OK, so it might be me but what does installing this to my HTC Desire do?
Also, I've got google maps installed and have downloaded "Nav Launcher" for it to try and get the spoken nav working, but it's greyed out... I've seen the video of the guy speaking an address and google maps then navigates to it... I'm all confused
It's the engine for converting text to speech.
I installed this from the market and now my navigation voice isn't working.

So after reading through some threads there is a few that mentioned that 'CAR HOME' or 'Google Navigation' is not part of the Captivate. Other rumours also speculate that once you open google maps and click on 'Navigate' it will open the google navigation software.
I would really hate if ATT cripped that function. Can someone confirm if the navigation software is already on the phone or can be possibly downloaded from the market?
Thanks!!
Yes, once you hit navigate, it prompts you to accept the google nav beta agreement and then opens google nav.
Open google maps, type in your destination and select navigate. Google navigation comes up. It says you have to install voice guidance support from the marketplace to get voice guidance.

Yippeee. The other post scared me for a moment. I would have had a really hard time switching from my N1 if the nav app was crippled by ATT.
Thanks guys!!

I found this on a htc sensation forum and am having the EXACT same problem : "I have a problem with my Google Maps. Each time I try to use Driving Navigation function, I receive the following error: "For voice-guided navigation, you need to install text-to-speech support from the Android Market." Then, when I click on "Install," I'm taken to the Market and I receive another message saying: "There are no matches in Android Market for the search: pname:com.svox.langpack.installer." Has anyone experienced similar issue? Any advice how to solve this?
However, if I skip the installation, it seems that there is already basic speech navigation installed because I hear "in half a mile, turn left"-- the GPS voice however is not saying the street name or highway name like my mytouch did" haven't been able to find any explanation and its driving me nuts because i use the voice guided nav a lot.. i have the 5.8 version of maps as well. im going to try uninstalling the updates and see if the previous version works but PLEASE HELP ME OUT
Go to Settings, Voice input and output. Select Pico TTS, but u must have it downloaded from the Market. This is what I had to do and I was having the same exact problem. Hope this helps.

Running latest synergy at the moment but same problem happened with beans 9 and prior. Basically eva voice assistant works for a while and then it never responds to any command, even though i can see it here me it never proccesses what I say. Only way to get it working is uninstall, delete eva folder, then reinstall. I am in contact with developer but i suspect google now may be causing it, even tho google now voice search hears me fine and responds. Is there a way to uninstall google now and go back to ICS voice search and voice recignizer?

Have you figured this out any further? I'm on Synergy but I think it's definitely the Google Search engine and perhaps changes with Jelly Bean. I really wanted to explore voice assistants more, but I don't think I'd be willing to give up Google Now and restored local search etc
I am currently using cm10 but did this on cleanrom and synergy. The fix i am using is to search the market for voice search app to install the pre jellybean voice search. Then in language and input I select voice recognizer, which shows google twice. I select the 2nd one. I then choose voice search to confirm the background is black, which means ics voice search is selected. Using the market voice search eva has been working fine. Peter, the author of eva, said he released an update today that should have eva work with jellybean voice search, but it didnt work for me, so i am continuing with ics voice search from market.
With my workaround if you want to use google now and eva i assume you would have to switch the voice recognizer each time you wanna use one or the other. If you use eva or wanna try it the new version is 2.34, free 30 day trial version called eva intern. The author said it should work so try it with yours and see.
Thanks, I'll give the new build a try. I see what you're saying with the workaround but I'd rather just use Google Now and S Voice without fussing with it. Nice of the developers to work with the issue.

I just cannot seem to figure this out..
I cannot get voice input to work on anything other than the S Voice program that came pre-installed on my phone.
I would like to use it when I text but the stock keyboard does not seem to have the microphone icon on it anymore. Now before you jump and say "I got this" I already know about the hold the settings icon in the lower left and choose the microphone. Only when I do it I dont get 4 icons, I only get 3 and the microphone isnt one of them.
I installed SKYVI from the Play Store and it tells me that my device does not support voice input. Well clearly it does, S Voice works so I checked all my settings but cannot get it working anyplace else. Same thing with the Swiftkey keyboard... it has a microphone icon but when pressed, nothing happens.
This is an Odin rooted stock ROM, nothing special about it at all. Anyone else ever see this before?
Does it work with Google Now? Have you tried the new Swype beta http://beta.swype.com/? This works for me but my not my keyboard of choice, messageease

I dont know what Google Now is.. didnt see any mention of it in the Play store..
I did find this out though.. a lot of these voice apps use Google's "Voice Search" app. The Play store says I have it installed but when I search my phone I dont see it. The "My Android Apps" section of the Play store also says I have it installed on my device, and also mentions its a system app of some kind. But I dont have it, and cant install it from the Play store because its "already installed". I think if I can find the APK for this program, I can probably solve my problem? Anyone have a copy or know where I can get it?
FIXED!

I went online and did some searches away from XDA and found out what Google Now is.. looks pretty slick..
But I also managed to fix my voice input problem. Reading about Google Now got me to thinking.. I opened Root Explorer and went in to System/Apps and there was an APK of something called VoiceSearchStub.apk .. it had a different icon than I was expecting but I went ahead and installed it. I now have a Voice Search icon installed and the voice input on the keyboard now works. But for the life of me I do not know why it was not there in the first place!
I havent facing the issues before
Today I update to the latest version of Google Search 3.4.16 it will fc but use bundle voice recognization there where no wrong
What is the reason cause this problem??
Are you serious? You create fixes but can't post in the right forum?
Sent from my OmniROM-powered LG Optimus 4X HD
The fix is work(which I posted in omni discussion already)
(but that is not my main point in this thread....)
Current situation is...
My Problem is after applying the fix and updating to the latest version of both google search and google now launcher.it will fc when you doing the voice search using google search apk
not working when you updated to the latest version of google search 3.4.16 (so we can't update it.... otherwise will get fc always....)
Before that even I have been flashed the non-neon gapps or self-modified gapps package I still can update both laucher and search to the latest version through google play store and nothing error happen)
On the other hand, due to lack with my knowledge,
I can't do to much modified of the apps,We need genius guys to help us for fixing it completely(just like you)....
I still don't know why it will fc....(the wearied thing is if you are using voice search in google search widgets the,google search voice recognization still can recognize our voice and the words but after a few second it will terminated or saying google search has been stop working cannot show the search page directly )
if you are using keyboard to activated the voice typing or other apps (google play voice search area) related to the google search voice recognize,it will not get any fc and working properly
I have try many method(replace all lib which using by google search with non neon,pa gapps lib,change apk)
it only work on not doing updating also the apps should stay at the factory default(uninstall any update)
Here is my Logcat
Adam hope you can give me some clue on how to fix...
