Dear android devs,
Please make an app that uses a combo of speech to text and google translations, and than it reads back out. I.e say hello in english into phone, user selects eng-spanish, phone says hola

Umm, that already exists. Its called Google Translate. If the speech input option is not present, you need to install Voice Search from the Market.
does anyone here know an app which can convert a picture with text (e.g.my textbook's snap) to text ??
https://market.android.com/search?q=ocr&so=1&c=apps
the correct term is OCR
Optical character recog..
Click the market link above ya..
i haven't tried any app though.
Google docs does it. It works fine for me.

google goggles can do it
ABBYY BCR has a very good OCR engine, supports latin, cyrillic, chineese, arabic and other scripts. But it is specifically made for business cards, never tested it with pure text.
Google Googles is a cloud application while ABBYY BCR is offline.
Hi, i've been searching the nexus forum through but haven't found any solution that would work on my tablet.
My problem is this: i bought the UK nexus 7 and am using it in the scandinavia. whenever i try to assign a voice command like "set alarm to 21:30" or "show pictures of cyanogenmod", it just does a google search and shows the results. I can't see any of the cards nor can i use any of the voice commands.
I tried switching the tablet language to english (US and UK) and install all the offline voice recognition libraries. I've also gone through the google now setup and allowed all location information etc.
In another thread it was suggested that i should get a trial of google apps for business and from there switch on the google one for my tablet, but this seems completely ridiculous (and it won't solve the fact that also the voice commands are not working).
Does anyone have a hint on what i should try next to get the commands to work and cards to show?
Works for me when it finally understands me. Settings are English US and it will play tracks, tell me the weather, search apps and set alarms from what I've tried so far.

the problem here is not that it would not understand me. the problem is that it understands completely well the sentence "set alarm at 21:30" but it does a google search of it! whatever command i try from the google voice commands list at google help center, it just does a google search. it does not set alarms, it does not show pictures of androids, it does not show me a weather card. i just get a google search result for "weather in xyz"
i find this puzzling

I'm in the UK, but as long as the device region is set to US (Settings > Language & Input), it works fine. I can say "remind me to drop a coil at 8 O'Clock tomorrow" and I get an alarm set, or "Show me pictures of black cats", and lots of kittehs come up...
You lot not downloaded the UK English pack?
That's strange, if I'm using the french command for "Open Gmail" for example, it does a google search of "open Gmail". I even tried the english sentence, and it does the same thing.
I changed my phone language, tried "Open Gmail", it does a google search and then, says Opening apps and Gmail starts !
I'm using CyanogenMod 10.1 M1
AW: Voice commands and google now cards not working in EU
You have to change the system language too.

I know that, but I don't want. Is it a bug, is there plan to correct this ? Is it a Google issue or is it CM ?

It's not a bug, it was meant like this. Google now needs that you use a us or Canadian English as the system language. I would like that there was one in French though.

Even though 'Language and Input Settings' have something to do with this, you also need to change 'ACCOUNTS AND PRIVACY' settings in Google Now settings. You need to enable 'Google location settings'. If already enabled, try also switching on 'Google Location Reporting' > 'Location Reporting' > it should be 'On for this device'. Hope this helps!
Hi,
I am rooted and running Glazed ICS 1.1.1 on my Nexus 7...
I just can't get Google Voice Search to answer any of my command by something else than a Google Search. For example, if I ask "What's the weather like in Miami" it simply search Google for "What's the weather like in Miami".
Any idea?
Thanks!

I had the same problem, just go to settings, language and input and change it to English (US version), than go to voice search, language and change it also to English (US version), than go to tech-to-speech output, than Google tech- to- speech setting and change also to english(US version)
Hope I could help

Quick question about chrome on my nexus 4.. I recently changed system language to spanish, used this for a while, then changed it back.
Now the problem is, that even though chrome itself is in english again, many pages show up with their language setting set to show the spanish version. It's especially in incognito tabs, for example, i open a google search on incognito mode, and it will redirect me to the spanish google page and show mainly spanish-relating results.
Any idea how to change this? It's pretty annoying.
Does nobody know how to fix this?
