[Q] Google Nav : no voice indication? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've got a french SFR version of DHD, with stock rom.
So pico TTS is already installed and it seems to work when i ask a sample text.
But when I go to google navigation, with sound enabled, I get absolutely no voice indication... Does anyone have this kind of issue? this app is quite useless without that.
I can still use htc navigation premium (with turn by turn indications working by the way), but I was a bit surprised that google nav wasn't able to do it...
Thanks for your help if you have a clue...

This morning I've made a test on a Desire (not HD) with a colleague:
Same issue : no voice indication in Google nav...
Does it really work in other Rom than english ones? How?

I'm in the same boat. I installed SpeechSynthesis ENG-USA Voice from the market and after that I lost Google Nav voice.

[RECOMMEND] Voice Dialer on 2.2

Hi everyone,
I've tried searching but just get custom ROMS popping up.
Can someone recommend a good voice dialer that works over bluetooth also. If its still good but doesn't work on bluetooth please also say (but state in post).
I've tried Totalvoicecontrol and Choicedialer but they don't recognise me very well. Had Cyberon Voice Speed Dial on WM6.5 but nothing from them on Android
Would like one where I can program it to my voice control rather than it trying to recognise me.
Thanks.

Is it possible to use Bluetooth voice daling?

Is it possible to use Bluetooth voice daling? I can't find how to do this.. Does anyone know how?

Use choice dialer, there are free and paid versions. May require a reboot before use.
Does that app use the voice recognizing software of google? Or does each app has its own?

All I know is it works wonders. It does pronounce the names of my friends like the google one does, though, so it may just be using Google's recognition.
I've installed the app, but the button on my bluetooth headset is still not working.. Using the search button on my phone does work, but touching your phone is illigal while driving in the Netherlands.
Is there a way to use the buton on my headset to start voice dailing?
ps: I'm really disapointed that this feature isnt part of the stock software. It's a big miss on such a high-end phone!

I have to agree, however the app is working for me on a Jabra bt handfree, out of curiosity have you rebooted the phone after installation?

I did a fast reboot and that didnt help. After you message I did a battery pull and now choice dialer works just like you sad.
Just too bad that this app has a hard time understanding all my Dutch names.. This solution is far from perfect to me, but thank for you help anyway!!
I really don't get why the original voice recognition software is only used to search google Why would anyone want to use google hands-free? You will have to use your fingers immediately after the search anyway.
When designing a phone, I think your main focus should be on making a perfect phone, after this you can add loads of extra's which hardly anyone is ever going to use!
I'm still searching for a way to use the build-in voice recognision to make calls with bluetooth..
Anyone??
Hi,
I'm interested too with this feature.
Idool, did you find a solution ?
No, sadly I did not.. I'm still hoping to find a solution. Are you looking for a dutch version as well?

No, i'm French.
I found "Cyberon Voice Commander", the 3.0 release works on Android plateform and it's multilanguage (i didn't find Dutch). But there is no trial, you must pay 5€

Probably possible with Windows 7.

Yes, but that won't help us...
If you're trying to say that voice dialling should be a stock feature on a cellphone, than I totally agree. Especially such a hi-end device!!

It is with Froyo and Nexus devices, the APK is called "Voice Dialer" : http://www.mediafire.com/?912je0f8fta72b2
But does not work with our DHD, or maybe in puting in the rom before flashing it (with rom cleaner tool for exemple, i did not try yet)
I don't use bluetooth headsets currently however I do use a program called Vlingo which is very good at recognising voice, their description also say it works with bluetooth:
Vlingo InCar offers (Part of the Vlingo app):
* Voice-driven, hands free initiation – Vlingo enters listening mode upon Bluetooth® connectivity
* Voice driven, hands free initiation using a “wake up word”
* Conversational user guidance instead of a touch screen
* Ability to send and respond to messages, make calls and get directions using only voice commands
It can be downloaded free from the market and for mee the voice recognition seems to be far more accurate when compared to Google Voice.
Does it work in French ?
Did you try cyberon voice commander?
Edit: i tryed cyberon voice commander and vlingo and i use only vlingo now. It's great app, absolutely handsfree for voice dialing with bluetooth hf.

Does Vlingo work with the bt headset button? Voice Search doesn't seem to work, since I've tried it.
best regards

[Q] Voice instructions google navigation

Hi there,
Does anybody know how to activate voice instructions using the Google navigation app? I tried today, it navigates good, but I get no voice instructions. Volume was set to max. I can't seem to find settings for voice navigation anywhere in the app.
Couldn't find an answer searching this great forum.
Thank you.

does google support VOICE NAVIGATION in your country???? it doesn't support VOICE NAVIGATION in many countries like mine, India, its useful for basic ROUTING function.
or you can use the Locations App from your DHD with Premium navigation license (has to be purchased), that'll provide you voice navigation.
hope that answers your query.
I have used it before but not with the navigation app
Yes, google does support voice guidance in the Netherlands. However I can't seem to set it anywhere. Navigation volume was set to max. I really wan't it to work, because further it works amazing. Have already latest version of google maps. Also tried to empty the cache which didn't help either...
Ok I now discovered that the voice only works when my phone is not connected to my radio via bluetooth, very strange! I would still like to receive calls while navigating..

using headset with voice search

Hello,
First android phone here. Loving the voice search for sending texts, setting alarms, etc. Is there a way I can make it work with a bluetooth headset? I can't even get regular voice dial to work.
I am sure there are 3rd party apps that will work, but I really like the one from Google, it works _so_ much better than all the 3rd party ones I tried on my iPHone, and I like it's simplicity.
The voice dial button on Jawbone doesn't work. I even tried installing Jawbone companion software. If I launch the voice search app and speak into headset, it is still trying to pick up voice from the phone mic.
It is a stock international if that matters. (so bizarre they didn't just come up with a new model to differentiate the NA and Int'l versions).
THanks,
~S
i've been trying to follow this issue from april, when i received my one x (int'l, stock, taiwan manufacture, seems to be uk version). no joy yet. i did read in passing in one thread that htc is supposedly aware there is an issue with blue tooth voice dialing (and presumably search) and has said it is working on it. but i'm not holding my breath.
I'm glad it's not just me!
I just bought the HTC hands free kit (CAR V100) and it's advertised a having voice dialling/voice command as well as announcing callers names.
Buggered if I can get either to work.

Been trying to solve it since with SGS1, SGS2, now with HOX. Guess I need to write my own app. All I was able to find out was this app:
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=cyberon&c=apps (look for cyberon in play store)
works quite nice but only with its own commands, still no option to use google voice search via BT.
Does anyone know if this is working on any of the custom ROM's?

change the voice of my GPS

hi,
i would like to change the voice of my GPS , the wife who give the help to find my road in the gps is completly horrible !!
is there a way to just change the voice ..??
I assume you mean the voice of the googlemaps lady. Every navigation has his own voice. Tomtom software can change the voice. But I too love to change the googlemaps women.
Yep get a new wife thats my tip.
There is a program that does this. Costs money.
Called assistant by speaktoit.
Epic4GT with different ROMs every few days. Thanks Devs!
