So I've been studying linguistics and have been learning Arabic the last couple of weeks.
I installed this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hdictionary.ar
My LG G5 worked like a charm, I was able to go back and forth from Arabic and English and pronounce all texts from both languages using the "pronounce" button.
Well my V20 constantly throws an error saying, "Sorry, Arabic text to speech engine not found in your device"
I have Google text to speech installed, I don't know why it works on my G5 and not on my V20.
I haven't tried it on my G5 since I have Nougat. But there's no way to check anymore because I'm about to sell the device and flashed it to stock and everything.
But how do I get the text to speech engine to have Arabic or for the app to recognize I have it? I don't know what to do on this

Hi All,
I'm new to android and have just purchased the Samsung Galaxy S. Can anyone tell me if it has voice to text like the nexus one or desire ?
yes under settings you can enable it.. but app has to support it.
Hmm i can't seem to find it. I want to be able to use speech to text for things like SMS messages.
I can see an app called "Voice Text" in the market - do I need to buy this first ? It's got terrible reviews.
I cannot find it either.
The Nexus One came with a voice recognition keyboard and voice search. Were these Android 2.1 standard or were they specific to the N1?

I want to know as well. I think the Evo's feature on this is great, to speak out a text reply if driving is great.
My guess is they are 2.1 standard (I read voice input EVERYWHERE is a feature). However Samsung have replaced the standard android keyboard with their own, and Swype does not have that feature (yet, I looked it up and they said they will be adding the microphone button very soon)
You may be able to install the default keyboard for android?
Supposedly this is a feature of Android 2.1, but for some reason Samsung seems to have left it out.
I purchased Better Keyboard, which allows you to enable the mic/input button on the keyboard, but when you press it you get an error message that your phone does not have the voice recognition engine installed.
You can use the Samsung Apps on the SGS to install VLingo for free (it's $9.99 in the Market), but you have to use the crappy vlingo keyboard to get the mic button that works.
Very disappointed to see this feature missing from the SGS. Supposedly the SGS version of Swype is getting a mic input button, so I wonder if the newer JWM2 ROM floating around has that in Swype and includes voice recognition.
Edit: this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712100 has a link to a working version of the voice search. I've installed it and it works.
Some are reporting that installing Google Search by Voice from the Market corrects this issue. I can't validate since that app doesn't show in the Market on either my Nexus One or my Galaxy S.
Hi!
I'm using google apps in my rooted KF (talk, gmail, etc) and they work great, except that I cannot disable predictive text in them... This is a major annoyance for me, since I mostly type in Spanish (I don't want predictive text in Spanish either...).
I've disabled the "quick fixes" under Settings>Kindle Keyboard, and it works everywhere but in google apps.
Does someone know a fix for this? Should I install a 3rd party keyboard or something? (I really don't want to have to do that since I'm a noob with adb and stuff)
Thanks!
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
I have found instructions somewhere but lost it. So I need that microphone logo above keyboard and how you get it working? All the custom roms works nicely but this stock have to install something? I have 23s and gboard keyboard and google apk are installed.
Thanks.
nobody has done this? Howto get that microphone logo working with your android keyboard or gboard keyboard. Push that and write with your voice...
The Google app needs permission for the microphone. You also need to make sure the voice keyboard is active under keyboard and language settings.

Thanks man that last option was that what I needed!! Activate that voice keyboard.
My apologies if this is the wrong forum, but my problem just started on my new Samsung Galaxy S10+ phone. If there's a better place for it, admins please feel free to move this post.
I've been using an LG G6 for the past couple of years, and when I use the Google Voice Keyboard to dictate to my phone, it has always provided me with a drop box of alternate word choices after transcribing my speech to text. It does this by underlining a word that it thinks might be transcribed incorrectly, and when you click on the underlined word, a list of alternative words appears in a drop down box.
Just this past week, I upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S10+, and I find this feature seems to be missing entirely from the Google Voice Keyboard. I've tried using GBoard and the default Samsung keyboard, and I even installed TouchPal, but I can't seem to get this functionality to appear. I've done multiple Google searches to find out how to turn this on, and can find nothing! I can't be the only person with this problem, right? What am I missing?
I did do some detective work on my LG G6, and it seems the functionality appears in the Google Messages app when typing a message, but it doesn't appear when I'm putting text into a Google Keep note, so I don't know if this functionality varies by app. However, when I try to input a new message into Google Messages app on my Galaxy S10+, that functionality is missing, so it doesn't seem to be only an app issue.
Can anyone give me any suggestions or a solution? I've attached a photo of the functionality I'm describing.
Thanks!
