I have been trying to get my Note 2 to use the Ivona speech engine with no luck.If I go into TTS settings and switch to ivona it uses the google voice but doesn't same the road names, just "turn left" or "turn right". I have downloaded the ivona voice package and it is working. Anyone else having this problem. Currently on the beanstown 1 rom.

I am having the same problem. Downloaded Ivona (which I used with no problem on my previous phone) and I cannot get it to work on my Note 2. Did you ever find a solution to this?

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
Is there a comparison somewhere, or someone knowledgeable on the subject that can help me out. Is there a reason to pick one over the other? This stems from when I use speaktoit assistant it prompts me to know whether I want to use Pico or Samsung. Thanks!
Just try them out and pick the one you like.
You can always change this in setting-->voice input and output
Personally I prefer Pico than Samsung, sounds a bit more natural.
You can also buy Loquendo TTS from the Market, which is much better than these two.

Be aware, Samsung tts messes up Google navigation voice badly
I have been using IVONA and have been more than pleased at the natural sound of this TTS engine.
I use svox classic myself

exactly, I repeat: Samsung TTS messes up the google navigation voice badly.
took me a while to realize it is the samsung TTS caused the google navigation starts reading the programming code: http://www....

hey guys! is there a way to change Samsung voice recognition by vilingo to Google voice recognition??
Google voice engine is better and servers work FAST in every country.
Vlingo is hell too slow... 15 seconds for each phrase (slow servers from my country)
thanks guys!
ps: Changing voice and input from phone settings WONT WORK, dont bother to answear that
ps2: IF WE CHANGE THIS SETTING: people with other phones will be able to use this app. Actually Samsung blocks servers to every phone that it's not an SIII
You need a search engine and search for XDA Google Now .
Or start by reading the Google now post in General .

I can confirm that there is a flashable Zip that will enable Google Now on all ICS devices...works perfect on my ICS/JB S2 and S3 phones...have a google...its on a wide range of Android network websites...XDA of course too...

The idea is to use S VOICE, google now is not the same for samsung phones.
Please, do not recomend another app. Please, let's try to change the voice recognition of the S VOICE.
Thats the idea of this post
Thanks anyway.
S Voice is dead and will cease to exist for the SGS3 in a few weeks .
But good luck in trying to mod S Voice .

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.

on that note... is that the same way for google maps voice? that thing is kinda scary
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:
Downloaded and installed MiniN3 rom. One thing I am missing is the the Voice function to snooze/stop the alarm.
I added the newest Note 3 S Voice APK through another thread but it doesn't work. I've also searched for Voice Control to make sure it was on in the settings. One thing I found odd is that the Voice Control can only be pulled up through the Search function.
Can anyone help me find a solution?
Thanks!
