Upgraded to the AT&T stock ROM till a JB ROM comes out.
On GB the turn by turn voice was kind of female and of good volume, now it's some soft spoken British guy. Nothing against the Brits but how do I change the voice?
Thanks,

I just looked and it doesn't seem as if this is possible. I also checked the website to see anything about the updated voice but got no info....
Thanks for the confirmation. I was worried I was posted a stupid "everyone knows the solve" question.
Thanks for your time, very appreciated!

My voice is still a female on ICS

Google navigation requires the TTS voice match the phone language. Android settings > language & input > select language
If you have various TTS engines installed you can select them on the same language & input menu. The Rogers ICS ROM only comes with the default Google TTS engine.
I checked and it is set for English American, no ability to download language packs.
Maybe try British?
Well thanks all.

I don't know if it is the Note, ICS, or just the lack of quality TTS engines but voice choice we do not. Google TTS just sucks and you can't change anything about it. I used to use Loquendo but it is not supported in ICS yet. I just tried Ivona (Kendra voice) TTS and it is a great improvement. The app is free and the voice is a free beta at the moment. I also heard SVOX is good too.
But if you want to change your navigational voice seems the only way is with changing phone language or by changing your TTS engine.

hello, i started trying virtual assistants out like the iphones siri and since then my voice has been messed up. For example when i open my sms to text and want to use the voice it comes up but always with a red line threw it, and that goes for all the keyboards but if i have an app that has its own voice then that works. is something turned off in the google mic? thanks!
oh and in all stock no root....

Did you try installing google voice search first?
what would google voice do? i installed an didn't fix

Do you have a voice input set in settings? Go there to verify you've chosen a voice input.

ok, i went into settings/applications/managed applications/all/voice talk and cleared cache and cleared data and now the voice works in my keyboards ..... something in the pre installed app "voice talk" seemed to goof something up. thanks!

Not google Voice, but google voice SEARCH.
Just an FYI to anyone that has thought about using SVOX but didn't want to pay for the voices. Or, if you use navigation/voice readout on your phone but don't like the standard Android voice.
IVONA speech engine is similar to SVOX but having used both, I think IVONA sounds better. Currently it is in beta and it can be had free from Google Play and the voices are also free.

The beta seems to work very well. Only bad thing is when downloading the voices it can take around 10min even on WiFi (guessing their server connections are not the greatest).
Not sure how long the beta will last so check it out while you can.
Using ivona on rooted stock causes my ringer to not work so have someone call you to make sure thats not happening to you.

My ringer seems to be working. I'm using the voice readout/ringer option for my calls and running rooted/unlocked stock. One thing that bothers me is when reading out a phone number that is not named in my contacts it reads it like a regular number (using the stock selection in settings). However, I set that to ring only and downloaded talking caller id from Play and it works fine that way.
Yea, I think my issue started when I switched from kendra to amy. The voices are awesome, just something to be careful about if a missed call becomes the end of the world.

I had this problem too. I noticed that I lost my ringer when I selected "always use my setting". I turned off that setting and got my ringer back.

I found after having this issue any time I selected a British voice on any text to speech engine it happened. sucks because they sound way better.

I unlocked my phone this weekend and am now running HomeBase Photon without blur. I installed ivona voice and have not had an issue with my ringtone. I am wondering if the issue has anything to do with motoblur.

I am also having the same problem. The only work-around that I know of is to select 'ask every time' under the Google voice option.
I believe the roms that aren't based off of Samsung's has the Voice working properly.
It's working fine for me, but there is a big glitch. If you go to Google Voice app settings and choose to make all calls using google voice it works. When making calls from the touchwiz phone it says it's making the call using google voice. The big issue is that everytime I make a call (to the same number) it shows in the call log as if I've called a completely different random number (presumably the google server the call is actually sent from).
So i tried the apps responding to voice commands, all of them work fine (alarm, camera, music) except for incoming calls. No matter how much i say "answer" or "reject" it wont do anything.
Is anyone else facing the same problem. If this topic is already opened kindly direct me to it. I might have missed it.
Thanx

I'm from Romania.
I think is software related but don't know exactly what's the difference between our phone settings and someone who can use voice commands to answer.
I believe the only setting is to turn on the option of answering calls using voice command. Because i contacted samsung twice. First time they told me to make sure my "incoming calls" option is checked in the setting. When i told them it is thn they just told me to take it to the service center.

is there someone else who wants to test the voice commands at answering phone?
190 views and only hand full of people having this issue. Did you try taking your phone to the local service center?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
for me is not so easy to take it to the local service
samsung service is 500km away and anyway, the phone is working great
only the problem with voice command i want to solve but i think that a software update will do it so I'm waiting
Wow tht is far. Yeah i know the phone is indeed running gd. I know its somrthing small but i want to have it fixed

I just started trying to use my voice cmd's to control the phone. I am experiencing the same thing. For pictures it works great, for answering or regecting calls it doesnt work at all no matter how much i yell at it, and it is not changing the song for music play either. It almost seems as if the noise from the speaker is causing an issue.....
My phone is working fine otherwise so I find it hard to think that it is something related to the phone.....
No voice command function
same problem here... in fact mine is worst, after flashing with custom JB stock based ROM, no voice command options at all!! searching all over the forum for solution...

THANKS
I'm trying to watch YouTube videos, but every time I turn my phone sideways it opens Google voice. How do I stop that?

Get rid of Google voice?
You have to have something doing that, because that doesn't happen on its own. Do you have Tasker or Locale or anything other automation software?

No, I don't have either of those. After flashing Neo's AOKP 1.4 last night and downloading a few apps (Sky Motion, Netflix, XDA, etc.) it started happening this morning (this is the only time I've used the YouTube App today). Although, it happened last night while I was on his CM9 build, too. I don't know what the root cause is.
I use GV exclusively and I'm having no issues with it on Gray's CM9. Playing a YouTube vid in landscape right now for a test and it's fine for me.
It opens Google voice, or voice actions? Are pressing and holding the search key by mistake? Sorry for the low level ?, just trying to help.

It actually opens the Google Voice (the screen with the white background that glows red when you speak into it), if that's what it is called. I was not pressing the search key, I made sure of that. Oh well, tis a mystery.

Ah, this would be "Google Voice Typing", used then you search and when doing voice to text, very different than "Google Voice", which is a call forward/SMS/Voicemail service that Google offers... but other than that little tidbit of information, I got nothin', sorry.

Well, I'm on Neo's 1.4 AOKP with hboot: 2.27.000 and the latest radios and firmware. Before I flashed AOKP I flashed the latest RUU, so I'm assuming I also have the latest firmware. It happened again several times today when I turned my phone sideways while watching YouTube. This Google thing is getting annoying. I'm ready to just remove it, lol. Dumb Google Now
