On my Epic 4G im having an issue. When I use the google voice input app to search it understands everything I say. Speak English to it then it types English. But when I go to text and hit the input button at the bottom ill speak to it in english and it seems its converting it to spanish/italian/ whatever the hell its saying. Already checked voice recognition settings and they are all set to english. Any idea on a Fix or what the issue is?

Basically there are a lot of people with the same problem.
When we hold down the magnifying glass and say "Call someone" the person isn't dialled and instead a google search page is displayed. The search terms on this page are "Call someone"
Its almost as if the phone recognized the word call, but ignored its responsibility to actually call the person, and instead just thinks we want to search google for these terms.
I have a hunch it down to some of us installing the android keyboard to obtain voice input, before another method to obtain the feature was realised.
So my question to you suffering with this....
How did you enable voice input on your desire?

Sometimes it works for me, sometimes it ignores me.
ie sometime I say "dial xxx" and it calls them, other it does a google search. Sometimes I say "directions to xxx" and it opens directions/maps - others it google it again.
Unfortunately saying "what can I say" doesn't tell me anything - what I really need is some documentation on the keywords / commands required but I can't find reference to them anywhere.
Anyone know of any?
Thanks, M1
Press the magnifying glass and say nothing and it brings up search. Say something and the same happens.
Fixed
Maybe it has something to do with the local settings? I can choose the language and country > English(Netherlands), but not English(UK/US) or something..
So yes, I can't get it to work either..voice search 2.1 and android keyboard installed..
Have you actually installed the voice app? You are long pressing the mag key? The voice app mike is coming up?

Is Voice Search 2.1 a more recent version than the one pre-installed in the Desire? When I check my applications I get 'Version 140' under Voice Search....
It isn't pre-installed at all on the Desire, or wasn't on mine. The reason it doesn't work is because it isn't installed (in UK)
Hi
With HOX ICS I was using a lot of Voice Inputting option through mic icon on the keyboard (mainly for texts and e-mails). I have update the phone today to JB and the mic icon disappeared from the keyboard. In Settings/Language & Keyboard I have under Input types: Google Voice Input and HTC Sense input however Google Voice Input is inactive (I can't see any options).
Google Now was activated and can use Voice Inputing is mic icone is next to search box, Voice search installed.
Do you know what's the problem and how I can get the mic icon back next to the space key on keyboard. I'm using two languages: English UK and Polish. System language is English UK.
Many thanks
I'm not exactly a tower of knowledge with this particular issue but try searching either the web or the play store for a different keypad to the one you have installed, it may resolve the issue. Good luck!
Hi
Thanks for your tip. However this should work without any additional keyboard and this kind of solution I'm looking for.
I google it but I could not find similar case with JB
Edit:
I managed to sort this out using your tip. I installed the JB keyboard fro the store and the mic appeared on the keyboard. then I removed the JB keyboard and all is working now fine and Google Voice Input is now active.
Thanks.
This can be now closed.
Hey dude, same problem. In my case (a vodafone AU user), at first my language setting is Chinese and then English (USA) and google voice input were both inactive. It worked after I chose English (AU). And then even if I turned the language back to Chinese, it's still perfect. I guess it's a little bug in sense
I am sure it must be an option, but is it possible for speech to text to work on the Tab S?
i.s I speak my text messages and it types the words for me. I know it works in Google Now, but how about in the other applications, like text messages/facebook etc?
I know my old Desire phone had the option..
I know Swype keyboard has a Dragon speech to text option. I don't know how well it works but it does work with any app.
I think the Google keyboard also has a google voice typing option. Again I don't know how well it works since I never use it.

try the new app Voice Typing Keyboard VTK. it lets you input text anywhere you can with voice. there is no microphone button to push, just say "listen" or "spelling" when in a text field to start dictation. you can move cursor, do editing formatting, insert symbols punctuation etc all with voice too. has an on-screen keyboard too if you need it. since I do most of my typing with voice, so i hide the on-screen keyboard most of the time
Hi
After update to AW2 (Huawei Watch) i can't voice answer as the watch writes random English words when i speak in Bulgarian. At AW1.5 voice recognition was not a problem.
Google settings in phone are bilingual.
Please advise.
Seems like only english is working i have the same problem with my native language
The same here for Slovak. Sadly, looks like voice is strictly mediated via assistant and it currently lacks support for many languages.
The same for virtual keyboard. I have to have auto-correct turned off for me to be able to write in my language. Otherwise it changes Slovak words I type to some close English ones. Frustrating.
Supported Languages? Has anyone been able to use it in Spanish?
"What you need
Assistant voice typing is only available on Pixel 6. It doesn’t work for all languages. To use Assistant voice typing, make sure Google Assistant is turned on."
Please share in which languages this function It's working
I have not been able to make it work in French (FR).
As far as I know, the "new" voice typing only works in English, every other language (like German, French, whatever) reverts back to the "old" voice typing (whenever the new voice typing activates, the microphone symbol in GBoard switches to this google-ish blue-red-yellow-green color profile)

I just checked the German Pixel 6 Pro Google Store page, and they do not advertise the new assistant there.
