Desire Speech to text & Turn by Turn Nav - Desire General

Not sure if this has been covered but came accross this site earlier.
http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/04/add-turn-by-turn-navigation-to-htc-desire/
I know have full voice search on my desire and don't have to type an address in Google maps, I just tell it where I want to go.
Some good tips on the site.

*Sigh*
on the other hand you could use the official Google Maps which has full Navigation.

From that link...
EDIT: Please not that as of today 21/04/2010. Googe HAVE implemented turn by turn navigation for the UK. Simply use the default maps app that came pre-installed on your device to use this functionality.

I think you are missing the point, you can search the destination by voice using the google maps.
The link I submitted has a section to replace the Desire keyboard .apk with a voice search enabled one.

You mean this one?

HD navigation

Hello can anyone help me find free navigation for my HD, i was trying to find on xda but i didint make it thx very much
google maps
thats free...please note not to ask for warez here
thank you
Yeah use google maps, has a position locator and directs you to where ever you need to go, can use post code and everything.. updated every day.
Perfect
Try warez , ofcourse not from this site
Hmm
Try Google Navigator. As I understand it you get basically Google Maps but with turn by turn instructions.
I think you know what I am going to suggest next....do a search on Google for it...lol
H
MS Live Search (Free) has similar functionality to Google Maps and has better coverage for some countries

No Latitude Widget

I made a search but couldn't find a similar topic on xda or Google. I started using latitude today via Google maps but noticed that I don't a widget called "Latitude" on my desire.
Any idea why this is the case ? It should present, right ?
I don't know if there is a specific latitude widget (I haven't found one), but if you go into (google) maps and press the menu button, you get an option for latitude.....
Hope this helps

Yes I am using that, but there is also latitude widget. I found out that the widget comes with the new google maps (v 4.1), however in my country the application is not present in market section due to the licencing ang legal stuff (according to an announcement by google). Which is very odd because I am using google maps w/o problem, workes flawlessy. why can't I update it, beats me ?
I need to find free app maps 4.1 and install it. Hopefully thw widget will come.

[Q] Voice Output Problem

Hi, i have a HTC Desire unroot and unbranded and fully updated to everything that is possibly out for the device. lately for some odd reason when i use apps such as google map navigation or the new google translate (with the sms translate and convo translate) it has been speaking program codes for the google map navigation and for the google translate, especially the asian dialogs and some other language. Currently have the espeaktt selected for voice output, i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the same problem still consist. I don't know if its cause the apps are still in beta or is it just me. If its just me can anyone help me and tell me how to fix this problem?
Thank you
From what I understand of your post it does sound like its a bug in their app. If the app is reading you system code instead of the proper directions. It is most likely a problem inside the app. You should report the issue to the developer via the appropriate channels.

thanks a lot for the info. I just tried the google maps navigation with another voice engine and it was fine so if I'm not mistaken i think its the espeaktt app.

Google Now Doesn't Speak

Please forgive me, I have searched but 'Google Now' isn't a great search term...
Basically, I get no voice feedback when using voice search or the Google Now app on my 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update. Initially I was underwhelmed by Google Now and wondered what the fuss was, until I discovered it should be talking back to me in a Siri-like fashion.
I had the leaked 4.1 I/O release previously and same issue. Language is English and I have voice prompts turned on in the search settings.
Any ideas? It's a Google stock ROM and it never worked, so I really don't know what it could be.
Edit: Nevermind, same discussion here. Too bad there's no time-limited delete functionality here, feel free to delete.
Try this
There is my solution:
- Set your locale to whatever you want
- Set the Google Now Voice Language to English US
- Voice Output to Always
- Remove the tick(untick the box) on Hide Offensive Words
I spent hours of tinkering with this and tried all kinds of options, but in the end that solved it for me. This is because recently there was an update to Google Search, which is the application designation for Google Now and it introduced this bug.
I have my locale to my native one English UK en-GB and everything works like a charm as it should be and as it used to work before the update.

Make sure that you have downloaded the offline speech recognition in English US and maybe try asking something like "What's the time?". It will not talk back to all questions. Only the ones that were specifically pre-programmed. If it still doesn't work, try putting your system locale to English US and restarting your phone. And most importantly update your Talkback, Google Search and Google Voice search apps to their latest through the Play Store.
What I did now officially works on my O2 HTC One S and 3UK HTC One X, so it works for sure on those two.
I hope this helps
