Nope, not yet.

You think that is possible in the future with any mod or something?

Well, everything is possible in theory, but I don't think anyone will bother making a mod for this. But who knows?

As it doesn't even work with language setting English (UK) then I wouldn't know if it will be extended to other languages.
Obviously it would be a lot more widely usable.
I am lucky, I can have English (UK) for system language setting and set English (US) for Google voice search language

Funny... I updated the out of the box voice-search with what was available on the Android market from Google. It seems to work fine for me.
I hold down the Search key until it pops up, speak, receive bacon.
It seems to usually work fine with "Navigate To..." commands and "Send Text to ..." commands. Also, just speaking stuff to search seems to work. I have never gotten the "Play..." or some of the other commands to work properly.

It doesn't support your language...I had mine set to UK English, when I changed it to Irish English, it used Generic English for it and all the commands work well now!

^This...
Yeah, for some reason, a lot of the commands are not enabled for "alternate" languages. Set to US English or General/Generic English in the system language settings, and then it should hopefully work. If you don't want to do it for the System language, then you can also do the following:
Main Screen (Home)->Menu button->"Settings"->"Voice Input & Output"->"Voice Recognizer Settings"->"Language"->set it to "English (US)".
This should make the accuracy a tiny bit less due to non-American accent (particularly if you have a heavy accent comparatively), but it enables a lot more of the command usages.

JB voice search speaking?

How can I make the voice search to speak the answers like in the Nexus 7? That doesn't work for me, it only does a google search..
Any help?
Not all searches will be answered with built in tts, just some pre determined ones for example weather forecast

I just discovered that if I set the system language (not the voice search language) to english it works.
Do you know how to make it work if I change the system language?
Thanks

If I'm not mistaken you will find the files in /data/data/com.android.inputmethod.latin/files(/dicts). That's where at least the dictionaries for the keyboard go to. I think /data/data/com.google.android.tts/app_patts holds any of the offline voice recognition language packs.
If it works by simply backing up stuff and then restoring it into the proper location is up to your testing. I think the best bet would be to try and decompile the Google APKs to try and figure out from where they are downloaded, and what's downloaded.

"OK Google" from any screen

hi there,
I've looked around on XDA a bit but haven't found anything yet so here's my question:
Since 'OK Google' is available from any screen now since the last Google Search update was released, is there any way/hack to make this feature work outside of the states (I'm in the Netherlands)?
If I open the voice settings in Google Serach the option just doesn't appear. My phone is the Nexus 5, language is set to English (US), the ok google thing is working from the home screen or within search.
thanks!!
Here in germany this function is not implemented, too. Im looking forward for a fix/update soon...hopefully...
Would love to know this. Am in the UK on an unrooted Nexus 4. Don't have the option to start it from any screen.
From what people say, Google activates it server-side on an account-to-account basis, but what I am not sure of is is this valid only for people within the US or people elsewhere also get it (once it gets activated for your account) if they set their language to English (US)?
It's working since this morning for me. Looks like Google removed the US-only restriction!

[APP][4.0+] AutoData v2.10 (04/10/2014)

This is my first universal app on play store. It is totally free and ad-free. I only need your comments, feedbacks and maybe 5 stars if you really like.
Attention! If you have battery drain issues (wakelock issues) please remove and dont install again.
Screenshots explain everything.
No need to root.
App includes Changelog, please look from there.
It is translated to German, Russian, French, Italian, Spanish and Arabic languages.
I need Chinese and Hindu translators.
Waiting your comments & feedbacks. Thanks.

I would suggest u keep custom time for user to set the interval to wake after and wake for.
interesting, im going to install this app,thanks..
Scheduler will be very useful.
Example:
At the night, notifications aren't very important (while we are sleeping). Since 7am app could do, what was designed and finish their work about 11pm.
as @adamo000 said, add schedule. example: turn off data at 11pm sync at 6.59 am
symbuzzer said:
Only supports English and Turkish at the present. But if anyone want to translate it, I can send strings (only 24 strings) and will add this new language next version.

If you want i can translate in italian.
Can translate to french also.
Great idea. As @adamo000 I think a scheduler could be good. I'm using Agenrt as a scheduler, I hope the app will not wake up data when agent disable it at nigth.
Would it be possible to make this work for WiFi to? great app!
Settings
Very good app. At this time I use tasker - but it is very complicated.
I miss one option in settings [ ] Don't enable mobile data after screen is on
Useful will be also checking WiFi connections. If phone is connected to network, app won't do anything. If it's not connected, app will do what user want.
Neat app! I can translate the app for you in Dutch if you want.
Cool app. Thanks. What's it like for wake locks anyone comment?

Great to see that someone developed an app like that!
If you still need someone to translate it into German, I can do that.
italian
I can translate into italian
Thanks for feedback. I will try to add your request. But it is my hobby and it will be slow.
I will send strings from here. Thanks again
Turning data on once in every 15 minutes is a great idea. Thank you!
Hello may you please alternative ways to download the app, like maybe uploading the apk here as Google Play Store kicks me out saying "Your device is not compatible" BTW I'm using a Galaxy Note 10.1 I don't see a reason for this app not being compatible with my device.
Thanks in advance
Will it support multisim?
