Is it? Ooops sorry, I had no idea. Was too excited to get this working I never even paid much attention to the actual site. *Slaps self*

So does it work just like it works on the nexus one, in any text fields?

"I'm so north of the volcanoes it on the wrong size 12 font size but they don't think this through house and grill the attach to solicit"
I don't think that was quite what I said!

What did you say though?

Woohoo, works perfectly, although a tad slow. Still fun though

Works for me too. Quite interesting all the other apps on that site. But as mentioned. Warez.

How about this one?

It looks nice and only $0.99 ... Anyone can give it a try?

user opinions are not too positive, rather get the original VTT enabled

noob question - first time android user - the only place i found the "Verizon 2.1 keyboard with voice input" file was under the sponsered links - do you have to pay the $1.99 monthly subscription to the download all site to be able to download it or am i missing something?
Thanks heaps

voice to text - "Sim free" -HTC say NO!

i email HTC to ask if the voice to text feature was disabled on the Sim Free version of the Desire and this is the response i got....
Thank you for your enquiry about voice to text.
Well the device does have voice to search via Google, so it should do. The only thing is you'll probably have to install some apps from market on the Device, hope this helps..

So any one with the desire ATM does the above work? (i.e voice to search) i find the answer vague so i have asked for a yes or no answer to the question i asked. i quoted the desirehtc website where it states this feature will be available.
if anyone else has emailed HTC on this subject i would be interested in the response you got.
UPDATE
HTC have now resopnded with a Simple "NO" you will have to use a 3d party App.

no voice search here.
cos it's using the HTC IME, it is missing the microphone key that you get on the Android keyboard to use the voice to text functions.
whoever answered that at HTC obviously didn't have one to hand to check and was probably looking at the nexus....

Afternoon all,
After enabling the 'Voice to Text' as shown on How To Enable Voice To Text using one of the links on page 2 I have now got Google search by voice working on a T-Mobile Desire.
You don't have to change over to using the android keyboard if you don't want to use the main voice to text functionality, but now pressing and holding the search button brings up a pop-up on screen with 'Speak Now - Google Search' and a microphone symbol.
Seems to work fine to me.

works fine for me too.

Maybe it's coming in another update, this is from the htc website desirehtc dot com
" Android 2.1...
What's that all about then?
Launched in January 2010, and known in the trade as Eclair, this is basically an update to the operating system. In laymans terms, it's a sexier looking interface. But it's not quite that simple.
Now, for example, your Wallpapers can be animated, injecting your screen with a new lease of life. This works particularly well with the AMOLED screen.
Rather excitingly, it brings us into a realm where voice-to-text is a reality in all text fields. Imagine sending texts or emails simply by talking to your phone. Now do it, we're there. "

I'm sorry but voice search has always been there...

Cheers mate... great help, 1 more reason 2 love Desire...

Back to my orignal post.....
HTC tell me the voice - search is available by default (i.e not installing any other SW) they say it has to be enabled in settings then it work when using the search key/menu?
any one confirm this?

Actually, I also got a similar answer from HTC. I'm from Singapore though. Thus, most likely it is an unlocked version. My question was:
"Does the HTC Desire support the speech-to-text function out of the box? Does it also support AVI files? Thank You."
This is what i got.
"Thanks for contacting HTC.
For HTC Desire, it does have the function for Speech-to-text, but it doesn't support AVI file.
Thank you for your continuous support of our products and services. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
We look forward to be of service to you again."
From this reply, it seems obvious what the answer is. But the truth, from those who already got the phone, are far from it. I had specifically said out of the box. But, as told by owners, you need to download apps and everything for this function. Just FYI, I do not own the Desire...yet XD

HTC says NO! to voice enabled in default.

Google Navigation for outside of US Work Around

I don't know if this has been mentioned before so if it was, please delete/remove this thread.
EU/UK users can't enjoy some of the 2.1/N1 features on our Desires such as Voice-to-Text and Google Navigation. Fortunately, there are solutions to both. The Voice-to-Text has already been linked and today I found out how we can get Google Navigation too.
Go to the Android Market, search for Nav Launcher and download the application. Lauch Nav Launcher and download Google Maps [brut] ... voila ... Google Navigation for the rest of the world. I tested it and it seems to work in Spain ... i.e. it plots the route and starts talking etc. Will try it properly when I have a chance. In either case, better than no Google Navigation.

Nav works.

Thanks!! I tested Nav Launcher and Google Maps [brut] and it works in London, UK.
Can you please detail as to how to have the voice-to-text working?

tried it an it worked for me. very nice. but i think i stick with co pilot for now.. bit sentimental on my G1 but flys on my Desire. nice cheap alternative anyway. for those who don't have co pilot.

It doesn't work in the Netherlands.

cool thanks, to make it fully work im guessing i have to run the Brut version right? normal maps wont work ?

I tried it out a few weeks ago, worked OK but was gimped in areas. Hopefully an official version with decent maps, voice etc will come out soon.
yes you need the brut maps.
Official site for it is: http://navlauncher.madcowsolutions.com/

So the turn instruction voice does not come way too late?

My experience as well (although on the X10). That, and most of the times the voice instructions were either simply omitted or garbled.
A mistake here was that the software tries to say the name of the street, instead of doing like most other nav-software and simply state "left turn ahead, 100m".

I had the same issue.

Languages & Input
Language
English (United States)
It appears that if you have selected anything else (I had UK) then it doesn't work!

Didn't work
I tried changing the language to english (US) and it still only results in web pages, and does not speak replies.

This is what I did to get voice search results to talk back:
1. Open Google Now and go to settings
2. Go to "Privacy and Accounts"
3. Make sure "Search on google.com" is checked
4. Check if your audio volume is up!

ok i have been through both threads my voice is still not working for me. my search on google.com is checked, im not blocked by my wifi at home, i have gone to the settings and tried to Vol+ everything is up. i have made sure that my phone's settings is all checked off with English US. im using the Google speech, my speech output is always on speak. and i still dont get talk back

Possible fix

This might have already been fixed but I also had this problem with Google now's voice response not working. I somehow got it fixed by:
going into phone settings
select language & input
select text-to-speech output
select Pico TTS as preferred engine
When I got back into my google now app the speech was working.

Can also go to settings
Select accessibility
Select text to speech output
Select Pico TTS

Google assistant doesn't work because of google now (Pixel experience)

Hey guys, I had to switch roms recently ending up on Pixel experience extended (latest build - 21.10.18).
It runs really well and the battery life seems to be amazing already. The only problem is that google assistant isn't really working, I mean not at all.
If you say "ok google" the (old) google now kicks in. There is no google assistant at all, even though the google app is installed as a system app & completely updated.
I've seen some posts about that topic already, yet there is no real solution. It looks like google now is overlaying google assistant: even if I disable google assistant, google now still prevails! Do I need to move files around? Install something? Delete something? I've tried a lot already, still I have no idea how to fix that.
Google assistant should work on Pixel experience... Thanks and have a good one

You need root (+ root explorer) -> find the build.prop in the system folder and edit said line of code. Cheers! :fingers-crossed:
