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.
Hello there, I've got a question about Google's new Android 4.1.
I am running Jelly Bean on my Galaxy Nexus GSM version without having any problems. But now I wanted to try out so called "Google Now" and ask a few questions like "What is the definition of Robot?"
In Google's demo at I/O 2012 Google Now gave an answer like Apple's Siri, spoke to the user and showed him a card with the definition of Robot.
Now my problem is, that when I ask something, google now just gives me the google search results and doesn't speak to me or give me a card.
Is anyone having the same problems?
Yeah, I'm noticing the same behavior. Sometimes it does work ("how high is the burj khalifa?"), but most of the time it just searches for it. It does work best in English, though. I switched it to German (native language) and I'm having a hard time making it do anything but search on Google.
But oh well, it's not a stable release, so you can't really expect anything. I hope they will be able to iron out most issues before JB goes public.

My native language is German, too. I also tried both, English and German, none of them worked. But well You're right it's not a final release, I am happy with it but I am looking forward to see some Siri-like application on my Nexus. I thought I've missed something in the settings but I guess I am gonna wait for the final release...
Thanks for the reply, greetings from Frankfurt ;-)
I guess I'm glad I'M not the only one with this issue. Cdma Nexus.Let's hope it works better with future development.
Try going into settings\accounts\google then "search" and setting and setting it to "search on google.com" instead of your local google and it speaks lots more
I can't find that option.

I'm having the same exact problem. Mine worked very well for the first few days I was using it, now however it won't talk back to me after I ask it a question. What's also odd is that half way through checking the settings the option for "Hotword Detection" vanished (found in "Google Now -> Settings -> Voice" ). I had to do a battery pull to get it to come back.
I have checked all the other language settings as the other forum post had suggested but still nothing. I'm thinking it must have been some kind of silent update or a problem on the back end because none of my other settings have changed.

I changed my language settings from German to English, everything is working perfectly for me now... Except that google now thinks that I am in Washington instead of in Germany but I guess I can figure out how thinks work.

Same for me, the talk back results worked great until today. I just saw that Google Now got ported to ICS, maybe with a ton more people using the service something got messed up on Google's end? Weird.
I still can't believe how simple they made it. Just open the search app and do a text search for "Okay Google Everywhere." That's it. Go back to your Google Now voice settings and you should see the Ok Google section now has options for detection on any screen and the lock screen

Google Now supports "OK Google" detection from ANY screen in the latest update. To activate it, you have to ENABLE "Audio History" and then ENABLE "OK Google from any screen" in Voice settings.

- The update to Google Search added some really neat functionality... which has stopped working for no reason.
- For instance I could say "play music" and the Play Music app would launch and start playing music.
- Then I could say something like "play next song" or "stop music" and it would execute the command. But it seems they have removed that functionality for some odd reason on the Moto G because I get this audible error "controlling media is not supported on this device"

I had it enabled in my latest stock rom (4.4.4 BR Retail) (Don't know how I did it). I had phantom kernel on it, maybe it had something to do with that.
I reflashed (4.4.4 EU Retail) and can't get it working now. I always use US english for my devices (even tho it tries to push spanish for me because of my location).
I read in an official google's post that Moto G and Moto X were not supported, I think we may get it working if we trick google into thinking this is another device or that is called something else. Maybe an alternative kernel...
Just donwload Google Unleashed.
Install the apk. launch Google Know, Settings > Debug > Languagues, Type the Language to support. Like pt-BR
is working here

That method won't work anymore because Google removed the e300 flags from there.
I think our device supports and definetively is able to use this feature anywhere, but google willingly decided to block this feature because is "an older device" so they force you to get a newer phone (even though you don't need it).
At least with a stock rom, Moto G and Moto X users will have to find a workaround for google's blockade. I think it might be as simple as some deviceID.

sometimes its work.. but sometime dint work. anyone can explain?
To work with your system language, you have to download the correspondent language package. But even with this, it may not be available for your language. I use a PT-BR and it won't let me active this option, so at the moment, it's not available for me.
But if you change your language to English, it will work. Hope more languages become available soon.
This is the official response from google
"This feature is currently unavailable on this device" error: The "Ok Google" on every screen setting is not available formato Moto X or Moto G, and other older Android devices.
Some XT10xx devices are hotword blacklisted and can't even use the most basic feature. I'll search for another blacklist in debug options.

Try:
•Select language in your device "English US"
•Install the Google Now launcher and join Google Now. Type: "OK Google Everywhere" to activate it the features.
•Than feel free to change or use a different launcher.

My Pixel XL has been displaying Russian text dispersed among search results.
I run Android P/5. This was occurring during Oreo also. This phone was an insurance replacement for my Nexus 6P.
Any ideas what's going on?

That looks to be Russian text at the bottom, but isn't that related to your Google search? Wouldn't that be related to your Google search language

Oh it is a good trace function what I'm interested in, in another phone that I have with AOSP keyboard it works flawless, that's what I was interesting in AOSP for G7 but I haven't been able to activate the trace in G7 neither with these options nor even with Google Keyboard. I've also tried AnySoftKeyboard that has the trace function but it's almost useless in practice. So I think I will keep using LG Keyboard, even with all its flaws it turns out it has the best trace function I've found so far (of course that does not mean it's good).
Thanks for your help :good:
I'll get my LG the next days, but i guess I'll use the old Xperia keyboard again. This is by far the best keyboard I've ever used:

Thanks for the feedback. I'm also using it now and yes I like it more than LG's and I think the trace works better
However it is not perfect and it has some drawbacks:
- When the word selected by the trace is not the expected, pressing delete does not immediately delete it as it does the LG keyboard, you have to delete it letter by letter
- When you type letter by letter a word that you want but it is not recognized and the keyboard replaces it by a "valid" word, if you press delete in the LG keyboard, the word that you typed is restored and you can keep writting with your word not modified. In Xperia keyboard you need to delete letter by letter the "valid" word and rewrite your word again and if it is a long word, it is replaced again and your only choice is to add it to your personal dictionary - even if you only want to use in this context and do not want it to be offered as a valid word in general
- And related to this, if you type a not recognized word and then push it to keep it in the text as it is, LG keyboard gives you the choice to add it to your personal dictionary or not, but Xperia always add it to your dictionary
But even with this, yes I prefer it

1. Yes that's true
2. After you typed a nonvalid word just press delete 1 time (to go back to the word) and then you can choose the before written nonvalid word from the upper left of the keyboard.
3. True again
