My google now changed voice from a chick into a guy? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Anybody else's Google now voice. Changed?
I haven't messed with any settings or anything like that but my Google now voice is all of a sudden a guy instead of my sexy speaking assistant.
I'm in UK.
Is there a way to get the woman's voice back. I don't want a dudes voice lol

have you tried playing with settings-language and input- text to speech ?

Change language to English U.S.

Go to settings>language & input >text to speech output>settings>language > U.S.
DONE. Enjoy your phone with a girl voice.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^

I want the opposite.. I really want my google now voice to have a posh british accent, but I'm stuck with the plain old american lady.
I tried language & input > text-to-speech output > google text-to-speech engine settings > language to UK, but it's still the same broad.
I tried changing the language in the google now settings itself with disastrous results.. with it set to UK English, the phone just flat out could not understand me AND it was still the lady voice.

Google now is America only, which sucks *ss. No speech for other countries.

[Q] Alternate (beeter voice) for TTS and google navigator??

Anyone know of and how to install better voice for TTS and google navigation..
Please help. The default voice stinks.
Loquendo TTS Susan is MUCH better than the default voice... (In the market, 4.99 euros).
I find the included British voice to be much more pleasant.
how do you install or change to the British voice?

on my Incredible (2.2 leaked) it doesn't have the option, it only has either English or Spanish.
Would be nice to install some better voices like Garmin and TomTom have

that would be awesome.
British english is pretty great *shrugs*
What is strange is that if you don't have one installed, the voice is perfect, but it's limited, and miles are km, etc. I was surprised it worked without installing voice synthesis, but it did.

Loquendo TTS Susan, Is about as good as you can get right now. It's availble on the market, but it does cost.
i think she's foxy
There was an eSpeak voice that was pretty amazing, but even set to American English it would use metric units.
Somehow I've buggered it up though, and can't seem to get it back. Now for eSpeak all I have is this horrid robot voice.

I automatically tune out the voices of women when they speak, especially when giving directions, so its difficult having only a woman to choose from with android.

lmao That's awesome dude
I really like svox. The main app is free and the voices are a couple bucks each. You can get US/UK/(maybe) Australian English, male and female. It's on the market. Works well for navigation and other stuff, like reading your email aloud in LauncherPro.
How did u guys get the voice to talk in nav. Mine won't talk just shows directions

Google Now Commands
Google Now works with network (and GPS) on all the time. To activate, long press home button and 'G' point (the middle button), use menu and parameter, here you can active google now. You must also activate Search history in your google account or google now parameter.
After you activate google now, on parameter you have new entry for what to use.
Google now is a sort of assistant, he can show you the wheater based on your location, the next appointment based on the calendar, the next show, based on your internet search, and so on.
But there is no widget, so it's as useful as it's intend to be.
When i want to send email,,nothing,,google now just open google search with text ..send email etc...So how to send emails with voice?
Tnx
In fact for me works only google search with voice and weather card.

There are 2 locations I changed the language:

Try AIVC (Alice) from google play its free it works exactly the same as s voice but I think its much better it does what your after and sends emails or sms or makes calls sets alarms checks weather etc all by your voice.
Just install it and double tap the home key to activate.
Anygood?

Note7 won't stop blocking Offensive words...

I have it unchecked in google but it won't stop?
Sent from my SM-N930V using Tapatalk
Are you trying to block it in the voice search, or keyboard?
Also I feel like the easiest solution would be to not use offensive words. What words are you even using?
The problem I'm having is even mild words like damn get blocked out and yes sometimes I would like to use more aggressive language in text messages the problem seems to live with Samsung's voice input if I switch over to the Google keyboard which utilizes Google voice input I don't have this problem. And I cannot find a setting in Samsung voice input to turn off the blocking of offensive words.

Couldn't you just type it out? Don't use S Voice much so I'm not much help, lol
I checked earlier and you're right. There's literally no option that I can see, sorry I can't help more.
Yeah that's what I kind of was seeing myself as much as I do like the Samsung keyboard I will just have to use the Google keyboard which allows me to use the Google voice input

Found that setting easy it's the same one that's in the Google app setting the problem is the Samsung voice to text that the Samsung keyboard uses doesn't have a setting to turn off the filtering

I'm dropping 800 on a communication device. Regardless of what others think (" I feel like the easiest solution would be to not use offensive words. " )- If I want to insert an obscenity, I should not be restricted in doing so. To the initial post -- yes, I am seeing this as well. It's sad that something so trivial irritates me. If this was something from Fischer Price, perhaps it would be warranted, but the fact remains, it is not and if I want to call somebody a *insert derogatory term* smoker or "Mother ******", I should be able to.
Solution -- download the Google Keyboard. I did it and this ridiculous scenario goes away. Next thing would be to find out a work around to the Live wallpapers. *sigh*
