On my Huawei P8 max with Android 5 I have changed something during installation or configuration.
I rarely use keyboard and usually use speech recognition - the window with "tap to pause" and the text is going to input field.
But after "something" I have only the window with "try saying something" and the text is not going in the input field during speech but after I have finished... just a sentence appears suddenly in the input field.
How to fix it, back to the old voice window "tap to pause" where I could recognize many sentences and it appears a word after word during speaking.
Solution:
go to play app
search "google voice typing keyboard"
install gboard - the google keyboard
open
select input method
configure input methods
turn on google voice typing (automatic)

I disabled this keyboard on my input. However, after each reboot, the keyboard will always appear on keyboard input menu. Amd when I go into my settings, the Google Voice typing is not selected. But once I went into the settings, the input will be disabled for the whole session until the next reboot.
Anyone encounter this?
In Settings > Language/Input, I have "Google" set as the Voice Recognizer. When I use S-Voice, is it properly using Google's servers for voice recognition, or is it going back to Vlingo (thus overriding the Language/Input settings)?
FYI, I actually don't mind S-Voice. It is arguably better at controlling phone activities (e.g. "turn off Wi-Fi" or "text John Doe") whereas Google Voice Search is better at web/informational searches (e.g. "What is the capitol of South Dakota?"). I have the best of both worlds setup so that, at the home screen, a single-press of the Home button brings me to S-Voice, but a double-press of the Home button brings me to Google Voice Search.
[ROOT] "Say OK Google" permanent in GNL and Hotword Detection in all screens
In the Google Now Launcher, As part of the "training" a message/prompt appears in the search bar that says "Say OK Google".
I know that I and a few other people on XDA and around the web found this feature quite neat and its little animations were quite nice.
However, after saying "OK Google" a few times to activate the Voice Search, the text would disappear as you were now "trained" and knew how to use the Hotword.
I was quite bummed by this obviously and always tried to get it back by clearing Google Search's data, which would reset my launcher settings too. This would reset the "training" and bring back the text but it had a downside and would also clear away all the apps/folders/widgets that I had on my homescreens.
A few days ago, Google Search was updated and a new feature was introduced which would enable you to say the OK Google Hotword on every screen e.g apps, lockscreen (You could only do this on homescreens in GNL previously). Unfortunately, Google decided to not make this feature available on the Moto X and Moto G (Which I currently have).
I found a thread on XDA which showed me how to enable this feature via a ROOT app called Unleash The Google
Basically, the app enables the dogfood/experimental/developer features of Google Search via Google Search Settings
After messing around with the new DogFood Features, I discovered that I could make the "Say OK Google" Text in GNL's Search Bar permanent instead of disappearing after a few uses.
I will tell you how to make the text permanent firstand later explain how to enable Hotword Detection on every screen
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Download Unleash the Google
2. Install the app and open it. After it finishes loading, you should see a screen that tells you to force stop Google Search. Do so by going to Apps and FSing the Google Search app.
3. Now scroll down the Google Now screen, press the 3 dots and click Settings.
4. You should now see a space on the bottom that says Config Flags. Click it.
a) To get the "Say OK Google" Text all the time, press the 6th setting titled "Always_show_hotword..."
b) To enable the "OK Google Hotword on every screen" feature, turn on "Enable_E300" and "E300_Voice_Everywhere". scroll down to "speaker_id_supported_locales" and press it. type in "en-US" (Must be that and Im pretty sure its case sensitive).
5.After doing that, scroll all the way to the bottom and press "Save Config Settings".
6. Press the Home button on your Nav Bar and then press the search box.
You should now see the "Say OK Google" Text on your search bar and/or be able to say the "OK Google" Hotword from every screen by activating it by going back to "Google Search Settings" > Pressing Voice > Enable Audio History > Press OK Google Detection > Enable "From any screen" and/or "From lock screen". You should see a new screen with prompts. Complete Them and every thing should work fine !
Need to mention that I haven't enabled these settings for long so I'm still not 100% sure if the text will stay on forever
Don't forget to hit thanks if this helped you!
not working
I was looking for this for a really long time thank you

How can I reset/fix my voice destination feature?
1. In the Google Maps "Search here" box, I click on the mic icon:
a. "Try saying something" box pops up with a mic in a green circle;
b. Another box below shows "Your audio will be sent to Google to provide speech recognition service ...etc ..saving audio to..."
2. I say something and the green circle moves with my voice indicating its recording and "Tap to speak"box pops up with a mic in a white circle that turns green when mic is pressed;
3. I say something and the green circle moves with my voice indicating its recording and "Tap to speak"box pops up with a mic in a white circle etc....
Note 1
This issue is the same on both phones where I signed in with the same google account:
1. Samsung S8+
2. Another phone Samsung S5 with LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1.0)
The 2nd phone was completely reset and worked properly until settings were restored from the same gmail account as phone 1.
Note 2
When I sign in with a different Google account on a different S5 (same OS), voice destination input works.
All voice input, language settings are the same across all devices.
Note 3
The mic works on all phones. When I click in "Search here" and then click the Gboard mic icon, then the voice search works.
Note 4
Voice destination input in the WAZE navigation app results in the same Tap to speak loop
Note 5
I tried following the suggestions in below links, but they are outdated and did not resolve my issue.

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.
