Dear android devs,
Please make an app that uses a combo of speech to text and google translations, and than it reads back out. I.e say hello in english into phone, user selects eng-spanish, phone says hola

Umm, that already exists. Its called Google Translate. If the speech input option is not present, you need to install Voice Search from the Market.

Hi all,
I got my n7 yesterday, and it is the best device I have ever used.
But if I turn the wifi off, and try and type something with the offline voice typing, it just says "failed to reach Google" or something like that.
I read that the n7 is supposed to have the feature.
I downloaded the offline voice pack In settings, but no luck, it still didn't work.
Please could someone help me, as I am often away from wifi, and as such I would really like to have that feature
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Corey

It appears you must be connected via WiFi for the Type Text by Speaking to work. From the Nexus 7 Guidebook page 51.
You can use voice input to type text by speaking. This feature uses Google’s speech-recognition service, so your tablet must be connected to a Wi-Fi network to use it.

Voice dictation, which they advertised, does work offline. For example, if you have Google Voice installed you can respond to a SMS with voice but obviously you won't be able to send it without data. Also works with Gmail. Just confirmed it.
You need to install your language. Settings, language and input, Google Voice Typing, Download offline speech recognition
Not even being able to do basic voice actions offline is getting annoying. They need to address this. My phone can do it in airplane mode on ICS, there's no reason you shouldn't have limited voice input capability with no connection on the Nexus 7.
@AMoosa, the Nexus 7 already comes with that; at least, mine did. It's already installed, size is 22MB.
Any other ideas?
New Nexus 7, out of the box, under Settings/ language and input/ Google Voice Typing/ settings/ Download offline speech recognition: English Language offline pack shows as already installed; so there is no "download" button.
It works fine when wifi is on. Turn off wifi, and it says "Can't reach Google at the moment".
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

After stumbling around on this trying to get it to work offline, I found TWO more key bits of information to make it happen.
Settings
Language & Input
Under KEYBOARD & INPUT METHODS section,
Click the SETTINGS icon to the right of "Android Keyboard"
Input Languages MUST BE SET TO "English (US)" (I assume to match my downloaded language file).
Ensure the checkbox is enabled beside "Google voice typing", and set to "automatic" (it can't be a mismatch from the "Android keyboard" setting or again it won't work).
None of this seems to be a problem if you've got your overall language setting to be English (United States) and are using the default "use system language" option for Android Keyboard. In other words, it's tweaked to work fine for US users, but others need to fiddle.

Hi,
I am rooted and running Glazed ICS 1.1.1 on my Nexus 7...
I just can't get Google Voice Search to answer any of my command by something else than a Google Search. For example, if I ask "What's the weather like in Miami" it simply search Google for "What's the weather like in Miami".
Any idea?
Thanks!

I had the same problem, just go to settings, language and input and change it to English (US version), than go to voice search, language and change it also to English (US version), than go to tech-to-speech output, than Google tech- to- speech setting and change also to english(US version)
Hope I could help

Hey there,
I wondered if we could gather interest from i9500/i9505 users to create a modified version of swype that uses Google Speech instead of Dragon Dictation.
Any interest?

Hello everyone,
I tried to install different ROM's, but none of them had the option "download offline speech recognition" in Settings->Language & input ->Voice search
I also updated the app to the new version, but nothing has changed.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
I don't really use this speech thing. But in most cases, when I install a ROM I see an option during installation for "Offline google now" or something like that. Try to select that option and see what happens. Good luck.
You have to download Offline speech recognition first. Here's how:
Go to settings> Language and Input> Google voice tying's settings> Download offline speech recognition, then select any language you want to download for offline speech recognition. That's all.

Oops, my bad. I apologize for it. Thanks for pointing it out!
@glaciuse, I think the roms you installed doesn't support offline speech recognition then.
@Marvlesz, thanks for the idea, I'll definitely try it, but I usually check all the options when installing the ROM and now I do not remember the option like "Offline google now". Of course, I could overlook it, will have to check it out
@D4nyal, I've tried a lot of the latest JB v4.1 + ROMs and nowhere was this option :/
Now I installed android 4.2 on Virtual Box and there also is no such menu option. It seems to me that just don't have packet for that.
For this option, I need something in addition to Google search packet?
Solutions
some options to use:
1) use IVONA TTS engine (it also lets you recognize speech offline) it reqires 150 MB of space (with english language installed alone: Play Market
2) you can use a workaround for using google offline libraries on android 4.1+ (in case you also can not download them from the system settings), but is not easy and requires root: xda thread here
btw I tested IVONA TTS with Utter and it could recognize my speech offline, so it should work

How do you use Ivona for speech recognition, for I only know how to use it for text to speech conversion
