The voice requests and cards work just fine. But Google Now doesn't to "talk back" through the speakers like it does on my GNex phone.

Seems like alot of people are having problems with the update. Did you do a factory restore after the update? im still waiting till im off for a few days after before i update mine. hopefully won't have the problems everyone else is reporting
Also had this problem.
Go to : Settings -> Language and input -> Change Language to English (United States). Seems to only work on that.

That worked, thanks.
is google now suppose to only respond to certain questions? I hear it sometimes, but i thought it would talk back like siri.
i love this feature, and think its a standout feature, since it can do more things in my country than siri does.
it still doesn't work :\

Mine didn't respond initially but i changed the language settings from the search to English (UK) and it started talking back to me
I'd like there to ne an XDA mode, where if you ask it a stupid question it flames you weveral times with different voices 8)
it works with english (US) :laugh: Thanks
For those who tried everything and still nothing - try this
Guys, there is my solution:
- Set your locale to whatever you want
- Set the Google Now Voice Language to English US
- Voice Output to Always
- Remove the tick(untick the box) on Hide Offensive Words
I spent hours of tinkering with this and tried all kinds of options, but in the end that solved it for me. This is because recently there was an update to Google Search, which is the application designation for Google Now and it introduced this bug.
I have my locale to my native one English UK en-GB and everything works like a charm as it should be and as it used to work before the update.

+1 to this. Turns out that my SYSTEM volume was muted for some reason. You could also go into Settings>Sound>Volume>System (adjust as needed)

哎，这版本依然存在bug，待机唤醒后wifi无效的问题并没有修复，只是有所改善了而己。
意思是wifi待机后再唤醒还是可以接着上网的，待机中也可以上网的，但我的却待机中无数据传输的时间久了一点之后，再唤醒就又上不了网了，wifi又挂掉了。

I think he is either: A. Asking if the wifi bug in QuickSense has been fixed.
B. Asking if anyone else is experiencing a wifi bug.
or C. Ordering the Kung Pao Chicken
translate?
per google translate :
Hey, this version is still a bug, wake up after standby wifi invalid does not fix the problem, but has improved and has been.
Means that the standby and then wake up or wifi can then access the Internet, you can stand in the Internet, but I have no data transmission standby time in a long time after that, and then wake up on the network but not on a, wifi and hung up .
I think maybe he is saying that it doesn't connect to wifi after sleeping for a while?
I haven't a clue...
hmm ok i will try and look into it

gotta love google translate. But could it be because he has wifi sleep on?
Seems like this guy said that the turned-on wifi wont work after a certain long period of standby. I actually never face this problem though. I would suggest restore factory set and format internal storage first.

之前我一切被wifi在待机唤醒后无效的问题搞头烦得要命。
试刷无数rom，刚一开始是好的，但安装完所有的软件后就成坏的了。
经过数十小时的时间和数次恢复出厂值，数次安装软件测试，反安装。
最后已找到了原因并确认了bug
此迷底已经解开了！原因是：
1.22.1.1350版本的豌豆荚手机精灵有冲突造成的。
多次测试确认，wifi的待机唤醒后无效原因是由“1.22.1.1350版本的豌豆荚手机精灵”造成的。
我靠，叼飞这个垃圾豌豆荚手机精灵，害人不浅啊，至于我朋友的机子为何这样子，是因为他的那台手机也插过我的这台电脑并通过调试模式安装了我电脑上面的豌豆荚手机精灵，而另一个朋友从没插过我这台电脑，而他却是插他的电脑上面安装的是另一个版本的豌豆荚手机精灵，所以他的手机上面表现有wifi正常，只有我和插过我电脑上面的的个朋友的那台机表现出同样的wifi待机唤醒后无效的问题！终于知道了，100000000%确认是豌豆荚手机精灵的原因了。吓死不少人呢！

Hi,
I would like to change the voice of S-Voice. I prefer other TTS Engines out there. It seems to ignore the TTS Engine settings you set in the OS Menu.
Also, is there a way to switch between a male and female voice ?
Thanks.
dont bother changing it just delete s-voice , its the biggest pile of junk ever
I completely disagree with you ! I actually like S-Voice alot ! Its one of the reasons I bought the S3 in the first place !! Yes it might not get all the sarcasm of Siri, but it has its own advantages, I love how I can control so many functions of the phone just by voice (Especially the morning alarm ! The voice activated snooze or stop is AWESOME !) So anyway, I personally like it !
it cant even control opening radio / music and apps .. and updating fb n twitter using it is just rubbish and the constant network error and i cant understand anything lol . vlingo has never been good and probably never will be
anyway to change between male and female goto language and input then text to speech output .. samsung tts is a woman and google text to speech is a male
also click on the cog next to samsung tts to change tone of voice etc
Im not sure if you have used s-voice or not :S
It can play music very well, I asked it this morning to "play me some music by David guetta" and in no time It opened up my music player and played "Little bad girl" !!
I asked it to update my facebook status and it asked me right away what I wanted to say, and then updated it just fine !
So again........its doing everything I want it to do with no problems what so ever !
BTW I hate Vlingo too, its a crappy program, but S-Voice is VERY VERY different from vlingo, I actually went on my S2 and started comparing and vlingo couldnt do ANY of the things SVoice did, it simply didnt understand any sentence unless It was an exact command.
yes i have used s-voice many times and have a clear english accent . s-voice is only vlingo with a skin .... i am actually right now talking to my cousins s3 and asking it to update facebook with something and it comes up with something totally different .. and also when asking it to update twitter it trys top update facebook .. asked it to play bob marley , it played oasis, then everything else i just asked it said network error , exactly the same as my s-voice b4 i deleted it
Wierd......didnt face that many issues with mine !
Well, it did misunderstand me a few times........I told it to open facebook once and then it came back saying "I dont understand what you mean by Dicks" lol ? Not sure how it translated FB to dicks........but that was funny anyway
The network error message is the only thing that really bothers me about S-Voice.
OP, did you work out how to do this? I have the same problem, I want to use Ivona TTS as well...
Nope, I didnt.........S-Voice app would have to be modified to use the OS TTS engine and thats not gonna be easy. Well I definitely dont have the expertise to do that, so hopefully someone out there would be able to !

How can you configure s voice to snooze your alarm ? I haven't really used s voice that much but this seems like an interesting function Thanks in advance !
You go to Settings >> Language and Input >> Voice cmd for apps
Turn it on and tap on it again to access it, there you will see a list of apps/actions you can do , you choose which ever ones you want to activate.
Thats one of the features im still enjoying in my S3 But be carefull its soo easy to yell STOP and then go back to sleep !

I figured this out!
Go into your settings(phone settings) and pick whatever TTS engine you want.
Then, double tap the home button to enter s voice, and then hit the back button two or three times to completely exit S Voice.
Double tap the home button again and the voice ought to have applied.
EDIT: Also, if you want to use like an Ivona British voice, you also need to select the United Kingdom English in S Voice's settings. Or, you can simply have Ivona only install the voice data for whichever voice you want, and it should carry over to S Voice regardless of which version of English s voice is set to.
Or, if that doesn't work, something I once encountered, use the Application manager and Disable all but the TTS engine you want to use. Also force close them and clear their data. Then clear S Voice's data. Get into s voice again and disable, then re-enable the voice prompt. IF all else fails, that -should- do the trick.

you must have some crazy accent that yourself didn't notice.
After I downloaded the HD tts files, I tested it in S Voice and got the same old voice.
While in S Voice I hit the menu button and chose Settings. It brought up an S Voice settings menu.
From there I selected language. (which will be set to whatever your default language is. For me it was English (United States))
I then select another language. As soon as I selected it I was taken back to the S Voice Settings menu.
I selected language again and set it back to English (United States)
When I tested S Voice again that horrible robotic voice was gone
Hi,
I took a look at a video about Google Now where someone was using a lot of different command to get info from wikipedia, or to do things on the phone like setting up allarms, play music, turn off wifi, etc. I am wondering why if I am using latest version for CM10 from epinter, it doesn't have all the recognition this video has.
Everything I said even though it is well recognized by Google Now the only thing it does is a google search.
Any idea?

I tried that but it wasn't enough, I had to change the entire Android language to English, otherwise it was just searching was I was saying.
I still couldn't make it work on Spanish, even setting everything to spanish it only searches what I say, no stuff integration like wikipedia, or text mesages, or reminders or any other feature.
There are a couple of things you need to have straight.
For one, this isn't a fully-functional rom since the real thing doesn't even exist for this phone. Of course features are going to be incomplete. That video is a horrible tool for comparison. That said, not all features in that video are supported. Alarms,traffic, and basic searches? Yes. Other stuff? Not really.
Also, I believe there was a bit in the epinter thread that mentioned how it would only work in English for right now.

That's weird. I definitely don't have all functionality as shown in other devices running JB.
I've noticed a few issues. I'm using the same Rom. Google Now doesn't work as well on my Atrix as it does on my TF300 that was OTA updated to JB. But that's to be expected. The rom is in Alpha stage still I believe, not everything is prefect yet. The only issues I find though is that it wont talk back to you answers. Like if you ask for simple tasked that it normally would speak the answer as well as show you. I only get the google search results and the cards.
I've tried searching other threads but I can't find exactly what I'm asking.
Just (finally) got 4.1 on my One X, and I've been trying out Google Now but there's one thing bugging me. When it gives me the search results, there's no "speech output". I know that this is because my language setting for the app is "English UK", and it'll only output speech when it's set to "English US". However when it's set to the US variant it doesn't recognise my voice very well, obviously because I have a British accent.
My question is: Is there a way to enable speech output on Google Now without setting the language setting to "English US"?
I hope this makes sense, I'm very tired right now. Thanks for reading!

Heh, I might get a few odd looks by talking to my phone in a terrible American accent.
Hey, I'm messing around with the settings here.
As you might know, Google released an update for Google Now. It now allows the use of "OK Google anywhere" and is always listening while charging, pretty much like Moto X! Yay
But it seems that not everybody is getting it, mostly folks outside U.S., and the Moto X is having a hard time to make it run.
As I always mod the Google Now to work on my mother language, I did a brief comparison between both new and old "StartupSettings.bin" and found a couple of new guys, but two caught my eye:
Code:
hotword_blacklisted_devices>XT1049,XT1050,XT1052,XT1053,XT1055,XT1056,XT1058,XT1060,XT912A
Those are all Moto X versions
and:
Code:
!relationships_peopleapi_http_path4https://www.googleapis.com/plus/v2whitelisted/people
which might be the "VIP" list to see if the user is eligible for the new feature.
Some guy from AndroidPolice assured that he could get the feature for a single-use only, if he logged out of Google Now, logged in and tried the feature out. After the first use, the feature would be removed, and all he'd get is the typical "OK Google" from the home screen.
What do you guys think? I'll try to set the whitelist to localhost here to see what happens.

Holy crap dude, it worked.
I modded Google Now to work with my Mother Language, pt-BR. I'll have a look to see if I make it able to work on pt-BR too. Every text and instructions are correct in this language, so it must only be a simple think.
Thank you!

Damn. It presents me the option to record my voice three times for later recognition, but it crashes just at the end.
So close..
------------------
So stupid! There's no need for this anymore. It has "two languages" now. I set the primary as English and the secondary as Portuguese (Brasil).
Works flawless! This is awesome. Thanks
