a different class.
Anyway I have noticed when trying to use a few voice apps I get the message:
Voice recognizer not present
I have looked for an answer on the forums but can't seem to find one.
I'm on Modaco 2.8, has anyone else got the same issue?
I'm wondering if it is down to the rom or my phone.
I've tried re-flashing the rom but it didn't help.

I've got the same problem with my htc dream. I think there's some sort of voice library missing because I don't have the voice search functionality in my search widget either.
There's a message in de android-developers mailing list that the voice recognition has been removed from uk releases of hero/dream.
How to Fix!
Install Voice Seach (by google) in the market to fix this issue. It contains the required Voice Recognizer and should get everything working! My Microphone button even showed back up in the keyboard after installing!
The app is not available in many countries, so here you can download the lastest version (v2.1.4) http://www.mediafire.com/?r9b47dcirtt8m98 and flash it from the Recovery.
(found it at MoDaCo)
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 am using CM7.1 B^N version and i want to use speech to text service of google, which usually show up when i press the mic icon in the keyboard. now the thing is i see no mic icon in the keyboard and i dont know how to enable it and if i try to download and use iris from the market it says no voice input service found and stuff like that.
i did the search and found that i need https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.voicesearch to work on my mobile but when i try to install it it says (This app is incompatible with your Motorola MB860).
Any suggestion what to do ?
EDIT: i have found why i was unable to download it cos it is the part of gapps and i have skipped or installed small version of apps and that dont have it. just extracted the apk from full version gapps and now its working just fine.
Try downloading a keyboard from the Android Market. There are many good free ones. This should solve your problem if the keyboard you download has the speech recognition key on it. If not, download other keyboards which do have it (look at the photos of the keyboards before downloading).
If this solves your problem, don't forget to leave a thanks.
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
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)
