Anyone know how I can get the UK female voice back for text to speech I had before my android 4.0.3 ICS update last night ? It's a dreary voice but one I got used to. I'm pretty sure it's the same voice that I'm still getting in Google satnav. If I could get the satnav voice into text to speech it would be great.
In language and input under text to speech output, I can choose either Google text to speech or Samsung TTS to read out my text. Google has one american female who sounds more phillipino and one english male whose voice sounds shaky. And in Samsung TTS, there's just one english voice, another female who sounds phillipino. Is that all the options I have for text to speech voices, have they taken away the voice I used to have? I use it to read out my appointments in my Calendar Snooze app. I read about Ivona text to speech on android market to add more voices but it says it's incompatible with my device so I didn't download it.
Hi everyone!
I have a car (Nissan) with Daewoo non-dvd audio system, with bluetooth. And I have annoying problem with contacts (mostly in russian language) synchronisation between car audio and S3 - during incoming call I see some odd characters on car audio display, instead of russian letters.
So, I think this is because of my car audio doesn't understand encoding of phone's phonebook.
And one moment - it seems to me that contacts are not stored in car audio, but taken from phone each time.
Simple question: what can I do to see russian letters on car audio dispaly?
PS: All contacts im my S3 synched with google account.
it's more likley that the car audio system doesn't support russian letters.
i have changed my contacts to english names long ago, now it syncs perfectly with my car, voice commands, facebook etc..

There is a full support of russian letters, because iPhone + car audio = no problems with russian characters in contacts. And in addition, via Bluetooth Audio my S3 can transmit MP3 tags in russian.
in that case it is something with the encoding i guess.
sorry, i don't have any suggestions for you, hope you'll sort this out somehow.
BTW have you tried to flash an aosp based rom? they have a larger language support by default.

Trying ParanoidAndroid 3 now - no luck, same problem
I have an aftermarket in dash gps system in my car that runs andorid 4.1.1 I use the app Sygic for navigation and recently they decided to switch the TTS voice used to the one in the andorid system. I had a voice called Picolo, which sounded horrible and it would always crash any music app playing as soon as it starts speaking so I installed Vocalizer and now every time the TTS voice speaks it crashes any app playing music not immediately but after the second time it speaks. So maybe there are more stable TTS voice apps? Or if possible someone has a solution to why all of the music apps crash? This is my first post so I don't know if I provided enough information so I hope this helps.
It is possible to replace S Voice completely with Google's language search. I would like to use a Bluethooth headset and make calls with Google Search when I press the button for language selection.
Thank

Hello,
I use a handsfree with voice control in the car .
I press a button on the handsfree and the voice control is started.
Then I say "Anrufen + contact..." and it works.
... At least that's how it was until my new Redmi Note10 with Android 11.
Now the voice control is started, but I always get the message:
"Sorry, I can't help you right now because mobile data is disabled on your smartphone."
In the Google app I have already downloaded in the settings -> offline speech recognition German.
I also installed English(US) offline speech. Doesn't work either.
Is there another offline voice control to start a call?
Bump
