Swype voice recognition not working - Atrix 4G General

I'm on ginger blur if it helps.
When I press the mic button nothing happens... Anyone else having this issue?
On my gf's atrix (stock) it uses that motorola voice recognition one. Can it because I don't have that? Can that be changed in swype settings? (i didn't see the option to change)

I ran into this same issue. The solution was to download vlingo from the market. Works flawlessly now.

This worked for me.

It's no google , but it'll do I guess. Overall is it as accurate as google?

I dont like Vlingo anywhere close to Google. I was watching this thread hoping someone could present a solution for restoring Google voice commands to the Atrix.?

So I've done quite a bit of research on this issue.
It seems that the version of Swype that comes preinstalled on the Atrix has Vlingo setup as it's voice recognition engine - and there is no way to change this. Upon installing GingerBlur, Vlingo is removed as bloatware and you're left with a dysfunctional voice recognition button.
So, you have two options:
- Reinstall Vlingo
- Uninstall Swype, sign up for the Swype beta and install that instead
Doing the latter will give you a much better version of Swype, and it's voice recognition engine is the built in Google one.
In order to do so, first sign up for the Swype beta from beta.swype.com. When you do and finish activating and such, you'll be sent an email with a link to the download URL to visit on your phone.
Before you can install it however you must uninstall the current Swype. MOTOROLA doesn't make this easy - you have to manually remove the files.
The two files you're targeting are /system/app/Swype.apk and /System/lib/libSwypecore.so. I used Root Explorer to move them over to the external SD card in case things didn't work out.
Once they're gone, you can go ahead and install the new Swype Beta from the installer that you have downloaded (after logging in with the account you made)

that will not work..... I have to voice seach in google nav. and my seach bar does not have it as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=667387
Not available in Canada currently because it only supports English.
found how to get it.. just do a seach on google for "com.google.android.voicesearch.apk" and download and install and it works.. copy it to your SD card to install it.
nevermind it just crashes out. worked on my x10 tho
here this version works
hmm... if you are talking about the Bell version it comes in the stock ROM
it's labelled as "Voice Dialler"
but it is not only voice dialing, when you speak to it, it comes back with search results for both software and contacts, if you execute either one, it launches the app, or it dials the contact

thanks it does work
Earlier today I change the sell code to english and ta-daaa: voice search appeared. I'm actually looking for a way to get rid of it right now
You lose all your data though. So if you're gonna try it, go ahead and back up. I use Titanium back up (I don't love it, though: you have to stay by the phone waiting to give the green like* everytime an app is being re-installed).
EDIT: *light
sell code?...
Hmmm, maybe that's not its name. Anyway: *#272*HHMM# change HHMM for your local time, so if it's 12:30 it should look like: *#272*1230#.
Once there, check the codes http: //samsung-firmware . webs . com / samsunglettercode . htm (remove blanks) and apply the english one.
i get only this page when i google sell code samsung... so i'm not sure if such a thing exist.
anyway the 272 trick doesn't work on my i9000.

it has to get internet connection.
i think you're looking for google commands. you can just grab it from the market. but it wont work without google voice search.

Thanks,
Market didn't have "google commands" but it had "voice commands". Voice commands was listed as free but when i clicked on the link it said "not found"
I tried both appbrain and android market.
Anyone have the apk for voice command or google command?
I'm not exactly sure why voice input was removed, probably a combination of the fact that it doesn't support french and also that Samsung stripped out the default android keyboard (which has the microphone button) and replaced it with 2 far superior keyboards: their own, and swype. I guess that's the one downside of swype is you don't get the voice input button.
However Samsung did include Vlingo for free (I'm aware that Vlingo has since become free for all phones since the updated google voice commands were announced for froyo). Vlingo is actually far better than the google voice input (at least for 1.5-2.1) as it gives you commands as well as the text entry. You can also setup the Vlingo keyboard which is essentially the stock Android 2.1 keyboard including the mic button.
From what I can tell it detects words just as well as the google service. Vlingo lets you put widgets of any size (1x1 to full screen) so this kinda makes up for the missing mic button on the google search widget.
I would imagine when the 2.2 update comes out we will have the google function back with multi language support and commands!
well Nirvana388 beat me to it, i was going to recommend Vlingo as well

Thanks, but Vlingo requires internet right? My old phones had voice recognition without the requirement of internet.
Ravi84m suggested "google commands" because it doesn't require internet??

Removeable apps vs. unremoveable

I just rooted the phone ( a full 1 hour since i bought it :-D ) and I want to remove some of the bloatware, now i know with the Droid X if you removed certain programs, it could brick the phone, i was wondering if there was anything like that on this phone, or can i just nuke all the crap on here. Thanks in advance

I had no problems so far with taking out any bloatware. Vvm, block buster, nuance voice commands, backup asst, and bing were pulled out nicely with titanium. Also once bing was removed google voice search reset to hold home like other androids. Browser searches still relegated to bing results however.

Dolphin Browser searches go through Google instead of Bing
There's a fix for the search results thanks to namebrandon: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8099618&postcount=8 (apk install)
That worked. Bless you! Down with bing!

[Q] Rooted G2 - TTS not working

Hi, I have a rooted G2 running on Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 with the Go Launcher. I just tried downloading the Speaktoit Assistant for my phone, and when I tried using it, the voice never spoke back to me. So I tried checking my TTS setting, and I have several that I've tried, and none of them work. I have the stock Pico TTS, IVONA TTS HQ, and SVOX Classic TTS.
When I try to click "Listen to an example" the sample speech doesn't even work. I tried clicking "Install Voice Data" but that doesn't do anything. If anybody has this same problem, or any ideas for fixes, please help! Thanks in advance!
Bump..anyone?

7.1. Google Bev talks to me all the time. Does everything else work? Are there any other functional lapses?

Google Bev? My maps seem to work just fine. And when I do regular voice commands, they work. My google translate also works just fine too. I'm not sure what else uses the tts, but from the voice assistants, they don't work. I've tried iris, speaktoit, and even just tried the testing thing under the settings.

Do you have eSpeak TTS installed? This is the one that most voice assistants use.
I have that, ivona, and even svox. None of them work unfortunately.

I installed the eSpeak TTS and found that the software does not work in my hTC Desire Z with CM7.2 ROM. However, both SVOX and PICO TTS work fine on my phone.

[Q] New Market and FC

Hello!
New Market on motorola Xoom Wi-fi every time I want to upgrade giving me FC. I don't know how to fix it. Tried to delete upgrade install on the Application but it is upgrading by itself. Tried to clear the cash, clear data.
Nothing helps.
Please, who know how to fix this problem? Looks like new Market doesn't work on Honeycomb.
Guys, help me, please? I really need your advice?
Thank you!
What market version do you have?
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
If you have Documents to Go installed, remove it. It has a problem with the manifest and Dataviz needs to update it, you can use the version from their website in the interim.
Or grab today's free Amazon Apps, Quick Office and Quick Office HD.
Tried everything. Market. 3.1.6, market 3.3.1.1 or something like that, all of them giving me fc.
Guys, please, I need a solution. Can somebody give some advice, please? Or maybe somebody have old mafket app flashable trough cwm? Because google doing nothing for honeycomb.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
The problem is almost certainly related to an installed app, if you don't have Documents to Go installed, started removing apps one at a time until the market begins working properly and report back when you identify the offending app.
I had a thread for the same thing a page or so back.
documents to go didnt seem to cause me much grief (but i removed it anyway), but i did have a problem with Enhanced Email FCing the market (which i also ended up removing on the xoom, working fine on the desire).
noticed my market updated itself to 3.3.1.1 (or similar) the other night too - same problems as the last version.
just waiting for ICS update now and will see if that fixes stuff - I imagine it will and/or devs will update their apps to ICS
Do you have apps that you side loaded that the market reported as not compatible? I get the market FC any time one of my side loaded apps tries to update.
I found that it was a certain alternative market that caused me to "loose" all of my apps... I thought that it was the new market and even went back to the moray 2.2.1 to have the old market.
I figured out it was that other market because I uninstalled it and bingo, I had my apps...
I was pretty stupid and used titanium backup to "force" the market links and ended up with one heck of a messed up android market.... Now I am working through that..
Uninstalled the app called "Download all files" and sims like everything working for now.
Thank you very much!

actually i think i had getjar on there... that's missing from the supermarché now - I wonder if that was the issue
i was also guessing that by the time ICS hits the xoom - and all the devs update their apps for that most of this issue should go away
FWIW, I had the exact same problem I uninstalled Enhanced Email and the problem went away. Too bad, I really like Enhanced Email!

Google Now voice training not registering?

Rooted stock d803. I've got US-English installed & an trying to get the voice to work from any screen. When I choose the selection it takes me to the training screen, but won't register my voice. Anyone have issues like this? I know the Mic works because when I push the Mic button, it works without a hitch.
I checked if the app needs to be updated, but there's nothing available under the play store.
I did have this working before (an OTA update caused a bootloop) so I know it should be available.
