Talk to Text not working properly after software update

[Jane Ma]

I recently did an update to Android 13 on my Samsung S22+ and ever since the update, my talk to text function isn't working properly. It used to work so well, but now it stops literally after speaking one or two words, so I have to press it to type out every other word which defeats the purpose and of course capitalizes every other word. I use this function daily so need this fixed. PLEASE HELP.

The talk to text function doesn't seem to work properly for both. I've tried the Samsung and Google keyboard.

Welcome to AC!

If you go to setting>general management>text to speech tap>what your speech preferred engine say at the top.

It's on Samsung right now, but I have toggled between both Samsung and Google and still having issues ever since the update.

Keep it on Google , see if any updates for text to speech in play store

Thanks, I will try that. Do you happen to know how to stop text to talk from censoring curse words? LOL. I tried to google it but the directions are wrong.

Try looking in keyboard settings

I appreciate your help very much, thank you. The talk to text works for now after changing the default to google (THANK YOU!). But still can't figure out how to remove the censoring of bad words. haha. I keep getting asterisks.

Sometimes asterisks are stronger than the actual word.

I am terrible at this. LOL. Why can't I find that screen??? I even typed "text correction" under settings, but it just takes me to keyboard settings. Oh, maybe I'm in the wrong keyboard?

So open your keyboard and tap the gear icon i circled it will take you to a menu and choose text correction

What's confusing is that I did turn it off in Google typing and my default talk to text is google now, but still blocks curse words. I did it a long time ago, but I can't remember where I did it to fix it. Getting old.

Look at my last post i circled it in Google keyboard

I found it! It is in the weirdest spot seriously. Even though my default for voice input is Google, I have to uncheck the "Hide offensive words" under the voice input on Samsung Keyboard options too. Just too weird, but at least it's fixed. haha. Thank you again sooooo much!
