I installed the Vision X ROM on my S4 the other day. I went into Settings/My Device/Language and input, and clicked on "Google voice typing" I unchecked the "Block offensive words" box, but I still get the stars if I say something that's considered offensive. I tried going into the text program itself to see if there was another setting in there, but of course there wasn't.
I know this may sound trivial, but I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Ace

Never mind, I figured it out. I had to uncheck the "Block offensive words" in 2 areas.
1: Settings/My Device/Language and input "Google voice typing"
2: Settings/My Device/Language and input "Voice Search"

I really hate the robotic voice of S-Voice.
So I learned how you can download and install high-quality voices in the "Language and Input > Text to Speech" settings of the phone.
I downloaded and installed the High Quality US voice, applied. Nothing. Still robotic voice in S-Voice and Google Maps etc.
I downloaded and installed the High Quality UK voice. applied. Nothing. Still robotic voice in S-Voice and Google Maps etc.
Its weird because in the "Listen to Example" in the Text-To-Speech options it works great, I can hear the new voice.
Elsewhere its no-go.
What gives??

This happened to me too, I don't exactly remember how I changed it back to the normal young female voice after it changed when I updated to 4.3 but I think you have to go:
1. Open S-Voice (default is double tapping home button)
2. press menu key
3. select settings
4. change ur settings
try this

Hello all,
Does the alarm on the S5 not allow voice to turn off (stop) or snooze by voice? Not seeing the setting for some reason.
Thank you

If you recall where I would appreciate a link. I have been searching and not seeing anything in the VZW forums. Perhaps they are in another S5 forum?
Thanks

Greetings.
I just got this phone recently and I'm still trying everything out.
I'm running stock 4.4.2 kitkat, the build is D80220H.
So now I'm tinkering with Google now and it's voice powered search.
When I press the microphone button it starts to listen to me and it works properly that way.
So first, my settings are:
Search language is set to English (US).
In VOICE settings, default language is set to English (US).
In Ok Google tab, " From the Google app" is set to ON, but it doesn't react when I say " Ok Google".
When I try to set " From any screen" to on, it asks me to say " Ok Google" 3 times but the microphone is off or something because it just doesn't hear me, it does not listen to me.
So basically, I can't control google now with my voice. How do I fix this?
Anyone..?
Tried deleting updates for "Google" app, disabled and then enabled. Nothing.
Still not hearing me when it is asking me to repeat ok google 3 times.
Seriously, no one ever encountered this on their G2?
Got the fix.
You need to disable On-Screen Phone in accessibility options.
Thanks to reddit user Muhh24 for this.
And whole r/lgg2 subreddit.
When using my Axon 7, I noticed that whenever I long press the capacitive home button, it opens up Google voice. I'm using Nova Launcher on root and even though there is an option to change it, it doesn't work. Does anyone know how to change this?

Have you rooted yours yet? And are you sure it's Google Voice? If anything it should be the Google app.

I am sorry for any confusion. Let me explain more clearly. I am currently rooted. Also, I did not mean Google Voice. I simply meant that long-pressing the the capacitive home button launches the Google app. I want to remove that and select something else. If it can't be done then that is all that I want to know. I'll live. It really isn't a big deal. I just hope that someone has an answer.

Apologies, I didn't see that you did say you were rooted. Not sure why it won't work with Nova. I thought perhaps it might have something to do with root. Although it shouldn't.

Go to Settings. Go to All Settings. Press the search icon. Type "assist". Choose "Assist & voice input" then choose "Assist & voice input" again. Then choose what you want there.

if I type assist in the search it finds nothing?!
If you have root and xposed works on it then you could try "xposed additions". Remapping home to flashlight has revolutionised how I pee at night
Has anyone figured out how to do this? I've tried every setting and app and rooted app under the sun. Absolutely nothing disables this "feature".

This method working just fine. Even with EU model. Thanks :good:
"Go to Settings. Go to All Settings. Press the search icon. Type "assist". Choose "Assist & voice input" then choose "Assist & voice input" again. Then choose what you want there."
Make sure you tap on the words "Assist & voice input" NOT on the gear icon. Then you should be able to change the setting to none. Then you can use Nova to make the changes you want.
Alright so when they announced that there was 6 new voices being released for Google assistant, I went to look how to change it or at least hear them. When I followed the steps to do it in this link https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/7544506?co=GENIE.Platform=Android&hl=en
The option wasn't there. You can open the menu directly by telling assistant "voice settings" then click the button on the bottom. But none of the listed voices worked. You could select them but the voice stayed the same. I'm rooted and Xposed so there is likely a module interfering but I found a work around:
Steps:
1. Reboot into safe mode by holding reboot until the prompt for safe mode comes up
2. Once in safe mode open the Google app
3. Menu - settings
4. Under Google assistant category select settings, this will bring up the setting menu for Google assistant since Google assistant does not work in safe mode.
5. Preferences - assistant voice (should be there now)
6. Listen and select your favorite.
7. Reboot
Side note: after doing this the proper menu showed up when not in safe mode so now you can listen and change as you please after that.
It's cool that we have 8 voices to now choose from...
Any idea how to get the voice in Australia? I tried changing location and language settig, doesn't seem to work.
I'm on the May security update and it worked for me without going into safe mode first.

My language is set to English (Singapore). The voice options are not available from the Preferences menu on my phone, but when I speak "Voice Settings" to Google Assistant, there's an option to select among 8 voices. But all of these 8 voices sound exactly the same. Guess it's not applicable to all languages yet.

Like I mentioned above, I am rooted and have Xposed so there was likely a mod issue for me. Anyone that is relatively more stock or doesn't have the same mods as me it would likely work

I forgot to mention that I was on English Canada but changed it to English us before following my steps. That may be a factor as to why it worked. Try adding English us and have it set as preferred language then try my steps. You should be able to change back to English Singapore without having it revert back to the default.

I managed to change the voice for my Google Assistant all while staying on English Singapore.
It's strange cause voice settings doesn't appear in my Google Assistant Settings -> Preferences. I could however pull up the voice settings by speaking "Voice Settings" to Google Assistant. And although clicking on the individual voices here all returns the default voice, it does work. Had to exit the voice settings and speak to Google Assistant again to hear what the selected voice sounds like. Probably a bug!

Change Google Assistant Voice Pixel 2 XL
Tried what was suggested, but I still don't get a "Preferences" setting under the Settings menu.
