The voice recognition is outstanding but every query I'm trying (sports, news, weather) is returning text results.
In a situation where I'm using voice recognition I need it to read the response back to me, without that it's next to useless.
Am I missing something? Or is it the things I'm asking?
- TrevorJ 14y agoI think you have to phrase it in the form of a question in order to get a voice response. Things like "How many meters in a mile", "Did the Tigers win?" and "What is the weather like?" all came up with an audible reply for me.
- jpxxx 14y agoTry something with a one-shot answer like "When was the constitution of Argentina ratified"? It should speak assuming the latest Google app version.
- Tyrannosaurs 14y agoI've tried weather in Glasgow, the time in San Francisco and a bunch of other very simple stuff.
- sciwiz 14y agoI believe for the app to talk back, your language settings have to be set to "US English". That's how it is on Android.
- Tyrannosaurs 14y agoSeems to be this. Which is odd. I see no reason why English UK (or "actual" English as I like to think of it ;-) ) couldn't use English UK for recognition but speak back as if it were English US. As it is it becomes unworkable set to English US it doesn't recognise stuff at all well with my accent, and English UK doesn't read stuff back which means that it's of massively limited use. So great if you're in the US, for the rest of us, still a (very impressive) work in progress.
