[q] pico tts - Acer Iconia A500

I have a custom rom Stryke from Civato, it is excellent, stable and fast. The only problem is that it is installed with "google voice Text to speech engine" and when I use Mantano Reader that it comes with a text aloud reader does not do anything. When I use another Rom that comes with PICO TTS by defect works like a charm but I want this app works with my TEXT TO SPEECH as well as Stryke Rom. Believe me I have read many threads but nothing similar found so far. I have installed Pico TTS manually but does not work neither. Any ideas or suggestions.

Now it is possible
Now it is possible to use this TTS app thanks to Civato who posted the flash app to do this through CWM. here is the direct link to download for any person who needs it.

[Q] HD2 Voice Search Problem

Hello everyone,
I downloaded and installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272440 (Android 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 NAND) this rom on my HD2 but I can not using voice search. I searched a lot but nothing find. When I go market voice search for download it says your device doesn't supporting this object, I found apk file somewhere and installed it but it runs so slow and doesn't recognise my voice.
If I speak slowly it returns something "you wanted to say .... " but when I speak normally it says "I didn't hear your voice"
I tried clearing voice search app cache and disable personalised voice search and remove my voice records on my google account but it is still not working .
Thanks for help.
Urm, not sure, maybe it's the 3.0 build that doesn't work well with Voice.
Or maybe your mic sensitivity is too low (yes some builds have that)
But seriously I don't know much about 3.0 bro.. perhaps you should move on to another ROM if it's really bugging you
thanks for reply. But sometimes I need it. I guess I am going to change my rom

No offline speech recognition on android 4.1+, what to do?

Hello everyone,
I tried to install different ROM's, but none of them had the option "download offline speech recognition" in Settings->Language & input ->Voice search
I also updated the app to the new version, but nothing has changed.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
I don't really use this speech thing. But in most cases, when I install a ROM I see an option during installation for "Offline google now" or something like that. Try to select that option and see what happens. Good luck.
You have to download Offline speech recognition first. Here's how:
Go to settings> Language and Input> Google voice tying's settings> Download offline speech recognition, then select any language you want to download for offline speech recognition. That's all.

Oops, my bad. I apologize for it. Thanks for pointing it out!
@glaciuse, I think the roms you installed doesn't support offline speech recognition then.
@Marvlesz, thanks for the idea, I'll definitely try it, but I usually check all the options when installing the ROM and now I do not remember the option like "Offline google now". Of course, I could overlook it, will have to check it out
@D4nyal, I've tried a lot of the latest JB v4.1 + ROMs and nowhere was this option :/
Now I installed android 4.2 on Virtual Box and there also is no such menu option. It seems to me that just don't have packet for that.
For this option, I need something in addition to Google search packet?
Solutions
some options to use:
1) use IVONA TTS engine (it also lets you recognize speech offline) it reqires 150 MB of space (with english language installed alone: Play Market
2) you can use a workaround for using google offline libraries on android 4.1+ (in case you also can not download them from the system settings), but is not easy and requires root: xda thread here
btw I tested IVONA TTS with Utter and it could recognize my speech offline, so it should work

How do you use Ivona for speech recognition, for I only know how to use it for text to speech conversion

[Q] Google Navigation Stock Voice

So I had my Nexus 4 about 2+ months now (bought straight from Google) and just a few days ago I decided to root and install custom kernel and rom. Installed the Illusion ROM 2.0 and the Air Kernel. I also installed Slim Gapps (Slim_Gapps.4.2.2.build.6.x.zip) to get my Google apps because they are not included in the Illusion ROM. Everything is great except for the navigation voice. I used to have a woman's voice who said words clearly and sounded almost humanlike...or something close to it when speaking directions. Now I have this computer-generated woman voice which sounds crappy compared to what I had before.
How do I get the original voice back? I noticed in my text-to-speech settings that I have something called PicoTTS. Am I missing something like google related? Please help me find her
anyone?
Anyone? I did a proper search but couldn't find a concrete answer. Please help.
You should install the full google apps,or use Ivona text to speech from play store
Still want the original

Yeah I know Ivona exists. It's just that I was satisfied with the original voice provided with the Nexus 4. In fact, I really liked it I never thought that was an addon before flashing to a custom rom.
So you're saying that the Gapps provided by slim roms is not a full version?? If so, can you please provide a link where I can download the full google apps? I know the store doesn't have it cause I tried to search for it. Otherwise if any Nexus 4 owner is using the stock rom and included voice, can they somehow extract it and post a download link? It would be greatly appreciated.
If the above options aren't possible, then say I were to flash the stock rom again, would I get back the lost original voice? And then can someone give me instructions on how to extract the voice so I can install in a custom rom? This would be helpful too.
EDIT: Found downloadables. My search was flawed as I searched for "google text-to-speech, android text-to-speech, google tts, google tts nexus 4", etc. when I should've simply searched for "gapps" as "gapps tts" doesn't work either.

How do I get continuous voice input to work?

Hello all,
My continuous voice input used to work well with the stock ROM, until I installed Janjan's deodexed lite ROM.
I couldn't find anything in the add-on aroma package for this ROM/
May I know how I can get Google Voice Typing to work?
I installed Google voice search but what I'm looking for it continuous voice input... the one that types as you speak in realtime.
Thanks
