I know Google's option is designed to. Just curious if S voice does the same, guessing not, but did want to ask those with the phone as searches did not seem to find the answer.
Also while I have you, is s voice even worth messing with? I've seen one siri vs s voice comparison that was s voice almost all the way and another that was the exact opposite.
No it is not your wife
There's a ton of videos with it working great most are European people with heavy ass accents speaking English and it does fine so if you speak clearly I don't see it being any kind of an issue

I'm not sure but I think you can actually use Google with S voice. There's a setting in the phone where you can choose your 'Voice recognizer' between Google and Vlingo and I'm thinking S voices uses whichever you select. I've set it to Google.
I noticed I have a lot more success with it than back when I was messing with it on a demo unit (even though I was in a quiet room there). I'm not a native English speaker but it almost always transcribes my voice correctly. It doesn't always do what I want but I guess that will improve too. I guess once you learn its limits it can be very useful.
i went to the AT&T store to play around with some of the phones including the lumia 920. naturally i played around with Siri, S-Voice, and Windows voice commands.
S voice or google voice was the best one, and windows phone 8 barely had a voice commands. you cant ask it questions or do much of anything besides very basic commands like "call" "text" or "open" anything else would simply go straight into a BING search.
My question is what happened to TellMe or windows phone 8's response to Svoice and siri?
i loved everything about the Lumia 920 but this lack of voice command is bothering me.
are they still developing something that will come in an update or have they abandoned all development in it?
What WP is doing is to let devs extend it by using voice commands in their apps.
They showed this off with Audible, where you could launch the app with voice and then continue using the app with voice commands ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufJNiOpLqvE ).
Or you could realize how crazy you look using the voice commands.
I came from years of using an Android device and the only time I needed it was in the car...and I shouldn't have been texting anyway.
Voice Commands
I agree with the "looking crazy" comment, but even more critical, most bluetooth headsets have to have a physical on-off switch and be left off in order to avoid inadvertant voice dialing or voice commands when the call button is accidentially pressed. Is there any way to disable voice command in Windoes 8?
In iOS, you can turn off voice dialing but you cannot turn off or disable the iPod, so in meetings or movie theatres music would spontaneously begin blasting, even if the phone wason silent. the only solution was to have no music on the phone.
It seems awfully arrogant for the manufacturers to not allow this feature to be disabled.

This feature is so easy to implement, I expect a lot of apps to add that when they release their WP8 updates. Hey DJ and Urbanspoon already did.
It won't take long for voice commands on WP8 to surpass anything the other platforms offer.
Introduction
The voice recognition API does not allow apps to choose whether they want to use offline voice recognition or not. There's no setting for the user either. Instead, if there's an internet connection, it'll always use the online services.
This module allows you to force offline voice recognition/typing. This is useful if you're using a slow connection, if you're connected to a local network (without internet access,) etc.
What does this module do?
This module can force offline voice recognition for apps that use Google Voice. It'll work if the app uses one of the following:
Voice typing (used by keyboards, e.g. SwiftKey)
Voice recognition (for apps that use RecognizerIntent such as utter!)
It does so by setting a variable that indicates whether a network connection is available or not to false.
Voice commands inside the Google Search app aren't affected. Note that if offline voice recognition doesn't work for you in the first place, this module won't fix that.
Requirements:
Xposed Framework.
Broadcasts:
You can toggle some settings from e.g. Tasker using broadcasts. Just use these action names:
com.germainz.googleofflinevoice.enable - Enables the module.
com.germainz.googleofflinevoice.disable - Disables the module.
com.germainz.googleofflinevoice.enable_voice_ime - Enables the module for voice typing.
com.germainz.googleofflinevoice.disable_voice_ime - Disables the module for voice typing.
Example from the shell:
Code:
am broadcast -a "com.germainz.googleofflinevoice.disable"
Source code:
https://github.com/GermainZ/GoogleOfflineVoice
Download:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.germainz.googleofflinevoice
Changelog:
Code:
[B]1.2.1:[/B] The widget now uses images to indicate the module's state. This should fix text getting cut off on some devices.
[B]1.2:[/B] Fix for the latest Google Search. Revamped blacklist. Added a simple widget to toggle module status (useful to quickly enable/disable GoogleOfflineVoice from e.g. your home screen).
[B]1.1:[/B]
The voice typing setting wasn't working correctly (because of a typo - offline voice typing was never forced.) Also, there was another typo in strings.xml, as a reboot is actually *not* required for the settings to apply.
[B]1.0:[/B] Initial release.

I think the title and description are extremely clear.
Anyway, check this.
EDIT: actually, I don't understand what you want. Regardless, it doesn't seem related to what this mod does so no.
I don't know if I understand this clearly - this will able me to use Google Now voice recognition and Swiftkey voice typing when there's no data connection? But I'll still be able to use it when data is on?

No. On Jelly Bean and higher, you can already use offline voice recognition/typing. That only happens when you're not connected at all, though. You can't force it if you're using a slow connection or if you're connected to a WiFi that's local (no internet access.) This module allows you to do that. I personally use it for SwiftKey and utter! because I find online recognition is too slow - at least with my internet connection.
Good app, was looking for something like this since long.
sent from public phone using coins.
Tried it out anyway. Off-line recognition CAN work on Armv6--had it happen once, just once. Do not know how I got there but the armv7 code stands in the way. So maybe this module could bypass it.
I actually have two Google choices for recognition, one for Google Search (offline) and one for older Voice Search (online). Vlingo also exposes its engine as another working choice. I wish Nuance (they own it now) would expose there Dragon engine. Unfortunately, most apps no longer respect this choice. In fact, only Jeannie works now with the online recognition choice. The voice assistant does not work over KitKat Google Search and launcher.
So I enabled this module. Really did not change much. Jeannie still worked, seemed quicker but very subjective--I assume was still going online. Google Search did not FC but did not accept voice. Next browser's voice input pretended to work, as before. No results. Voice typing also pretended, no results. Dragon's (using Swype) works very well (online).
BTW, the linked kludge is for dictation, using an ICS modded Google Search to somehow retrieve a language file. Did not work for me but I have the file, manually symlinked to its presumably proper place. The poster does not use Google Search, only dictation.

This module can force offline voice recognition, by changing the following, and only for apps that use Google Voice:
Voice typing (used by keyboards, e.g. SwiftKey)
Voice recognition (for apps that use RecognizerIntent such as utter!)
You're unlikely to notice a big difference unless you're using a slow connection or are connected to a WiFi network without an internet connection.
Voice commands through Google Search aren't affected, so your "did not accept voice" isn't related to this module. As I've said, this only affects Google Voice - Dragon and other engines will still behave as before.
If offline voice recognition doesn't work for you in the first place, this module won't fix that.
Can someone coment if this would have significant savings on bandwidth, for people who are trying to keep it under a couple hundred meg cap? For a user who uses heavy dictation.
Update:
Code:
[B]1.1:[/B] The voice typing setting wasn't working correctly (because of a typo - offline voice typing was never forced.)
Also, there was another typo in strings.xml, as a reboot is actually *not* required for the settings to apply.
Sorry

It depends. Offline voice recognition isn't great for dictation unless you have a perfect accent and there's no background noise at all. You'll get unusable results otherwise.
Assuming it works perfectly, though, you'll save quite a lot, yes. Of course, it depends on how much you use it. But as I've said, offline dictation probably won't give you acceptable results, so you'll have to Try It And See™ and decide for yourself (also note that it wasn't working properly till this update.)

Maybe, if it uses Google voice recognition. Try It And See™.
PS. I'm not sure what you mean be "I can't use voice recognition" - if it's failing even with an Internet connection them your problem is elsewhere.
Well @GermainZ, because I was using Google Keyboard too and nothing happens. To be sure, voice recognition works fine with an internet connection.

Voice typing != voice recognition. Google Keyboard should use voice typing, so make sure that setting is enabled. Read the OP for more info.

For me, the only deal-killer for Tizen as compared to Android Wear is the speed of S Voice vs Google Now. In the past S Voice has lagged terribly while Google Now is almost instantaneous. Has anyone heard about S Voice improvements in the most recent Tizen?
I dont use S voice so i wont know, but would like to have S voice work just like Google Now works on the Android Wear Watches. like waking up the Gear and saying OK Gear or S voice for commands.

No it is still extremely slow on the Gear S as compared to the Moto 360 (I own both)
It is faster for me. Android Wear's Google Now is faster, but I've noticed that S-Voice is faster than it was on the Tizen Gears.

I received a GS update and it said one of the improvements is S-Voice
Seems to work very well with my Note 4. Seems about the same speed as Google Now to be honest and I think it has a bit more flexibility in how you phrase things.
You can set the Gear S to respond by voice whenever the screen is on (which you can by flicking your wist), and it responds by default to "Hi Gear"
You can then say something such as "Send a text to 1234567 Hello Jim, I will see you at 2pm". S Voice then displays the result on the screen (which you can choose to ignore) and asks you to say "Yes" if you want to send it.
Once a text comes in, you can flick your wrist, say "Hi Gear", and "Read messages" which will result in S Voice reading the message aloud. And then you can reply to the text immediately by voice if you want to.
Seems pretty slick and reliable to me.
Whenever I hold the Bixby button on the side I try to speak as soon as it comes up and no matter how quickly I speak or what I say it always fails and says it couldn't hear me. It fails almost instantly. How do I fix this or extend the amount of time that Bixby listens to pick up what I'm trying to say/ask? Otherwise this function is absolutely useless!
Thanks in advance! I've never used or had Bixby before. I had the note 4 perviously. FYI I have the T-Mobile version of the S9 plus right now.
Have you tried the google assistant app just to see if it can hear your command?
You are supposed to hold the button while speaking to it. kinda like a walkie talkie button
Thanks! I have one other question about Voice to Text please
Not sure why, but I searched all over and no one had this simple answer. I went from the Note 4 to the S9+, so I have no experience with Bixby. Thanks for the tip to hold the button while speaking. :good:highfive:
Any suggestions on changing the voice to text service used when creating my text messages and other things? I get SOOO many typos with Samsungs version. Googles at least have fewer types and sometimes none. It was much more intuitive in fixing things if it heard me wrong as well. I looked all over my phones options, but am not sure how I can change to Voice-to-Text button in the Galaxy S9+ keyboard to Google Voice, or better more accurate one if there is one better than goggles. I like to swype with my finger to type my messages, but my Note 4 had a much more accurate/better setup for creating SMS and other times that I use the keyboard, but can't or don't want to type. It doesn't save time if I have to go back and fix soooo many typos from it hearing me incorrectly. Plus for some reason, if I start speaking again in the middle of a sentence it ALWAYS capitalizes the word I start with, even though it is in the middle of the sentence. Such a pain as I see no option to turn it off without turning off auto-capitalizing the 1st word of a sentence, which I love and have used for years on many phones.
Thanks,
JewlZ
So if u like Google speech to text, install Google Assistant, then use one of the apps from the themes and apps subforum for this device to re-map the Bixby button. You can then start Google Assistant with the Bixby button.

Depends how you are launching speech to text. if you are launching speech to text using a microphone in the keyboard app, then use settings within that keyboard app or change keyboards (gboard will certainly launch Google STT). if you are launching from Google assistant, then it will again use Google stt.
