I have Google Voice setup as my default talk to text on my Samsung keyboard which I prefer over GBoard. But I've noticed on several Google apps like translate and YouTube and a few others the mic is greyed out and can't be used on those apps any way not have that happen?

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.
The Google Now voice assistant sounds so much better then the awful default voice used in the Play Books app. I've never actually used the 'Read books aloud' and was annoyed the first few months of using the app that it was turned on by default. But if the much cleaner voice assistant voice was available I might try it out.
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!!
Hi
For some reason S Voice is not speaking it's results and enable voice feedback is greyed out in settings.
I have got TTS installed etc.
Ideas?
did you tried to clear app data and cache in app settings?...that worked for me on note 2, on note 4 i didnt had that problem yet...

Just tried. No joy. Still shows voice feedback as greyed out.
This is a known and annoying problem with S-Voice that Samsung apparently isn't inclined to fix. Had it on my S4 too.
Go to Settings - Accessibility. Scroll down to Services. Turn off anything that is turned on.
Alternative if you need Accessibility Services: Use Google's voice system.

Oh. Maybe it's the Lastpass service interfering
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.
