I was under the impression that Voice Search (aka Voice Commands) was something you needed to download from the market. However, the built-in widget seems to do everything that Voice Search does. Does this mean that Voice Search cannot be updated if it's a system app?

i downloaded this its advertised as having voice search is this not compactible with our device?
I installed it too, all we get is the search box and quick links to Google Apps, No Voice search option
I'm running Android 4.4.2 on a Nexus 5. In the settings for Google TTS voice data I have downloaded and selected the high quality male voice for English UK. The "listen to an example" option confirms this.
But when I go to Play Books and "read aloud" the voice is still the female american voice.
In the voice options for Google Now I can select English (UK) as my location but I get the female British voice.
The voice for Maps navigation has not changed either.
How do I get these apps to use Google's own speech synthesis engine?

The dev emailed me this morning to say his mysteriously started working in the HD English voice. I have sent him a logcat, will see what he come back with.
On my older device I was able to use an older version go Google Voice (0.4.7.10) and it would allow me to integrate the voicemail directly into the Google Dialer. It would add the Voicemail tab and allow me to check my VM directly from there. However, this does not seem to be working any longer. The voicemail tab will no longer display. I am still us Goole Voice 0.4.7.10 (the last version that allowed this integration) and my Google Dialer version is 29.0.234661434. Any help is appreciated....
If I downgrade to Google Dialer v26, I gain get the voicemail tab. However, anything above that (starting with v27) and the google voice voicemail integration no longer works.... they must of changed/removed something starting with v27
Just joined Google Fi. Is there any way to add "messages" to the google apps button?
Title says it all. I just left Google Voice for Google Fi and ported my GV number over.
Minor thing, but I miss having the function in gmail when I click on the google apps, then google voice, then it launches to web interface. I can't seem to find a similar setup for the messages for web app. Does this exist?
I realize I'm just lazy, but would be nice to have!

I'm looking for some way to run google assistant instead of google now when I say the moto voice wakeup phrase (Ok google; Ok moto Z; etc).
The only thing I managed so far, is to install Automagic and configure a flow that launches google assistant when the google search application runs.
The flow has some conditions, so that google assistant doesn't run when I'm manually searching in google.
Unfortunately it is not perfect, because it doesn't automatically run google assistant with the screen off, you have to say the command "open assistant" to launch it, but if it works in any other situation
I'm still trying to modify the moto voice apk to change google now to google assistant by default, but I don't know enough about programming, so it's still a long way off.
if someone manages to make this work in some more efficient way and without third party applications it would be great to know.
