I know there are some threads out there already but they deal more with S2T.
I have a Desire with standard ROM (the same kernel, build, sw numbers that I've seen in some posts here already)
In the settings I have enabled T2S and the sample is spoken back clearly but I cannot find how to have the phone read my mail, sms or web pages, there is no menu icon or anything, can someone who has it working post a screen or explain it?
The only difference I can tell with other Desires is probably that mine has the option to have Dutch screens, menus and dictionaries.
For example in the (Settings/Lang.&Keyb)/Language locale I have selected English (Netherlands), I could have it in Dutch, French or German.
Perhaps T2S was removed because it is not possible for Dutch yet but English would be fine for me as most of my communications are English anyway.

(I'm gona need a new login )
I've been trying to work this out too...
I don't think anything in the default firmware uses it (can't find anything), but it is needed for apps such as Voice ID Caller that won't work unless TTS is installed. A real shame.
TTS is indeed not used by any of the default applications, but there are many applications in the market that will use the TTS functions.
I think SMS popup will read the texts when it is all installed.

Hi fellows,
First-of-all appologies if I am asking this question again.
I have recently upgraded the OS in my Orbit and now its WM-2006 from O2, I have clearly remember that I have used ""Voice activation"" or ""Voice Tag"" software to link my few contacts to voices, on that day once I was tagging the contacts in that same software there was also the option to voice tag the software or commands to setup, and just for trial I have tagged TomTom to run through the voice command. Since after couple of days I am trying to search that facility but no-way I can find that software. That voice Tagging software is completely gone missing.
Can anyone help, I dont wanna install third party software for voice tagging.
Sid
The Dopod SEA Rom doesn't feature the Cyberon voice dialler software, which I personally hate anyway - Microsoft Voice Command (v1.6) is SO much better, though I do realise you said you don't want 3rd party apps.
I know that the official O2 WM6 ROM does have what you're after, but that's OS v3.4 compared to the Dopod which is v3.7, if that bothers you...

It works perfectly. After installation you only have the speelddial settings icon added in your settings menu. You have to manually make a shortcut to the activate file: \windows\sddialer.exe.
Thats all!
Thanks for the replies, anyway I found the software came by default in 2006, basically this software seems like to works with all the option only once (first time) when there is no Voice trained for anything, and later-on if you want to add another voice command for any other APPLICATION then it doesn't start in that specific mode (or may be I couldn't figure-out), This software is from a company called ""Cyberon"" ( http://www.cyberon.com.tw/speeddial.htm ), Attached picture tabbed screen doesn't appear again after you tag 1st voice command (doesn't matter for contacts or application).
I have also tried Microsoft Voice Command software but according to their reputation I personally feel that that software is the most crapiest software for voice recognition.
So according to my experiment use the default software, write a list of your daily use software and then voice tag them on the first time, otherwise you have to delete all the voice tags including contacts, or may be you have to hard-rest your Orbit to tag your softwares. e.g TomTom
Thanks

1st time u can use the normal activation tag (sddialer.exe). If nothing is stored (1st time) u can add contacts of software. If u want 2 add anything later, u go 2 setttings and then personal, there u can find a icon to the screen you want.
I am sorry Twiggerdingo what are you trying to explain, couldn't get it. 2nd of all the link you have given is not working at all

sorry my english isnt that good, not my native language. I wil try again.
install the cab.
Then you look ok the ppc "start, settings, personal", you will see a icon named Voice Speed dial. The you can set your contacts and voicecommand.
To execute voice speed dial, you have to make a shortcut to the file sddialer.exe. This file is in the \windows directory on your ppc.
Cant be more specific!
File is uploaded again, try the link now (be4 its gone again).
Hi guys, I have a touch HD in English. However im currently in china and would need to have it read chinese characters.. Does any one know how to make it recognize the chinese characters?
THanks!
A good programme I've used for a long time is CE-Star from Mobem Technologies (http://www.mobem.com/products/CE-Star.php). It will enable the display of Chinese characters on Windows devices and also give you the ability to write in Chinese via pinyin or hand writing recognition.
Not sure of a freeware solution or alternative methods.
One point to note if installing CE-Star is that it may automatically adjust your regional settings to the PRC. This will make some programmes change their menus into Chinese (e.g. Google Maps). If this happens just change the regional setting back to an English based country setting and Google Maps, for example, will change back to English.
Hi Guys, just got my Desire today, so far i,m impressed but for one problem.I live in Australia, I bought the fone from China, I either need to find out how to turn of predictive text in SMS/MMS messaging and Google search, or chnge the language pack. Although I have english language on the fone, I have (english Taiwan) (english malaysia) ect ect but no english Australia , USA or any other English speaking country.
How do I change this, I want to rid the fone of the extra un needed language packs or whatever HTC calls them. Its a real pain trying totype an address in Google search and having to tap the so called predictive text alternative.
Please help guys.
Other than that I,m statring to like this thing, I come from Iphone 3Gs so things are slightly different, and guess what, I now have reception in my home.

And exactly where would one find this file, I googled it, and guess what, Google directed me back to this post
It's actually called "More Locale 2" and you find it on the Market.
My text-to-voice language is set to UK english and I have also enabled the 'force programs to use this choice' option yet the navigation app still uses the american english voice.
Anyone else seeing this on the desire?
Maybe the uk choice is not installed?
Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
Both UK and US English packs seem to be installed and are available as language selections. The 'listen to an example option' indeed correctly uses the UK english voice, but google navigation refuses to honour that choice... Does anyone know where maps stores its language choice as it seems to ignore the 'voice input and output' settings?
(this is on close-to-stock gingerbread ROM with maps v5.8.0)
I had the same problem - it's annoying having a robot tell you what to do, even worse to have an American robot bossing you around.
After a lot of tinkering, the problem seems to be that Navigation gets confused if your global language and your text-to-speech language aren't the same. So you need to change your global language to English (UK) in Menu / Language and Keyboard / Select Language. The trouble is, the stripped down Gingerbread for HTC Desire doesn't have English (UK) as an option - only English (US). So you also need to run a little app called "Any Locale, a switching widget" (by leohoo) available free on the market, to let you select English (UK).
Once you have selected English (UK) as your global language, you can actually delete the "Any Locale" app to save storage space.
And ta-da! Annoying English robot is back.
Thanks, it does look like a Google Maps bug, but this works....
UK language
@ SolentUK
THANKS a bunch for that app info! Finally got rid of that American [email protected]%.
It's ok. I can say that. I'm American.
I love the British accent. It sounds just like Ferb from Phineas and Ferb.
Yeah, I like to watch cartoons.... still.
Speech in Navigation is stuck
OKay. Here's the scenario.
Got tired of U.S. female robot very quickly.
Selected English UK whch sounds like Ferb from Phineas and Ferb, if you watch Disney...
Had to use Any Locale to switch to the English UK
Work for a few days, then intermittently went back to U.S. Female robot.
Downloaded SVOX and the voice Oliver UK. He worked for weeks.
All of a sudden now, when I start Navigation(Google) the only things Oliver says is "50 feet". Tthen in about 20 seconds or so, he repeats "50 feet. 50 feet."
Reset all of the language inputs and even tried using different languages. Still Oliver comes on and says "50 feet."
Uninstalled SVOX and Oliver. rebooted phone, but still Oliver comes on saying, yep. you guessed it, "50 feet".
Tried resetting languages ifor the default and langauge inputs and text to speech...again and used Any Locale. Nope!
I know that Google Nav can be buggy a little, but c'mon!
Any help is welcome. I'm excellent at navigating and reading maps. Don't need a GPS, but damn it! It's supposed to be a feature that works, therefore I want to use it. It makes a fun toy.
I Have a problem with the built-in Notes App. When creating a note, the default justification of the text is from right to left (probably for arabic users), even though I am only using the english keyboard.
Preferrably, the APP should detect the keyboard type and change justification based on the language, and allow an option to quickly change.
See attached pic for reference.
Anyone else facing this issue? Is there a way to set the default justification for new notes to Left to right?
I tried changing the keyboard, English only, Arabic English, French, Swift Key. I even changed the system language from English to French, but still every new note starts with right to left formatting.
My device details:
HTC One X (Quadcore)
Android Version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense: 4.0
Software Number: 1.28.415.9
HTC SDK API Level: 4.12
HTC Extensions: HTCExtension_403_1_GA_7
already tried a reboot?
Yes I have restarted the phone. Only thing I haven't tried is to do a factory reset.
I wonder if this is isolated to phones sold in this region (Middle East). I will test the sample phones on display at the store and post my findings here.
This issue is small and insignificant, but hopefully this post can be useful to others
