[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
the robotic voice on Google Navigation is kinda annoying. . .

Untick search from google.com. its somewhere in the google now settings. You can keep the language to US to get a better voice and results
Edit: its under Privacy and Accounts

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:
1. Go to system settings > Language and Input > Language > choose English US
2. When in Google Now press Menu > Settings > Voice > Language > choose English US

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?

if you press the keyboard settings button i.e. the cog thingy. There should be an option to do this

Sorry..what?
If you think about"pen detected"option..already ticked.

I have the same problem as OP. My handwriting recognition option disappeared yesterday. Been trying to find out why all day!!!

The problem might be because your new update has no handwriting recognition of serbian language. Switch keyboard to English and see if handwriting appears.

I use Thumb keyboard. When im alone and texting i generally talk my texts which im loving. hand writting word by word takes too long for me.

Switch keyboard to English UK, then you should get handwriting recognition back OP.

chinese input is not
mine is i could have the handwriting feature in English UK, but after switch to Chinese, the TEXT handwriting icon disappear.

There are a couple of other threads about this. It seems to be a bug in the keyboard. Try this:
Switch to another keyboard.
Go to the Applications Manager, find Samsung Keyboard and delete Cache and Data.
Switch back to Samsung keyboard.
Go to the languages and add only Chinese. Only Chinese should be selected.
Now try to use the handwriting recognition. It should work now.
The problem is that the moment you add one the stock language (I assume English UK on your phone), it hijacks the handwriting recognition and it works only in English again.

Did not work for me. I have a German Note 2 and it handwriting in Swedish does not work. It didn't even work before the update. That's ridiculous since it works perfectly fine on my German Note 1...

[Q] Offline Speech Recognition

Hi all,
Is there any way of setting up offline speech recognition on the One V? I am using Pacman, and the option to download the pack is not on Google Now's menu as it should be.

There's no need to "download" the voice recognition pack. You just need jellybean, voila! You have offline voice recognition. Just tap the mic button on the keyboard and you are good to go...
