If anyone could help, that would be great.
Try as I might I cannot change the voice on my phone to UK English and not US English on my Z7 mini specifically for Google Maps.
I have been though all the settings and changed them to UK. The demo voice gives me a UK voice playback too.
I have uninstalled Pico TTS and installed Google TTS. I have a friend with a Z9 mini and that is teh same, it won't switch to UK English on Maps.
It switches to French and other foreign languages BTW.
Any ideas?
Another thing, the volume control for maps (under navigation settings) is also missing.
how about delete and re download the UK voices, then set as default then try and delete the merican voices (should be a rubbish bin icon next to them) all this is done in the android settings not google maps settings.
Hi Flamery,
Yeah tried all that, specifically trying to delete the American voices. It won't let you and there is no trash icon (Yet there is with the UK voices)

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.
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
Hello
I have faced one problem with Google Voice Search. I need it to recognise polish language (and that's not problem - works perfectly), buy I have also noticed, that Voice Search recognises that language, which is set as system language.
That's very annoying, beacause a lot of great ROM's here do not have polish support, which means that I will not be able to use Voice Search (talking in English isn't any problem for me, but using it for looking for polish websites etc. is almost impossible).
So, my main question: is there any option to set the language recognised by Google Voice Search manually ? Or it always recognises the language, which is set as system language ?
Thank you for your help and replies
The recent update to Google search seems to have introduced some new bugs.
My I9300 is set to UK locale, yet after the update, a voice request "what is the weather in Portsmouth" spoke the answer in Fahrenheit and an American female voice instead of the previous Celcius and a UK voice.
I don't seem to be able to change it back again. Annoying!
With "Google Now" enabled, it can get the units correct, but still American voice. Anyway, I tend to keep Google Now switched OFF by default to save battery power.
Any ideas, apart from wait for another update?
go to google now.
menu>settings>google now>weather
choose Celsius.
and menu>settings>voice>language
choose english uk
good luck !
I've done exactly that and I still only get the American voice? Any thoughts?
Hello there,
So as I didn't find any threads pertaining to Google Offline Voice to Text issues, I thought 'Great, I'm the one online with this kind of problem, there is probably an easy fix'
Setting: Google Offline Voice to Text, text messaging. Trilingual French English German. OS set up for Canada, English (For software I prefer the English interface for its greater practicality and generally greater usefulness).
Situation: when using Google Voice to create texts, no matter what language is selected, it always reverts to English. I click on the language selection, select French, start talking and hear the voice recognition immediately reverting back to English. If I reselect it again, it sticks, until I stop and restart it and then it's the same aggravation again.
It does not matter what language is selected on the keyboard. It ALWAYS goes back to English, as if selecting another language was an error.
Is there something I can do to work around this aggravation? It's already very poor at recognizing French as it is... English works great, but French is horrible. And I'm a native French Speaker!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have to go now but will be back at the end of the day. Thanks in advance for your help!
