[Q] speech

Hi guys I am in India.i just got my new titan. But sadly I can other any speech for phone accessibility toggle button. It only written off and no button displayed. Even I cannot get any background in my music and videos hub. It is plain black. How to do?

For speech you have to hold the windows button for a 2 second.

I know that feature works. But the feature in which my phone reads the message and also says who is calling when a call is arriving is not turning on. Is on settings>ease of access> speech for phone accessibility. My phone says it is off and is not showing a toggle button to turn it on..

To turn on the message reading and all go to settings>speech and go to "read aloud incoming text messages" it would be showing 'bluetooth only' change it to always on.
That would solve message problem.. it'll ask u xxx guy has sent you a message and ask to read it, if u say so it'll read it and u can use voice to reply

Is it possible to have the UI in a language and the speech software in another?
in the region+language menu why do I need to set "System locale" language too?

The issue seems to be for languages other then English (US), even my English (UK) removes that toggle switch and says Off. Change to English (US) and it is enabled...anyone foung a reg key for this?

Setting keyboard "show correction suggestions" setting to "Always Show" doesn't work

Setting keyboard "show correction suggestions" setting to "Always Show" doesn't work
There is a problem that we are experiencing for long time. Please, star it in order of Google devs see it. Thanks.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39729
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Make sure the Android Keyboard is set as your input method.
2. Navigate to settings > Language & Input > Android Keyboard Settings
3. Set "Show correction suggestions" setting to "Always Show"
4. Open Google Now and tap the search box
5. The Android keyboard is displayed, but does not give suggestions
What happened:
When using the Android keyboard, suggestions are not always shown to you as you would expect. A proper description of current "Always show" implementation is "Always show...with some exceptions"
(Note: This is presumably because textNoSuggestions and/or TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS is set for the inputType in the apps where suggestions are not shown)
What you think the correct behavior should be:
1. Keep the current implementation of "Always Show" but rename it "Show when enabled" or just "Enabled" (or anything that doesn't have the finality of "always")
2. Add new implementation of option "Always Show" that ignores the app's preference for showing suggestions and actually ALWAYS show suggestions.

only suggestion I can give is, stop using any custom roms. they dont focus on this little s***... it woks fine with my straight stock but rooted..

How? I'm using stock rom in my Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus and it's terrible to use the swipe feature of keyboard.

Bump. Still in 4.3.

Bump. Please star it.

for anyone still looking for a solution there is the Kii keyboard on the play store which offer the option to keep the correction bar visible while retaining the same look and feel of the original Google keyboard.

Need some help with this Feature!!
I struggle to have this option work correctly on any of my keyboard apps not only google. Allot of times theres no suggestions and what happens is the auto-correct feature kicks in instead. Now i rather have the correct way to spell a word or options for similuar words above the number keys on my keyboard. But instead theres no suggested words at all and my typing becomes etrocious and words get spelt with numbers randomly placed around and nothing corrects however words do, I guess you say the oppisite of correct? I might type "Thanks" allot and because ive hit "5hnks" hitting "5" by mistake makes the keyboard think "thats a new word, let me add that to my dicitionary" and now "thanks" becomes "5hnks" and many words that begin "Th" are now replaced to "5h" because the keyboard has auto learned Incorrectly thinking its being smart to learn how you type, Does this make any sence? its anoying when i dont cath the mistakes.. I want a better working "Sugested words" Option?

Have you found a solution?
I have tried here:
- Go Keyboard (my favorite)
- Hacker's Keyboard
- Swiftkey Keyboard.
- Cute Emoji Keyboard
Only swiftkey and Cute were able to show predictions/suggestions everywhere.

[Q] Anyone having issues with Gesture Typing?

Liking the phone so far, except gesture typing with the android keyboard will not work. I have enabled this in the android keyboard settings, and even tried restarting the phone, with no success. Is this a known issue? Anyone having the same problem?

I have no issue with the app. What is you problem? Is it that when you go to type the regular keyboard is showing? If so hit the globe icon next to the space bar. That will either auto switch to Google Handwriting Input or give you a menu to with the option to choose Google Handwriting Input. If that isn't your problem then please tell us what specific issue you're having.

Sorry, I was not too specific. In the messaging app, or search widget, or any time when the android keyboard pops up, I am unable to use swipe to input text, that is, inputting a word by sliding through the letters. This is in spite of gesture typing being enabled in android keyboard settings. Settings/Language and Input/Android Keyboard/Gesture Typing
Thanks

Oh OK. Yeah it's a known issue. Install the Google Keyboard from the play store. That one works fine.

Microphone on stock keyboard

I've had the Z1, Z2, Z3 and now Z5. I've always been able to add the microphone key during the personalization setup process for the stock Sony keyboard. It seems to be missing from the setup on the Z5. Any idea why? Any idea how to get it back? Searching led me to old threads which said to enable Google Voice under Language and Keyboard. The menus may have changed since then but Voice Recognition is enabled there. Thanks for any help, this feature is sorely missed.

So I said F-it and downloaded Swiftkey. During installation where you select a new default keyboard I saw Google Voice Typing and it was unchecked. I checked it, went back to Sony stock keyboard personalization and there was now a toggle to turn on the microphone key. What I don't understand is that under Language and Keyboard there is a menu under Google Voice but no toggle. I feel like in missing something but maybe this conversation with myself will help someone.

You figured it out yourself, but you have to turn on both a keyboard (either xperia or google or other) and google voice typing under Language and keyboard. After that you can add the button to the keyboard you use...

Question Messages answer input mode on Galaxy watch 4

I used to have basically four text input methods on my watch (4 icons): "Draw letters", keyboard , "voice to text" and emoji . Now it has all changed: for options I get "message" (within this message options are : emojis, gboard, (numbers), the mike icon meaning speach to text, voice message forwarding (as voice messge). Is it normal or just accidentally spoiled my settings? Thank you for answering!

Think it maybe you changed the input to Gboard from the Samsung keyboard. Try changing it back to the Samsung keyboard and see if that changes your selections back.

Thank you for your answer. Actually, I did not change the imput method: it is gboard. I've learned from the watch's online user guide that the screen I miss is called text input sreen. It has totally diappeared and I cannot bring it back. I made a factory reset and it has not resolved the issue. Aditionally, I cannot get the input by handwriting option (draw letters one by one) what I don't actually miss. It used to be available from the so called "text input screen". I send some screenshots. Thx

I am using the stock Samsung keyboard and if I want to compose a message (even though I don't because the screen is too small), I have the choice of voice, finger, emoji, text, or numbers. I do not know what Gboard supports since I do not have that loaded.

I am Hungarian and Samsung keyboard supports voice to text imput only in system langue ( no multiple language support). So I should change the OS to Hungaran what I don't want. And if I did I would have to answer English messages using Samsung keyboard. I can still use voice to text with Gboard but it got more complicated and inconvenient especially when driving.
