Speechsyntheis - Wildfire General

How can I get speechsynthesis working so I can use google voice search etc? Cm7 used to have it working automatically but not anymore and I can install it from market. I mean it installs it but then says it's uninstalled after a while.

Well, it's supposed to work like this: you press the mic button on the search box, it says the app isn't installed and it redirects you to the market. Then after it's installed it shows a couple of suggested searches. There's nothing to install besides "Voice Search" to make it work.

that will not work..... I have to voice seach in google nav. and my seach bar does not have it as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=667387
Not available in Canada currently because it only supports English.
found how to get it.. just do a seach on google for "com.google.android.voicesearch.apk" and download and install and it works.. copy it to your SD card to install it.
nevermind it just crashes out. worked on my x10 tho
here this version works
hmm... if you are talking about the Bell version it comes in the stock ROM
it's labelled as "Voice Dialler"
but it is not only voice dialing, when you speak to it, it comes back with search results for both software and contacts, if you execute either one, it launches the app, or it dials the contact

thanks it does work
Earlier today I change the sell code to english and ta-daaa: voice search appeared. I'm actually looking for a way to get rid of it right now
You lose all your data though. So if you're gonna try it, go ahead and back up. I use Titanium back up (I don't love it, though: you have to stay by the phone waiting to give the green like* everytime an app is being re-installed).
EDIT: *light
sell code?...
Hmmm, maybe that's not its name. Anyway: *#272*HHMM# change HHMM for your local time, so if it's 12:30 it should look like: *#272*1230#.
Once there, check the codes http: //samsung-firmware . webs . com / samsunglettercode . htm (remove blanks) and apply the english one.
i get only this page when i google sell code samsung... so i'm not sure if such a thing exist.
anyway the 272 trick doesn't work on my i9000.

Thanks,
Market didn't have "google commands" but it had "voice commands". Voice commands was listed as free but when i clicked on the link it said "not found"
I tried both appbrain and android market.
Anyone have the apk for voice command or google command?
I'm not exactly sure why voice input was removed, probably a combination of the fact that it doesn't support french and also that Samsung stripped out the default android keyboard (which has the microphone button) and replaced it with 2 far superior keyboards: their own, and swype. I guess that's the one downside of swype is you don't get the voice input button.
However Samsung did include Vlingo for free (I'm aware that Vlingo has since become free for all phones since the updated google voice commands were announced for froyo). Vlingo is actually far better than the google voice input (at least for 1.5-2.1) as it gives you commands as well as the text entry. You can also setup the Vlingo keyboard which is essentially the stock Android 2.1 keyboard including the mic button.
From what I can tell it detects words just as well as the google service. Vlingo lets you put widgets of any size (1x1 to full screen) so this kinda makes up for the missing mic button on the google search widget.
I would imagine when the 2.2 update comes out we will have the google function back with multi language support and commands!
well Nirvana388 beat me to it, i was going to recommend Vlingo as well

Thanks, but Vlingo requires internet right? My old phones had voice recognition without the requirement of internet.
Ravi84m suggested "google commands" because it doesn't require internet??

[Q] Can't find app "Voice Actions Plus" on Market

I'm trying to download either Voice Actions Infinity or Voice Actions Plus from my phone, currently running Hurricane ROM 1.6. I can find it fine in the web market, and I try to install it from there, but nothing shows up on my phone.
I also try to find it on my phone's Market and it just doesn't come up in any search I do.
I don't have problems downloading anything else, nor have I ever hit this issue before.
Any ideas? Maybe has to do with running the EH17 leak?
Initiating the install from the web market didn't work for me, but I was able to find and install just fine via the Market app on my phone.
You can't even find it? This may be a dumb question, but did you search for just "voice actions" ?
(I didn't try Voice Actions Plus because I didn't want to spend money just to test. Infinity worked fine though.)

Yep, I tried "Voice Actions", "Voiceactions", "Voice Actions Plus", "Voice Actions Infinity", "Pannous" (the developer), etc. Apps come up, but not what I am looking for.. I get Google Voice Search, etc.
I downloaded Appbrain and found it through there, but it says the app is not compatible with my phone... my girlfriend's stock EC05 Epic can download it just fine... hmm...
I'm on an EC05 rom too, so I'll bet that's it. Maybe it's Froyo only, or maybe the Market doesn't like EH17.

Dunno. The app's web market page says it supports anything above Android 1.6... and I never hit this issue before, except when very explicit (like searching for Tegra games on my non-Tegra phone, etc.).
Oh well. I wonder if I can install the free version's .apk file in the mean time... but I can't find it
it's called "voice agent".
I am on the same situation, a running. Eh17 and a can't. Find the application. Can some one please. Help my

Help installing old ISC search app - no voice search

I wanted the old, ICS style google search where you tap on the widget, type, and are taken straight to your browser.
I downloaded a googlequickboxsearch.apk, changed permissions to rw-r-r, and installed to system/app, then i removed velvet.apk (the jellybean google search app) & rebooted.
Upon restart, it mostly works- i can click on the widget and type straight to my browser. But, the voice search does not appear to work now. When i click on the mic (on the search widget) most of the time some text pops up saying "app not installed", but sometimes it will direct me to the play store to download the app.
The play store shows voice search as "installed", yet when i click on it's entry from the play store there is no option to open/update/uninstall.
To remedy this, I tried to install voicesearch.apk 2.1.4 (i believe this is the latest version) into system/app, but it will not install.
Can someone please help me with this? I really prefer the old ICS style search (as i have no use for Google Now) but also dont wan to gimp the search functionality of my phone either. Thanks

No sound from Google Search. Fire HD 10

Rooted, installed Nova, disabled all Amazon bloatware. Kindle working great, only issue is Google Search will not respond with a voice. I'll ask what the weather is and it simply displays the result without telling me with the voice "It's 100 degrees and sunny." I'll ask using the mic button/Voice Search "who won the allstar game", no sound, no voice, just displays the answer. Have the latest google installed, playstore working fine, framework, etc. Got everything updated.

It's a bug in the Google app. I had the same issue with past updates. Whatever that last update did they broke the sound again.

I figured it out. Turn on Nova in accessibility options. Then say ok google.
I followed your directions and OK Google now works. I also hear the beep, but it still will not respond through a voice telling me what the weather is, or who won the ballgame. It just displays the information on the search app. Again no voice telling me if it's going to rain, or who won last night's game, Etc. I greatly appreciate you looking into this. So do you think it's still a glitch? I really like to hear the voice telling me stuff, I'm too lazy to read the info, LOL.

Tap Google app > three lines bottom right > settings > voice. Make sure speech output is on. Also make sure you have offline speech downloaded. From there tap settings under assistant at the top > tablet and make sure thats all set.
Speech output is on, offline speech is downloaded in US English, I turned on Nova and accessibility settings, and it definitely turns on and beeps when I say OK Google but I still do not get a voice response when I ask any question. The Google app isn't your default Assist app. I'm getting that are on the Google Voice match settings. I have already deleted Alexa completely from the phone. Using ES File Explorer Pro, with root. I have also enabled Google through ADB and disabled Alexa through ADB.

You need to follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/guide-enable-google-assistant-ok-google-t3740145
You basically need to download settings database editor and make the edits to secure settings. Make sure to grant settings database editor the proper permissions.
Thanks Dragonfire, started with a brand new Kindle from scratch. I accidentally bricked my old one. Long story short I started with a new Kindle HD 10, rooted, installed all the Google apps, followed all of the directions from the guide... I still do not get speech output, the Google voice does not give me the answer that I asked for. Only displays the answer. Maybe it is a glitch as you originally suggested. I disabled Alexa as the guide says, and I was able to do the voice match and everything. Google does not speak the answers. I only get the famous Google beep. And that's it. The sweet lady Google Voice stays silent.

Sorry I can't help more. I've not had this issue aside from the sound issue i had mentioned earlier, which was fixed by activating nova in accessibility.
