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.

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:

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.
Hey Friends is there any app available for android just like SIRI personal Assistent.
Speaktoit Assistant - have a look at this
Vlingo looks good too
Try Voice Actions. It's like a modified version of Google Voice Search with extra functionality, such as "order me a pizza", "news about Bill Clinton", "what's the weather like?" etc.
plenty of apps are there now like
1. voice actions (i like the most)
2. speaktoit assistant
3. andy
4. iris
5. risi
6. vlingo
7. Eva
when i try any of those it says my device can't recognize voices... any ideas? am i missing something?
Download from market Google Voice Search and a Speech Synthesis.
At Iris (I have tested only this) better set your system to English language.

i did, but for some reason it still says the same...
iris dude....
OK guys, I'm either dumb or it's really not working for me. Tried synthesis, iris, and every other crap there is and it's just not working. Any ideas or tutorial so I can start from scratch and try to set it up?
I'm using Kyorarom v0.4.0.
Hmm I don't know why it can't run...
You have some error?
For me it is working after installing Google Voice Search, and SpeechSynthesis Data Installer(you need installer, because other don't work)

Get voice search from market
LoL. I went to the Market to get Voice Search and it says that it's not compatible with my device. WTF Google?
Can anyone send me .apk please?
EDIT:
Found .apk. If anyone has similiar problems apk is here.
This one is far superior https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.outpushdev.mira
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 .

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 .

Unfortunately google now is only available in English (US) only. Change your phone language and try it will work
I am Norwegian too, and it sucks balls, but for now I can live without google now talking back to me Hope google will resolve this "issue" soon

click on menu (left button) and go to Settings -> Google Voice. You need to change the language there too in order to have it speaking to you
