Voice Settings unavailable?

I was trying to try google translate, and then it told me the voice engine was not installed.. I proceeded to download eSpeak from the Market, but when I tried to enable it on Settings, I realized there are no voice input and output settings section!!
Have anybody been able to install voice engines successfully?

I installed Svox and there is an option to go to TTS settings there but when you click it it force closes settings. I'd like to find a workaround as well.

I got TTS to work w Translate, by installing the above.
HTH....

For voice input, I think I installed Google Voice Search from market.
It's kind of too bad that Google doesn't tell you how to tie all of their different technologies together ...

Hi,
Maybe I wasn't clear.
To get voice INPUT, I installed Google Voice Search.
Then, I could talk INTO Google Translate, but it wouldn't "speak" the translations.
Then I installed the TTS extension I mentioned, to get speech OUTPUT (TTS).
In the end, I had to install:
- Google Voice Search
- Google Translate
- Google espeak (Translate asked for this, I think)
- Google TTS extension

Samsung text to speech has stopped working

During debloat it seems I got rid of something that now causes this error to pop up when I have my camera or gallery apps open. Any ideas as to what one?

I had the same issue so I just switched my default to Google text to speech and viola. Not sure what I deleted to cause it but I no longer have the error

You deleted ChatOn... Its required by samsung in use of SVoice...
In order to restore it and S Voice you have to do a Kies Firmware Upgrade / Initialisation...

That's why you should freeze Apps only and wait a few days and see if anything gets messed up before going forward and removing them.

I am also having this problem, but I put back the 2 ChatOn APK's fixed their permissions and did a reboot and it's the same problem. Is there another APK that I mised?

Go to settings> mydevice> language and input> text to speech options> choose google text to speech.
this will fix it.

I can't access TTS options because it crashes. This wouldn't bug me usually, its just that opening Gallery causes TTS to crash which is annoying.\
EDIT: I guess after I updated ChatOn from the Market I can open TTS settings without it crashing. I chose Google TTS and it works now! Thanks!!

[Q] How to change S-voice TTS Engine?

I want to use another tts engine in s-voice. This must be possible. Anyone know how to do it?

You can change the global default in the language and input options, but apparently, S-Voice doesn't care about that.
It seems it is designed to use just the Samsung TTS engine. You could try removing the Samsung TTS engine with using root, but my guess is it would just not work, then.
Why do you say it must be possible? Have you seen it done?

[Q] Google TTS engine not available?

I got my Note 3 and am loving it so far. I test drove it and used navigation and noticed that the voice sounded horrible and wasn't the Google voice I was used to hearing on my rooted s3.
So I took a deeper look into setting the text to speech engine and noticed that only Samsung's is listed.
Has anyone been able to find a solution(unrooted preferably) to getting Google tts engine on the Note 3?

i had an update for the samsung tts when i customized the wake up phrases. (not sure how i got it but it popped up and said it had an update). it sounds better imo! but make sure your connected to wifi its over 60gbs!

I believe this was what I downloaded.

I did that. It sounds better than before, but I still prefer Google TTS.

Once we have root we will be able to have google tts. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472959

This works great. Just did it on mine.

I've just discovered that the HD Voice days update that you would have seen, is actually TTS done by SVOX!
I purchased SVOX, and for the UK be l voice at least, it's "exactly!" The same, same voice, same tone, same inflection used within the speech.
Not bad considering its a free addition

[Q] Google play store missing

I tried doing a search but could not find anything on topic
Google play store disappeared from my phone, I can't seem to get it to re-install it, any options? or direct link to the apk file?

Google "play store apk" with your browser.

Try going here.

Try logging out if google on your phone and logging back in.
Have a great day!

I know this isn't any help but I'd think you'd pretty much be hosed if you couldn't get Google play to work. Yeah you could go through the play store through a browser and http but that would be such a pain in the butt to deal with and deal with updates. Sounds like something is seriously wrong with your rom/setup.

Which ROM are you using asop or touchwiz?
