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..

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,
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

Interesting one, and can't figure out why it's happening - so if anyone has any thoughts x)
Flashed L tonight, all went smoothly and generally everything is fine. The only weird thing is that Google Voice search has stopped working. I press the Voice search button, and it just doesn't pick up any sound. I trying saying "ok google", and it doesn't pick that up either. Also, along with that, Text to Speech refuses to work too, tried with different languages and different voice packs.
Any ideas?
I know I had to go into the Google Now settings and activate the "OK Google" from any screen, to get it to work.
I had the same problem when setting another language as the primary language, then switching back to English, but something seemed bugged.
Removing all the other languages and restoring English (US) only, and finally rebooting, resolved the issue. Hope this helps.

Hmm, just gave that a try, no dice Was it just the Voice language or the whole phone that you had to change?
The weird thing is, it's like it's not even connecting to the microphone, just sits there listening and not hearing anything x)
Yes, that was exactly the same behavior i had with mine. I also ended up trying to configure Ok Google from any screen, and the voice training feature didn't hear anything, remaining stuck on the 1st of 3 verifications.
Maybe you can try going to Settings > App > All > Google Search and deleting cache/data to restore it brand new.

Tried that, and reflashing it, factory reset etc. Turns out the problem is slightly wider than just that not working though - It's killed the Microphone completely, can't make voice calls, it's like it's just not picking up the mix exists for some reason :S
It takes time to activate, there is a backend update of google going on while you select your language, but eventually comes back on.
Try voice typing if your believe the mic is not doing any good for "ok google"

just to try it out to rule out whether it's the telephony app or in effect a bug which affects 5.0 as a whole(which i highly doubt, because i have mine working like a charm) Hell mine even works on off-screen while charging.

Ok, voice search nothing, voice typing nothing, Making Phone calls, nothing x) The only thing I haven't managed to try yet is downloading a 3rd party voice recorder app - but unfortunately I'm on GSM at work and for some reason, Lollipop is refusing to connect to the wifi as well. Good times
Might just flash it back to 4.4.4 and wait for the OTA upgrade to see if that does it better
Just as an additional - managed to download a voice recorder app.... Nothing either. So the whole OS isn't picking up the Microphone. Curiouser and curiouser
Oh hell.... I'm going to hang my head in shame now and hand in any tehcy credentials I may have once had.
I have a Pressy.... I forgot it was plugged in... I didn't install the app. Lollipop saw it as a headset and mic.
In conclusion: I'm an idiot. That is all x) Thank you for anyone who tried to help though.
I have the exact same problem but no pressy. Could it mean that there is a fault with the headphone jack?

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?

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?

Reduce the radio volume in factory settings?
Hi,
I just got my Honor 8 and I have encountered problem with voice control. Wake up word works fine, but if I try to follow with command "where are you" or "Call someone" it does not react.
Qucik call - pressing volume down and saying "Call someone" works ok.
I have tried to disable Google app, but it didn't help. Tried to find other solutions, but there is nothing.
Any ideas? Thanks a lot
Are you having problems with camera app as well pop up that says audio.google.searchbox. I'm also disappointed I can't see a way to fix this.
When OK Google detection is turned on it does this with a lot of apps.
Hello.
I think there are 2 competing voice control systems on the device. The phones voice control and googles. Am I right? Does anyone know how theese work together e.g. do you have to choose wich one to use whereas the otherone will be disabled? In the beginning my local voice control worked fine but after turning on google voice control ("ok google") the local system started erroring. When trying to configure voice control i get a message "HiVoice Is currently recording audio. com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox:interactor will not be able to record right now".
Any ideas whats going on?
I tried disabling Ok Google, but it doesn't work I switched to using Ok Google instead as this one works fine
