2Qs - Text-to-speech & G play not download - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
(UK moto G, unrooted & latest KitKat)
I cannot get my text to speech work, Ive gone into settings & finally text-to-speech output, installed some voice data.
In all honesty I don`t even know what type of text its supposed to read. I`m guessing sms would classify... but there isnt a button to read out the text or anything. Can someone shed some light on this TTS for me please?
Also .. when I press "voice search" under speech in lang & input, nothing happens.... How do I fix this? Edit: voice to speech just worked.. and i didnt event change anything
When i plug my moto in my laptop and attempt to download from G play it just tells me the app will download soon and never does. What is the problem?... I used to have a similar problem with my galaxy S1 on a different laptop,

PLEASE HELP-navigation TTS

My voice navigation does not work properly and cant figure it out.. it mirrors this problem exactly "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. Is this normal?" i checked under voice setting and under pico it says the language pack isnt installed but i cant get it off market... whats the solution PLEASE

Bluetooth and voice commands

Hi everyone,
I have some problems while using my bluetooth headset.
What I'm trying to accomplish here is to push the headset's button, start google now and launch a command (mostly calling a contact).
On stock rom, if I try that, I got a black screen with the word "Initialization" and it gets stuck on it.
(in google now settings the option about bluetooth headsets is on).
I tried with a couple of apps like "bluetooth launch" and "voice command", and almost all the time google now is launched but it ask for "press the microphone and start talking" (I'm translating from Italian...), so I always have to interact physically with the phone.
For what I've seen, maybe the only way to fix this is using tasker with autovoice (as seen in some xda video tutorials), but I still have to try.
Does anyone has this problem?
Thank you!
It is old an Android OS issue on non-english language configured device. Even Android 6.0 is affected. It has been assigned but still no fix

[Q] Google voice search problems

I have some problems with Google voice search.
I cant get any audible answer from Google now, no matter what question i try (not every question generate audible answers).
I have tried to set media volume to max, and to press volume up when i should hear the answer. Language is set to English(US) and voice output is on.
Second problem is that i cant open any apps with voice search, or set a reminder. "Take a picture" or "Play some music" doesnt work either.
I have unrooted stock fw (4.4.4) and use the Google Now launcer (3.6.14.1337016).
This should work outside US right, as long as i have set the language to english? (i also tried this using TunnelBear vpn with no success).
Anyone know what i could try to make these things work?
edit: i've tried to fix this problem several times, it has newer worked for me. 2 minutes after posting this i solved both problems by changing system language to English (it was in my native language).
So i guess you need to use a system language that supports voice search to make it work..

Get Google maps to use Google Now instead of Voice Dialer?

Since Maps 9.2, Google maps integrated voice commands into navigation. So you can ask "are we there yet" or make a call. When I press the mic button during navigation, voice gallery pops up. Anyone know what's wrong?
Bump, no one?
Same Problem with Different Phone
I have the same problem with Note 2 SGH-I317M with 4.1.2 Rogers. Google Maps is 9.14.0. I tried all suggestions about Bluetooth Launcher and other apps like it. Those solutions do not work.
Bump.
Thanks in advance.
Same here
I've got the same problem Moto X. I once downloaded an app to disable moto voice in favor of voice dialer when I press the phone button in my car. I wonder if it affected this. I don't now even remember the apps name or if I know how to change it back anymore.

Copilot navigation and MCU question

Hello
Im using Copilot navigation and the voice is cut off, example when the voice should tell "Please turn left", tell "Please tur" and cut. On my android phone is OK.
If You want @Malaysk I can send you on private my android account where I have bought this app.
Second question, Im always update only rom from dupdate.img, I need to update mcu also?
hi i know this is old post but did you ever solve the issue, i have the same problem.
and have found i can only use the standard android voice if you change it to one of the named voices it will cut out.
I have the same problem aswell. I'm using a kgl px5 and it's really annoying

How do you get it to have the standard android voice? I think I could cope with that as I like using the co pilot app. I'm using iGo at the moment and although it works properly it's nowhere near as good as copilot.
Hi you just pick the top voice option pico TTS and it will use the basic google voice, which for some unknown reason is the only one t hat doesnt cut out half way through a sentence.

Do you mean on the copilot app itself in the voice settings?
Sorry yes the copilot app itself

I've sorted it, thanks buddy!
It is an American woman's voice but atleast it's working so I'll learn to put up with her??
No worries, glad I could help.
ab1702 i have been having a play with the voice settings and think i may have a better solution, i now have a UK voice in CoPilot that doesn't cut off and that sounds relatively normal and not like a darlek.
If you go to the playstore on your headunit and install the Google TTS package, Then go into your settings in android, go to the device' Settings, and to Language and Input > Text-to-Speech Output, and select the google TTS instead of the pico TTS option then change all the google TTS settings in the same menus u can choose english UK and there is also 2 voice packages with various Male\Female voices i find the bottom one in package one to be the most human, Once you have changed all the settings in android Then open your copilot voice options and it should have changed to the Google TTS voice you have chosen in android and should work fine. Let me know how you get on :good:
I had the same problem with Greek copilot voices. It was cutting off the voice after first 2 words. I've installed TTS and now it has been fixed, but i have problem with the voices volume. I can barely hear them while radio is on and i can't find a way to turn it up. I tried the settings in (android) Navigation menu but even if i change the volume it is still the same. Also i found a setting in languages menu to boost the tts volume but still the same even it is on or off.
Any ideas?
