    Android 9 - November 1 Update - Has it Disabled ALL Offline Speech Recognition?

    Thanks for checking! My system language is UK English - I have both languages installed for both the "regular" system and the offline voice files... no difference... I do get a brief overlaid message saying "your audio is being sent to google for transcription" before it then says "not...
