Hi, i'm using Google Voice Search to control different devices via Autovoice and Tasker. But the microphone of the SM-T580 is not sensitive enough to get the "okay google" command if there is any background noise or if i stand to far away from the tablet.
I found different threads about changing the values in mixer_gains.xml.
I tried to change different values in the file but i don't know where to set the right value to get a better voice recognition for the "okay google" command and the voice recognition overall.
Did anyone try to make changes to the file and got better recognition?
As attachment the original file.

Hey guys,
I just had an idea, it may already exist may not but if not I was wondering how plausible/difficult it would be.
The idea is an overlay in which it converts custom voice commands to touch inputs, so say you want to set the voice command "Left Top" to click a location you have determined in the top left hand side of the screen, basically the app would work by recording the voice command then pressing on the screen where you want it to register the touch input.
This may not be possible but I just thought it was an idea mainly for hands free systems, by default you can generally use voice commands to enter apps but not to access functions within them.
Thanks

My father has this device and has vision limitations and I set the display to use the Easy Mode. He told me that when he is on a call the mute and headset buttons don't show up. He has difficulty reading the top bar even with the large font selected. I think what would work for him instead of enlarging text in the bar would be to have a lock screen that has large icons/widgets that would be a way to fix this? Also is there a way for him to open either Waze or Google Navigation from a contact and also if S Voice would do this.
Also I don't want to anything that could be an issue with AT&T and his warranty. I know this might be a lot do but any help is appreciated.
Thanks

1.) Easy Mode does disable those functions when you're in a call. On a phone call, the only options displayed are "Mute", "Hide/Unhide Keypad" and "End Call".
2.) There isn't a way to "fix" the native lock screen with larger icons/widgets. The only enhancements you can make is the clock/date size from small, medium or large. If you do want customization for the lock screen, maybe search the Play Store for a lock screen launcher they may add the customization you want.
3.) If he is using a Galaxy S 4, Google Navigation is integrated into Google Maps now. Voice commands with S Voice will open native apps pre-installed on the phone such as this. That shouldn't be a problem. Waze, which is not native and is installed via the Play Store, probably will not open via S Voice. Again, there may be easier ways to do it. For example, I don't use S Voice on my GS4, I use Google Now.

Easier and integrates well with Android devices.
Hope this info helps!
Simple question, but haven't found a clear answer:
Is it possible to launch the Google Voice search screen on the watch, without either having to swipe several times to the left or having to sound like a dork? I just want to be able to bind it to a clickable area on my watchface (for instance through Watchmaker), so I dont have to say "OK Google".
Is it possible through Tasker or by any other means?

Pujie Black is what I use, but I'm sure other Watch face apps have the option too.
After you open the app in any other way you find, won't you still have to talk to your watch and look like captain kirk?
Well true.. But saying "OK Google" is kind of a giveaway, compared to just saying "How will the weather be tomorrow". That just makes me look crazy and not dorky.
And oddly enough I find that I have to say "Okay Google" very loud and V-E-R-Y C-l-E-A-R-L-Y, which just adds to the goofyness... Google seems to be understanding "OK Google" far worse than it understands everything else..
So is it possible?
Using the stock keyboards voice input option defaults to Samsung Voice Input instead of Google... no problem right? I just go in and turn off the Samsung voice input and voila! google becomes the voice input! See image
Then with out warning or notifying, by the end of the day it is turned on again and becomes the default voice input for the keyboard..
And, right now it SUCKS, not even close! see the 2 screenshots.
any how is anyone else noticing this?

Same here. I was able to solve it by using Package Disabler Pro and disabling Samsung voice input. It stays off that way.
This is not new. It's been the case for a few years now. I could never disable voice input or the Samsung keyboard.
Does anyone know the intent that should be used to trigger voice search on a phone running the Android Auto app ?
I have tried calling android.intent.action.VOICE_ASSIST - which does bring up voice search, but it appears to be the full google assistant window, as it covers 2/3 of the screen, and sits on top of the screen if no command is heard.
I also tried android.intent.action.VOICE_COMMAND, this looks more like the voice search that is started from within Android Auto (only covers the top 1/4 of the screen, and disappears when finished listening) - but this doesn't appear to accept any voice input.. despite showing that it's listening.
Anyone have any ideas if there are other actions that can be called to kick off the voice search ? - I'm basically looking to replicate touching the mic button in the top right of Android Auto.
Thanks!
Did you ever find an answer to this?
