Hello,
I am french and I run the official stock JB release. I tried to use Google Now and thought I would be able to ask questions and my answer would then be spoken like I saw on youtube videos, but it's not the case ...
All it does is display the answer, but does not speak like SIRI does ... I downloaded the french voice pack, I activated voice everywhere in JB, but still does not talk ...
I then tried in english but still no voice !
Am I missing something ? Is Google Voice only a pre-release and will only be speaking in futures releases ?
EDIT : it seems that the button named "download offline speech recognition" is not present in the official stock JB release, and we need to click on it to download files which will let Google Now speak ... Does anyone know why this button is not there ? Will it be there in a future release ?
Thanks for your help !

Hi Folks,
its been an awesome time for me and my german o2 tornado (xda phone) since the wm6 rom releases.
seriously, didnt expact that few bugs and problems
but i've got 2 questions that, if answered, would make the roms (almost) perfect for me:
1. any chage to change the language of voice command?
Its not a problem for me to say "appointment" or "at work" but the german names are a bit funny to pronounce in english (my brother Tobias is called Toe-be-us for example)
2. live messenger has some really nice gimmicks, for example sending pictures. but against the wm5 version chosing the camera symbol doesnt start the nice new camera software but some kind of camera inside the pictures and videos application. know what i mean? how can i link the camera symbol to the camera.exe?
Had to change from 3 problems to 2 cause i solved one myself (application buttons)
Anyone ideas about the other 2?
Thanxs to anyone who improves the nice little smartphones..

I would love to have voice command in my own language but I am not brave enough to assume microsoft is working on alternative languages right now. It is not like changing the interface language. You must almost start from scratch for each additional language. Still, german may have a chance. did you check the microsoft web page? maybe they have some information there.
Ad 1. I am pretty sure it is not possible. I have to use Polish Vista bundled with my laptop The operating system is localised but the voice command of the OS is not. Exactly the same with opera browser. If desktop operating system do not support other languages natively I would not count on the portable ones.
Perhaps you can help
I downloadd the official rom from HTC for my Tytn. I reinstalled favorite program Microsoft Voice Command 1.6. Everything works perfectly except for the incoming notification CID. I have set VC to announe incoming calls through the speaker. I do not use any Bluetooth headsets. Are there any tweaks or patches available. thanks
How to add the “Voice Edition” item into Contact Menu for voice record?
Microsoft_Voice_Command_US_SP_1.60 seems to work under WM6 (now ROM for tornado dopod Asia WWE ) with my Qtek8310, but I can’t manage to add the “Voice Edition” item into Contact Menu for voice record.
Any idea?
Anyone have the German resources for MS Voice command?

Can you explain this? What does Voice Command have to do with recording? I dont see any use of a Voice Command menu item as it works without any neccessary recording for each contact.
And again: anyone ideas how to change language to recognize german phonemes?
Have to bring my question more on top again.. sorry for pushin another thread on page 2 though..
Is MS Voice Control part of WM6 or still separate program. If so, how did Phil integrate it to his ROM? Can i do the same with a german version?
Any clues? german voice recognition would be so great for me and i guess all the other krauts in here
I just installed MsVoiceCommand FR SP60,
There was an error at the end of the installer.
BUT it works ! Now my WWE WM6 ROM speaks French
Please can you put a link for MsVoiceCommand FR SP60
i would love a link for this FR version too, i'm having a hard time with mine currently
tks
on my old phone -HTC tattoo- I had romanian language and I would like to instal it on my nexus. the thing is my searches on google got me nowhere! any ideea about what can I do?
I sometimes just wanna voice dial a number and I get all sorts of results, for example I said "eu cosmote" and the phone understood "you should suck this"!
Hahaha
Did u try to change settings in voice input&output? Personal recognizer?
i did that, but I don't have romanian there! i was asking for a way to mount a language pack that contains romanian language!
Does anyone know what licensing issues would be involved with building an app for the Nexus S using the android source code so that you could use the offline voice recognition from android 4.1 on the Nexus S?
I read that it's up to the dev to put it on their rom or not...But I'm I CAN be wrong. Anyways if you use English US only this

will work. I tried in French my language it didn't work, but in English US it's impressive almost flawless. Enjoy offline typing...Lazy dude
Hello,
on the stock Jelly Bean ROM, for now for Google Now to be able to speak, we need the Xoom to be set in English language (both the Android menus and the Google Now language).
If we choose French or Spanish as the Jelly Bean language, and change the Google Now language to French or Spanish, then Google Now does not speak anymore.
As the stock ROM does not have the "download language pack" button (anyway, even with custom JB ROMs including this button, I never heard a Xoom speaking any other language than English, is it possible on custom ROMs ?), does anyone know if and when Google planned to add other languages for Google Now to speak other than English ?
Thanks

Nobody has an idea ? I couldn't find any information about this issue, it seems nobody cares about Google Now only speaking english ... I don't understand ...
Accessibility- then tap Google text to speach you will see install voice data, German ,Spanish ,French and Italian is the choice I see to download..not sure if it is what you are looking for..

Google Now will only speak if you choose english. It will not speak if you choose another language.
So my question is : does anyone know when Google will let Google Now speak other language than english ?

What's strange is that I couldn't find any information about that nowhere. Just like if only english speakers are using Google Now, and the rest of the world does not care ...
I really don't understand ...
Hi there!
I have a big question, in June you have posted a way to have Google Assistant on Lollipop. Now it is gonna be able in Spanish, and I need to know if that way would work in that language too (because Google says only on Marshmallow +). In English, It works perfectly, but if I change the language of my phone, it says "Google Assistant does not yet support the language Spanish (Mexico). I still have that old Google App version; and I know that Assistant in Spanish is gonna be released in the coming few weeks, but I need to be sure. Thanks!
