[Q] Text-to-Speech (TTS) 2.3.3

Hi,
I had some problems with the Text to Speech app.
At first, when I was opening Google Navigation, it was saying that it needs to download text-to-speech, and if I clicked "Skip" it would just navigate with out talking, just making a tone sound every turn.
But if I was clicking the "Install" which suppose to download and install a TTS app that could read out loud the streets name, so instead, it gave an error message of "Sorry the application Maps (process com.google.android.apps.maps) has stopped unexpectedly."
So I tried to solve it out and went to Settings>Voice in&out put> Text-to-Speech Settings, But When I pressed on it, it gave me the same error message of the "sorry the app .... crashed"
So I understand the problem is here so I went to Titanium Backup and uninstalled it (unfortunately didn't backup), the "TTS Service 2.3.3" app.
But now when I go to Google Navigation and make a destination, it crashes immediately with no question of installing the TTS, and no option to navigate..
What shell I do now? I tried to reinstall the Google Maps, ain't working.
Does anyone got this TTS Service 2.3.3 and could he send me it?
I can't find it on market or google search. :\
I am using Ginger bread 2.3.3
ROM: Virtuous Unity 1.29.0 (Ace)
Thanks,
Yarden.

I'm having a similar problem. Trying to use anything with TTS force closes, sometimes it just force closes the TTS app (installed via an apk) and sometimes it crashes the app calling it.
A market search yields nothing relevant and a direct link to it in the market will show the "Not Supported" message.
Inspire 4G w/ CM7-08082011

Hi, I am also having the same issue as above. Any application that uses Text to Speech force closes on me - including the settings menu for voice input and output. I'm using Android Revolution 6.1.3 ROM. Does anyone have any solutions for this at all please? I have tried installing numerous TTS engines but to no avail. Thanks in advance

Get an app that can show you your installed apps (e.g. Titanium Backup). Search for these apps:
* Pico TTS
* TTS Service
* TTS Service Extended
* Voice Search
My guess is that you don't have that second app, TTS Service, installed.
Let me know which of those is on your phone.
I assume you're using the Desire HD/Inspire 4G, yes?

im having the same issue, where can i get the tts service extended apk?

I'll post it later tonight. You can probably find it through Google.

Sorry I took so long w/this. Caught a bug last night; still under the weather.
Backup before you install this. No guarantees it'll work.

That worked for me.

same issue
Hello,
Even I have tried "Settings > Language & Input > Google voice typing", small mic icon on keyboard seems inactive mode. When I have forced to use voice for input by using the setting, it turned back with connection problem. BTW I am using stock rom ICS 4.0.2.
Thanks in advance

I decided to open my data connection and its work. In fact I didn't understand cause when i bought this phone I haven't got any data connection and it was working very good. Anyway my problem has been solved by itself. Thanks

Interesting. This happened to me today as well.
I uninstalled Voice Search because I thought I never used it. I noticed voice typing was gone and after reinstalling Voice Search, I can't get voice typing back.
Voice Typing never appears in the Language and Input menu no matter what I do.
HELP!

Uninstall and reinstall Google Search and Voice. Check the keyboard settings and make sure voice is enabled.

[Q] S-Voice TTS stopped working?

My S-Voice recently stopped speaking to me, insomuch that TTS isn't working. I don't recall changing any settings, but can't seem to fix it.
Device is a Sprint GS3, stock, non-rooted, NOVA launcher.
Any help appreciated!

I'm facing the same issue on International S3. Unable to fix it. Sometimes it uses the native TTS. But that's not the same voice as the original S-Voice Voice..

Go to
Settings--->Application Manage--->All--->S Voice Then tap "Clear Data" and then tap "Force Stop"
Once you have done that, reboot your phone. You should get the initialization screens next time you launch S Voice and the speech synthesis should be back.

Anyone have recent problems with Voice Search?

Voice Search was running just fine, then one day it started acting up (it would just freeze) I use the app called Assistant, which runs through Google Voice Search I assume because it was also freezing up when Voice Search started acting up. I tried un-installing then re-installing voice search, but that was a no go. I re-flashed the ROM I use (FreeGS3) to see if that was the problem, and it was not.

No...But that sounds familiar.

I've been having issues with it saying "no server connection" in full bars of 3g...but nothing like what you're running into. I suppose it could be your ROM, but I don't have that much experience. PA worked fine for me while I had it.

[Q] Google Now voice setup error

Anyone getting this? When setting up voice for Ok Google its giving me "Can't use the microphone. Restart your device" Reboot did not resolve. Only At&t apps disabled. Using Nova or stock launcher still causes erro. I can talk on phone and use speaker phone and if I press google search voice works. I assume restore to factory would resolve but this is my 3rd unit and sick of restoring the device. Thoughts?

Worked perfectly on my G4..
Sadly still no Google Voice Now support in Dutch..
